A major use of glucose oxidase has been in the determination of free glucose in bodyfluids, food and agricultural products. However, it has been gaining increasing attention in the baking industry; its oxidising effects result in a stronger dough. In some applications, it can be used to replace oxidants such as bromate and L-ascorbic acid. Other uses of glucose oxidase include the removal of oxygen from food packaging and removal of D-glucose from egg white to prevent browning. Glucose is oxidized to gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide by glucose oxidase.
