29 June 2020 - Enzymes for multiscale probing of bioproducts: a review

Enzymes are essential and ubiquitous biocatalysts involved in various metabolic pathways and they are used in many industrial processes. This review presents enzymes not only as biocatalysts transforming bioproducts but also as sensitive probes to explore the structure and composition of complex bioproducts.

Indeed, the processing of many bioproducts such as meat tissues, dairy products or plant materials requires a good knowledge of the mechanism of action of enzymes in order to optimize food and non-food bioprocesses. Our review details the overall strategy and presents the latest research to prepare and use enzymes as relevant probes of bioproduct architecture and composition, with emphasis on glycoside-hydrolases involved in plant deconstruction and proteases and lipases involved in food digestion.

This work is the result of a cross-disciplinary collaboration between several laboratories of the INRAE Transform Division.
