The results of the present study also suggest
that isolated L-asparaginase may prove to be a
promising agent and requires further investigation of
its potential anti-leukaemic activity. Asparaginase also
find application in food manufacturing companies as it
is used to reduce asparagine present in food and
thereby, reduce the risk of formation of acrylamide
(Olempska-Beer, 2006). Acrylamide is formed as a
reaction product between asparagine and reducing
sugars when certain foods are baked or fried at
temperatures exceeding 120oC ( Luning et al, 2006).
