“…: depolymerization with carbohydrolases or lyases (Cheroni, Formantici, & Galante, 2010;Delattre et al, 2015;Tavernier et al, 2008), debranching with ␣-glycosidase, oxidation with oxidases (i.e., laccase, peroxidase, galactose oxidase), but also for the "elimination" of insoluble proteins with proteases (Baldaro et al, 2012). Enzymatic oxidation of guar GM has been described using either a wild type galactose oxidase (GaO), followed by reductive amination (Hall & Yalpani, 1980) or by halogen oxidation (Frollini, Reed, Milas, & Rinaudo, 1995), or with a highly engineered GaO by Parikka and co-workers (Delagrave et al, 2001(Delagrave et al, , 2002Ghafar et al, 2015;Leppanen et al, 2010;Mikkonen et al, 2014;Parikka & Tenkanen, 2009;Parikka et al, 2010Parikka et al, , 2012Parikka, Master, & Tenkanen, 2015). More generally, oxidation of polysaccharides with the enzyme laccase can generate reactive groups (e.g., carbonyls, carboxyls) on cellulose , on starch (Viikari, Niku-Paavola, et al, 1999), on pullulan (Jetten et al, 2000), and on guar galactomannan (Lavazza et al, 2011).…”
