Definitions and meanings of "Invertase"

What do we mean by invertase?

An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose. noun

A ferment which inverts higher sugars to lower forms; specifically, a ferment which inverts cane-sugar to dextrose and levulose. noun

An enzyme capable of effecting the inversion of cane suger, producing invert sugar. It is found in many plants and in the intestines of animals. noun

By extension, any enzyme which splits cane sugar, milk sugar, lactose, etc., into monosaccharides. noun

An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose (invert sugar); used by bees to produce honey. noun

An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose noun

An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose (invert sugar), used by bees to produce honey and in the food industry to soften chocolate.
