Peroxidase is an enzyme in the group of oxidoreductases that is widely distributed in nature. It can catalyze the oxidation of various organic and inorganic substrates by reacting with hydrogen peroxide and similar molecules. Due to its wide catalytic activity, peroxidases can act in the removal of both phenolic compounds and peroxides, in chemical synthesis and, according to recent studies, in mycotoxin degradation. Therefore, this study aimed at introducing an overview of the mechanism of peroxidase action, extraction sources, mycotoxin degradation capacity and other potential applications in the food industry.
过氧化物酶是氧化还原酶组中的一种酶，广泛存在于自然界中。它可以通过与过氧化氢和类似分子反应，催化各种有机和无机底物的氧化。由于其广泛的催化活性，过氧化物酶可以在酚类化合物和过氧化物的去除、化学合成中发挥作用，并且根据最近的研究，还可以在真菌毒素降解中发挥作用。因此，本研究旨在介绍过氧化物酶作用机制、提取来源、真菌毒素降解能力以及在食品工业中的其他潜在应用的概述。
