Abstract
The present invention relates to novel polypeptides according to caroase 01-05 or any functional equivalents of any of them, suitable for use in a method for preparing a food products having increased whiteness, the use of the enzyme to increase whiteness of at least part of a food product, a process for preparing a food product wherein the enzyme is used and the food product obtained.
Claims3
An isolated polypeptide that has the ability to increase whiteness of a food product, wherein the polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7;
- (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide which hybridizes under high stringency conditions to the complement of the polynucleotide of (a), and wherein said high stringency conditions comprise hybridizing at 68° C. in 5×SSC, 5×Denhardt's solution and 1.0% SDS and washing in 0.2×SSC and 0.1% SDS at room temperature;
- (c) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12;
- (d) a polypeptide that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12;
- and
- (e) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence that is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.
