Catalysts - Enzymes - Chocolates and Baby Food.
Enzymes are used to make some soft-centred chocolates.
An enzyme called invertase will convert a sugar
called sucrose
into smaller sugar molecules called
glucose and
fructose.
The breaking down of some sucrose molecules
causes the chocolate to become
softer and sweeter
(fructose is
particularly sweet).
Proteases may be used in making baby
food.
Large protein
molecules can be partly broken
down into amino acids.
This process happens naturally during
digestion.
Using enzymes to pre-digest the protein in food
makes it easier for digestion by the baby.
