The glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx) also known as notatin is an oxido-reductase that catalyses the oxidation of glucose to hydrogen peroxide and D-glucono-δ-lactone. This enzyme is produced by certain species of fungi and insects and displays antibacterial activity when oxygen and glucose are present.

The glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx) binds to beta-D-glucopyranose (a hemiacetal form of the six-carbon sugar glucose) and aids in breaking the sugar down into its metabolites. GOx is a dimeric protein that catalyzes the oxidation of beta-D-glucose into D-glucono-1,5-lactone, which then hydrolyzes to gluconic acid.
 
Glucose oxidase is also produced by the hypopharyngeal glands of honeybee workers and deposited into honey where it acts as a natural preservative. GOx at the surface of the honey reduces atmospheric O2 to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which acts as an antimicrobial barrier.

1.Role of glucose oxidase in wheat flour

Glucose oxidase can be converted into  glucose by the presence  of oxygen in the presence  of oxygen, and hydrogen  peroxide.  So as to enhance  the strength of gluten.To improve dough extension and increase the volume of bread.In the production of noodles, glucose oxidase is a good protein network structure, which can increase the strength of the noodles.

2.Role of glucose oxidase in medical diagnosis

A reagent for blood sugar content measurement.

3.Role of glucose oxidase in the preservation of animal products

Preservation of precious products, non-toxic and no residue, increase the taste of fresh.

4.Role of glucose oxidase in animal breeding

Remove the body,especially intestinal pathogenic factor, intestinal environment optimization, improve appetite, increase  feed intake and replace  antibiotics and probiotics. Protect the immune system, enhance the  function of the liver,  reduce the drug  residues in animals,  improve  the  quality  of the animal products.

5.Role of glucose oxidase in the prevention and treatment of animal diseases

It can quickly relieve the toxin, especially the mould toxin. As a doctor, to profit, health products use in aquaculture, significant benefits.
