food products : lysozyme

Product Information

Lysozyme is a natural antimicrobial agent obtained from liquid egg white in the hydrochloride form for food use. Lysozyme can attack cell wall polysaccharides of different bacterial species, especially Gram positive bacteria, leading to rupture of the cell wall and killing of the microorganisms. It is also a raw material for pharmaceutical industry.

As a food additive, it has E numer E1105.

Structural unit and Molecular structure

Lysozyme is a polypeptide obtained from hen's egg whites consisting of 129 amino acids; it is usually obtained in the hydrochloride form for food use and it possesses enzymatic activity. Molecular weight: 14000 g/mol

Properties and Application of Lysozyme

Microbiologic Character: Lysozyme can solubilize the membrane of the most bacteria cell walls by hydrolyzing the bonds between NAG subunits of the glucoproteins of the bacterial cell walls, so as to kill the cells. It is especially effective on Gram(+), bacillus subtilis, and other spore-forming bacillus, etc.

Solubility and stability:

Antimicrobial property:

Lysozym; is used in cheese production to prevent "late blowing". This phenomenon is caused by the growth of Clostridium tyrobutyricum, a contaminant present in milk used for cheese production. Lysozym; can attack cell wall polysaccharides of different bacterial species, especially Gram positive bacteria, leading to rupture of the cell wall and killing of the microorganism.

Lysozym; is known as an effective immunological agent. It is used in human therapy for the treatment of viral and bacterial infections. Lysozym has analgesic properties and has been used as a potentiating agent in antibiotic therapy. Lysozym is used in the prophylaxis and therapy of leukopenia induced by antiblastic and ionizing radiation. EDTA-tris- lysozym solutions are effective in the treatment of coliform infections of the bladder in humans. The anti-inflammatory action of lysozym consists in the neutralization of acid substances released in the inflammatory process. Stipulation of phagocytosis by lysozym favours wound     healing and regression of degenerative and necrotic processes. Lysozym-mediated decrease of mast cell degranulation leads to reduction of histamine release and a subsequent anti-oedema effect.

Application: Lysozyme can be used in a variety of foods and pharmaceuticals:
