Catalase (CAT) CAS 9001-05-2 is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water, present in the peroxidase system of cells. Catalase is a marker enzyme of the peroxisome, accounting for approximately 40% of the total peroxisome enzymes. Catalase exists in various tissues of all known animals, especially in the liver at high concentrations. Catalase is used in the food industry to remove hydrogen peroxide from milk used in cheese manufacturing. Catalase is also used in food packaging to prevent food from being oxidized.

EINECS: 232-577-1

Application

Catalase is used in the food industry to remove hydrogen peroxide from milk used in cheese manufacturing. Catalase is also used in food packaging to prevent food from being oxidized. In the textile industry, catalase is used to remove hydrogen peroxide from textile fabrics to ensure that the finished product is peroxide free. It is also used for cleaning contact lenses: after soaking the glasses in a detergent containing hydrogen peroxide, the remaining hydrogen peroxide is removed using catalase before use. The use of catalase in the beauty industry: Some facial treatments incorporate this enzyme and hydrogen peroxide to increase the oxygen content of cells in the upper layer of the epidermis.

Catalase is often used as a tool in the laboratory to understand the impact of enzymes on reaction rates.
