β-Galactosidase Activity in Saliva is Associated with Oral Malodor

Deglycosylation of oral mucins may be a critical initial step leading to their subsequent proteolysis and putrefaction. The present study was undertaken to determine whether activity in saliva of a major glycosidic enzyme (β–galactosidase) is associated with oral malodor in a group of 64 subjects. E...
