Catalse Test Catalase (also known as peroxidase) is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water.
In this lab, you will study an enzyme that is found in the cells of many living tissues. The name of the enzyme is catalase (KAT-uh-LAYSS); it speeds up a reaction which breaks down hydrogen peroxide, a toxic chemical, into 2 harmless substances--water and oxygen.atalase is present in many kinds of living tissues. You will now test for the presence of catalase in tissues other than liver. 1  Place 2 ml of hydrogen peroxide in each of 3 clean test tubes. 2  To the first tube, add a small piece of potato. 3  To the second tube, add a small piece of chicken.
