Polyphenoloxidase from Amasya Apple

Abstract: Polyphenoloxidase (PPO) of Amasya apple was partially purified by (NH&SO, precipitation and dialysis. The sample was used for characterization of the PPO. Optimum pH were 7.0, 9.0, 8.6 and 6.6 on substrates catechol, 4-methyl catechol, pyrogallol and L-dopa respectively. Catechol was the most suitable for Amasya apple PPO. The optimum temperature for maximum PPO activity was 18°C with catechol. Of seven inhibitors tested, the strongest was L-cysteine. Effectiveness of inhibitors increased in the order: thioure… Show more

“…Tukey's test showed no significant change in the enzyme activity during the 15 days of storage at pH 6.0, 7.5, and 8.0, respectively, leading to the conclusion that PPO was stable in a pH range of 6.0-8.0. PPO activity in Amasya apple was highest at pH 7.0 and 9.0, on the substrates cathecol and 4-methylcathecol, respectively (Oktay et al, 1995). This variation in pH in relation to maximum activities of polyphenoloxidases showed the presence of different isozymes with distinctive kinetic properties.…”

“…The optimum temperature of 18 o C of the litchi enzyme was similar to that of the Amasya apple PPO (Oktay et al, 1995), and rather different from the 35 and 50 o C found for Anna apple and strawberry, respectively (Serradell et al, 2000). However, Yue-Ming et al (1997) reported that the enzyme in litchi fruit cv.…”

“…Adaptado de Oktay et al (1995). O pó-deproteína (2,5 g) foi homogeneizado com 100 mL de tampão Mcllvaine (ácido cítrico e Na 2 HPO 4 -Merck, Darmstadt, Alemanha) em pH = 6,2, contendo 3,3 g de polivinilpirrolidona (PVP, Sigma-Aldrich, Steinhelm, Alemanha) e 1,0 M de KCl (Synth, Diadema-SP, Brasil) sob agitação em shaker, por 20 min.…”

“…Com L-dopa os valores foram de 25,0mM para o K m e de 180,2U/min/mL para V max (Figura 6). A afinidade da PPO pelo substrato, é dependente da origem da enzima (tipo de planta), como foi observado por VAMOS-VIGYÁZÓ [37], WESCHE-EBELING & MONTGOMERY [34,35] e OKTAY et al [31]. …”
