Is Lipoxygenase vegetarian?

Lipoxygenase is a plant-derived enzyme that catalyses the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, playing a role in the production of flavour compounds and in lipid metabolism. It is most commonly obtained from soybeans and other cereals.

An ingredient is considered vegetarian if it avoids components derived from killing an animal.
