Lipoxidase derived from soybean flour is widely used to decolorize the natural pigments in wheat flour. Although lipoxidase activity is exhibited by many microbial (fungal) preparations, these have not been able to replace the soybean lipoxidase.

A comparison of the response of lipoxidase from various sources to p-chloromercuribenzoate has been made (Siddiqi and Tappel, 1957). The enzyme from soybean, wheat, and peanut was not affected while that from urd and mung beans was strongly inhibited. Since glutathione...
