Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the industrial processing of food, feed or vegetable oils, plant and animal products and the fields of enzymology. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods for the enzymatic treatment ("bleaching" or "decolorization") of chlorophyll-containing compositions or chlorophyll-contaminated compositions which For example, algae, animal or plant preparations, food, feed or oils, such as vegetable oils, including oils processed from oilseeds such as rapeseed (rapeseed) oil or soybean oil, or oils processed from oilseeds such as palm oil. In one aspect, the invention provides a method of enzymatically modifying chlorophyll, eg, in algae, animal or plant preparations, or food, feed or oil using a chlorophyll catabolizing enzyme (eg, chlorophyllase). Background technique
[0002] Vegetable oils from oilseeds such as canola or soybean, or from oilseed fruits such as palm, contain chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is r...
