Definitions

n.名词 noun

1
Biochemistry.
- : an enzyme, occurring in yeast and in the digestive juices of animals, that causes the inversion of cane sugar into invert sugar.

When hydrolyzed by acids, or by the enzyme "invertase," it yields a mixture of equal quantities of glucose and fructose.
The optimum temperature for invertase is 50° to 54°; it is killed if heated, in the moist condition, to 70°.
Fischer found that the enzyme “invertase,” which is present in yeast, attacks methyl-d-glucoside but not methyl-l-glucoside.
