Detailed explanation-1: -The enzymes will not increase the rate of reactions as much as they would at 70 °C . 62 . Many of the proteins in the human body are enzymes that catalyze chemical reactions .
Detailed explanation-2: -3. Meat tenderizer contains an enzyme that interacts with meat. If meat is coated with tenderizer and then placed in a refrigerator for a short time, how would the enzyme be affected? (1) It would be broken down.
Detailed explanation-3: -Papain breaks down the protein sheath around meat fibers and make the meat easier to chew. Commercial meat tenderizers such as Adolph=s, contains papain.
Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes can speed up or catalyse the breakdown of proteins into amino acids.
Detailed explanation-5: -Much the same way enzymes in the human body help you digest food, tenderizing powder acts enzymatically to break down the rubber-like elastic fibers that make less tender cuts of meat hard to swallow.
