Unit Definition
One unit of sucrase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one µmole of glucose per minute from sucrose (10 mM) in sodium maleate buffer (100 mM), pH 6.8 at 30°C.
Applications
Sucrase from yeast can be used for the separation of sucrose in the cereals, food and feeds, fermentation, and beverage industries.
