How Do You Invertase an Enzyme

Invertase from baker’s yeast was purified by concentrating the crude extract with ammonium sulfate (70%), dialyzed using sample buffer (0.1 M Tris, pH 7.2) and followed by centrifugation. The resultant supernatant was then applied on DEAE-cellulose column equilibrated with Tris buffer.

Where is invertase enzyme produced?

Invertase is produced by different strains of microorganisms, Saccharomyces cerevisiae commonly called Baker’s yeast is the primary strain used for the production of Invertase commercially. They are found in wild growing on the skin of grapes, oranges and other fruits.
