Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide that has the ability to increase whiteness of a food product, wherein the polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of: (a) a polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7; (b) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide which hybridizes under high stringency conditions to the complement of the polynucleotide of (a), and wherein said high stringency conditions comprise hybridizing at 68° C. in 5×SSC, 5×Denhardt's solution and 1.0% SDS and washing in 0.2×SSC and 0.1% SDS at room temperature; (c) a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12; (d) a polypeptide that is at least 95% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12; and (e) a polypeptide encoded by a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence that is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7.
