Other names: Soybean seed coat peroxidase, soybean peroxidase

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)

Soybean Peroxidase, also known as Soybean seed coat peroxidase or soybean peroxidase, is an enzyme that is considered one of the most active and stable peroxidases. This enzyme is extracted from soybean seeds, specifically from their coats. Soybean Peroxidase has a high affinity for hydrogen peroxide and can work in a wide range of pH. Soybean is the main source of this enzyme, mainly due to its availability and low cost of production.

Soybean Peroxidase is used in a large number of products and industrial applications. It is most commonly found in the biotechnology industry, where it is used for surface treatment, lignin bioconversion and dye removal. It also plays an important role in the food industry where it is used for the detection of hygiene deficiencies. It is also added to some cleaning and bleaching products for its oxidising properties. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used in the production process of certain drugs. Last but not least, its abilities are used in environmental technologies to remove pollutants from water and soil.
