Which of following enzymes is used in the stabilisation of rice bran oil?
The correct answer is Lipase.Lipase enzymes are used in the stabilization of rice bran oil.Rice bran oil is known as wonder oil and it is the most important vegetable oil in Asia.Rice bran oil is extracted from bran which is the outer hard layer of rice.It is an emerging category in edible oil with a lot of nutritional properties and health benefits.Rice bran oil is heart-friendly, immunity, and prevents other diseases.The current study aimed to stabilize rice bran oil through different probiotic isolates and to assess the nutritional content of rice bran oil after stabilization.The study was aimed to inactivate naturally occurring lipases that can hydrolyze oil into glycerol and free fatty acid which is a serious problem that gives it a rancid taste and smell.Additional InformationHydrolases are the group of enzymes that catalyze bond cleavages by reaction with water. The natural function of most hydrolases is digestion to break down nutrients into smaller units for digestion.Catalase is a key enzyme that uses hydrogen peroxide, a non-radical ROS, as its substrate. This enzyme is responsible for neutralization through the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, thereby maintaining an optimum level of the molecule in the cell which is also essential for cellular signaling processes.Cellulase is any of several enzymes produced chiefly by fungi, bacteria, and protozoans that catalyze cellulolysis, the decomposition of cellulose and of some related polysaccharides. The name is also used for any naturally occurring mixture or complex of various such enzymes, that act serially or synergistically to decompose cellulosic material.
