Semi-protected edit request on 27 August 2021

Add "EC 7, translocases: catalyze the movement of ions or molecules across membranes, or their separation within membranes." to the end of the bullet point list under the title 'Classification and nomenclature'. TheAlanine (talk) 23:04, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update, TheAlanine - done here, by reference to our already-updated articles at Enzyme Commission number and translocase. FYI, I knew what you meant, as would most editors who watch this specific page, but in general if you make any future edit requests it's easier for others to review them if you also include a link to your source, so they can be sure the information is accurate.

Enzymes in food not a topic here ? And in connection to the body-own enzymes

Sorry, from currently discovering enzymes in food, vegetables, fruits, and where else, leads me to this question, please. (1 question also, the heat resistance of enzymes in food.)
Thanks the interesst. --Visionhelp (talk) 21:41, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They are unlikely to survive gastric acid during digestion and will be destroyed by cooking. Graham Beards (talk) 21:49, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Destroyed they are from cooking at from between 40 and 45 (degree) C., 104 F. to 113 F.
Enzymes are essential as pre-condition to process the nutrients, vitamins and minerals, near much more functions.
How the enzymes are processed for the intake into the body, whether it is necessary for the enzymes to survive the digestion, this is just not a question. The successful intake into the body happens, by giving.

Enzymes

Potential hazards of enzymes

Enzymes are increasingly being used in household products - even food additives. Couldn't find mention in either this article or 'Industrial Enzymes' about potential hazards (whack me with a trout if I'm wrong). A quick look at what's online: Old Guardian article "Enzymes used in cleaning products and food 'are potent allergens'". And this paper found that "Twenty-three per cent of all exposed workers showed type I sensitisation with IgE antibodies directed against respective workplace-specific enzymes". The EU's Hazard classification of industrial enzymes. Also found mention of an aerosol spray producing concentrations in air about 12 times recommended levels.

I've not the time right now - but could try in a few months to do up something - so please leave comments. 58.110.44.246 (talk) 13:56, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
