“…The literature reports many enzymes and probably more than one pathway involved in this process. Amylases (2,3), glucosidases (2,4), phosphorylases (5,6), sucrose-phosphate synthase (7), and sucrose synthase (1,8) participate in the starch breakdown and sucrose synthesis during banana ripening. Amylases, glucosidases, and phosphorylases act differently on the same substrate, producing a mixture of oligosaccharides and soluble sugars that make the individual enzyme analysis inaccurate.…”

“…As enzimas desramificadoras, que atuam nas ligações α-1,6, podem liberar maltotriose, maltose e outros oligossacarídeos, fornecendo substratos para a atuação de outras enzimas, até açúcares solúveis, com geração de energia para a manutenção do fruto. Durante o amadurecimento da banana, as α e β-amilases [1,22], as fosforilases [18] e as α-1,4 e α-1,6-glicosidases [3,11] têm aumento de atividade, concomitante com a degradação do amido. Apesar de existirem evidências de que as amilases iniciam a degradação do amido da banana [12], as fosforilases não podem ser ainda descartadas, porque praticamente não existem trabalhos focalizando o assunto.…”
