Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes 1 μmol acetic acid per minute at pH 7.4 and 40 °C (triacetin, Cat. No. 90240 as substrate) 50 U as described above are equivalent to ~1 U using triolein, Cat. No. 62314 as substrate, at pH 8.0 and 40 °C
Other Notes
Selective acylation and deacylation of furanose and pyranose derivatives; Enantioselective hydrolysis of 2-methyl 3-acetoxy esters; Resolution of the diols of bicycloheptane and bicyclooctane by enzymic hydrolysis; Glyceride synthesis.

Inorganic selenium (Se) in the form of selenite is applied to livestock to avoid Se deficiency. Selenite is, however, an artificial Se source in diets of unsupplemented chickens. It is therefore hypothesized that organic Se sources, such as Se-enriched yeast
