Invertase: A Monograph by Carl Neuberg is a comprehensive book that delves into the properties, functions, and applications of invertase, a crucial enzyme involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of invertase, such as its structure, mechanism of action, and regulation.The author begins by providing a brief overview of the history of invertase research, followed by a detailed description of the enzyme's physical and chemical properties. Neuberg explains how invertase catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose, and how it is involved in the breakdown of other carbohydrates such as raffinose and stachyose.The book also discusses the various factors that affect invertase activity, including pH, temperature, and substrate concentration. Neuberg highlights the importance of invertase in the food industry, where it is used to produce sweeteners, syrups, and other products. He also explores the potential medical applications of invertase, such as its use in the treatment of diabetes and other metabolic disorders.Overall, Invertase: A Monograph is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of biochemistry, food science, and medicine. It provides a thorough understanding of the enzyme's properties and functions, as well as its potential applications in various industries.Sugar Research Foundation, Scientific Report Series, No. 4.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
