Introduction of Challen GOX (Glucose Oxidase)
Glucose oxidase catalyzes the reaction of glucose with oxygen to form gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which has a significant antibacterial and bactericidal effect. It is an ideal subsitution of some antibiotics. Beijing Challenge Group and Animal Nutrition and Feed Science Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have jointly overcome several technical difficulties and developed a brand-new Challen GOX with stronger temperature resistance and better efficacy in animal intestinal environment. Challenge Group is the first enterprise to promote glucose oxidase in feed and breeding industry. By extensive trials, the product is testified to effectively control bacterial diarrhea in animals, to reduce the harm of feed mycotoxins to animal organisms, and improve animal performance. Challen GOX have been used widely in China, North America, Europe and Southeast Asia etc.

Mode of Action
Glucose oxidase can consume molecular oxygen or atomic oxygen, oxidize glucose, and protect oxidizable components in feed. According to the reaction conditions, there are three forms of Glucose oxidase catalytic reaction :
1 mol of oxygen is consumed when oxidize per 1 mol glucose in the absence of catalase:
C6H12O6+O2→C6H12O7+H2O2；β-D-Glucose+ O2→β-D-Glucose lactone+ H2O2；
1/2 mol of oxygen is consumed when oxidize per 1 mol of glucose in the presence of catalase:
C6H12O6+ 1/2O2→C6H12O7+H2O2；
In the presence of ethanol and catalase, catalase can be used for the oxidation of ethanol. 1 mol of oxygen is consumed when oxidize per 1 mol glucose:
C6H12O6+ C2H5OH+O2→C6H12O7+ CH3CHO +H2O2.
