What does the enzyme activity specification such as 10,000-150,000 U/g mean?

Activity is measured in enzyme units per gram of powder, so a higher U/g value means less enzyme is needed to oxidize a given amount of glucose. The product can be customized across that range to match industrial, food, diagnostic, or research requirements.

What are the optimum pH and temperature for Glucose Oxidase?

Typical glucose oxidase preparations work best around pH 4.5-6.5 and 30-50 degrees C, depending on the source and formulation. High temperatures reduce enzyme stability, so the process should stay within the selected product's thermal range.

How is GOD enzyme used as an oxygen scavenger in food and fermentation?

By oxidizing glucose, the enzyme consumes dissolved oxygen and produces hydrogen peroxide, helping limit oxidation and the growth of aerobic microorganisms. This oxygen-depletion function is useful in food preservation and in fermentation processes that need reduced oxygen levels.

Why is Glucose Oxidase used in glucose biosensors and diagnostic assays?

It is a core recognition element because its reaction rate changes with glucose concentration and can be coupled to oxygen electrodes or colorimetric peroxide detection. This allows precise glucose quantification in biosensor strips, clinical analyzers, and biochemical test kits.

Product Description

Glucose Oxidase CAS 9001-37-0 is an oxidase enzyme, also known as GOD enzyme or beta-D-glucose:oxygen 1-oxidoreductase, with EINECS 232-601-0.

Synonyms: GOD enzyme; Beta-D-glucose:oxygen 1-oxidoreductase; Glucose oxyhydrase; Notatin; Fungal glucose oxidase.

CAS: 9001-37-0.

As an enzyme, it is described by activity and source rather than a molecular formula.

It appears as a pale yellow to brownish powder or granule.

It catalyzes the oxidation of beta-D-glucose to D-glucono-delta-lactone and hydrogen peroxide while consuming oxygen.

The lactone then hydrolyzes further to gluconic acid in aqueous systems.

Activity is measured in enzyme units per gram, commonly customizable from about 10,000 to 150,000 U/g.

It works best around pH 4.5–6.5 and 30–50 °C, depending on the source and formulation.

By oxidizing glucose, it consumes dissolved oxygen and produces hydrogen peroxide, limiting oxidation and aerobic microorganism growth.

This oxygen-scavenging function is useful in food preservation and in fermentation processes that need reduced oxygen.

It is a core recognition element for glucose biosensors, clinical analyzers and biochemical test kits.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers away from moisture and heat.

Protect from moisture and keep containers closed when not in use.

Confirm appearance, activity (U/g), pH range, temperature range and grade as required.

Use suitable dust and eye protection during handling, and wash skin contact with soap and water.

Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.
