Lysozyme is an alkaline enzyme that can hydrolyze mucopolysaccharides in cell walls. There are many sources of lysozyme, such as egg white lysozyme, plant lysozyme, animal lysozyme, microbial lysozyme, etc. Lysozyme from different sources has different antibacterial spectra. The enzyme has stable chemical properties, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and other effects, and has good thermal stability and acid-base stability.
Mechanism of action of lysozyme
The bactericidal mechanism of
lysozyme is relatively direct. It destroys specific chemical bonds in the bacterial cell wall, causing the cell wall to rupture and eventually causing the bacteria to dissolve and die. Studies have shown that lysozyme can not only effectively kill bacteria, but also has an inhibitory effect on certain viruses. Therefore, in some cases, the application of lysozyme can be used in combination with other drugs to improve the efficacy and shorten the course of the disease. This mild and efficient property makes lysozyme widely used in both the medical and food industries.
Application of lysozyme
Lysozyme has a strong bactericidal effect on Gram-positive bacteria. When compounded with EDTA-disodium or chitosan, its antibacterial effect can be enhanced. At present, lysozyme, as a natural protein preservative, is used as a
food preservative. It is safe, efficient and non-toxic. It has been widely used in the preservation of meat products, dairy products, aquatic products and beverages. In addition, lysozyme is used in oral hygiene products to prevent a variety of dental diseases and caries.
Safety of lysozyme
Lysozyme is often mentioned in today's health field, but many people still have doubts about its safety: Is lysozyme harmful to the human body? Today, we will explore this in depth to help you understand this mysterious "bactericidal expert". First of all, lysozyme is a natural enzyme that is widely present in human tears, saliva and mucous secretions. It is an important part of the body's immune system. It can not only be found in the human body, but also extracted from egg white, indicating its universality and importance in nature. In contrast, antibiotics are scientific products in the laboratory, usually produced by microorganisms, specifically targeting bacterial infections.
