Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new polypeptide regarding to caroase 01-05 or any functional equivalent thereof, suitable for use in a method for preparing a food product having increased whiteness, to provide a use of the enzyme to increase whiteness of at least part of a food product, to provide the method for preparing a food product wherein the enzyme is used, and to provide the food product thus obtained.SOLUTION: The new polypeptide is an isolated polypeptide derived from Marasmius scorodonius of genus Marasmius and affording improvement of whiteness of at least part of a food product. A method for producing the polypeptide by using host cell such as Aspergillus niger, wherein the polypeptide has the ability of cleaving carotenoids, is also provided.
