Among the following, which industrial enzyme is not derived from animals?

Correct option is C

✅ (c) Lipoxygenase:
· Lipoxygenase is an enzyme derived from plants or microorganisms, not animals.
· It is used industrially in food processing, especially in bread making, to improve dough properties.
· The other enzymes listed are animal-derived:
· Trypsin: A protease enzyme from the pancreas of animals, used in protein digestion.
· Amylase: Can be from animals or microbes but traditionally sourced from animal pancreas; it breaks down starch into sugars.
· Chymosin: An enzyme from the stomach of calves used in cheese making to curdle milk.
❌ (a) Trypsin: Animal-derived enzyme. ❌ (b) Amylase: Often animal or microbial but traditionally animal-derived. ❌ (d) Chymosin: Animal-derived enzyme used in cheese production.
