Usage

Description

Laccase, also known as polyphenol oxidase, is a multicopper enzyme (benzenediol:oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2) that is widely distributed in fungi, plants, bacteria, and insects. It is capable of oxidizing phenolic substrates, aromatic amines, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons through a one-electron reduction process, accompanied by the reduction of molecular oxygen to water. Laccase is a promising enzyme for various industrial applications due to its broad substrate range and ability to catalyze the ring cleavage reaction of aromatic compounds.

Uses

Used in Wastewater Treatment:
Laccase is used as a biocatalyst for the degradation of pollutants and the removal of phenolic compounds in wastewater treatment processes.
Used in Laccase Assay and Screening:
Laccase is employed as an analytical tool for assessing enzyme activity and screening laccase-producing strains for potential applications.
Used in Enzymatic Biofuel Systems:
Laccase is used as a catalyst in enzymatic biofuel systems to facilitate electron transfer to a solid electrode wire, improving the efficiency of bioenergy production.
Used in Textile Industry:
Laccase is used as a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical dyes in textile dyeing and finishing processes, reducing environmental impact and improving product quality.
Used in Wine Cork Making:
Laccase is used for polymerization of phenolic compounds in cork stoppers, reducing off-flavors and improving wine quality.
Used in Teeth Whitening:
Laccase is used in teeth whitening products to remove stains and improve dental aesthetics.
Used in Food Industry:
Laccase is used for various applications in the food industry, such as stabilization of beverages, reduction of off-flavors, improvement of wheat dough, and as a biosensor in food processing.
Used in Beverages:
Laccase is used to remove polyphenols and oxygen from beer and fruit juices, increasing their storage life and stability.
Used in Bakery Industry:
Laccase is used in combination with proteases or xylanases to improve dough quality in the bakery industry, enhancing the texture and appearance of baked goods.
Used in Biotechnological Applications:
Laccase is used in biotechnological applications, such as the removal of cellulase inhibitory compounds from biomass slurries, improving the efficiency of biorefineries.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Laccase oxidizes aromatic and nonaromatic compounds. Various compounds are used for detecting laccase production. These include guaiacol, syringaldazine and polymeric dyes like remazol brilliant blue-R. Laccase is involved in lignin degradation and thereby has industrial as well as food applications. Laccase is commonly used for delignification, dye bleaching, paper processing, waste detoxification, textile dye transformation, plant fiber modification and ethanol production.
