polyphenol oxidase/potato

Potato peel from food industrial waste is a good source of polyphenol oxidase (PPO). This work illustrates the application of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) for the extraction and purification of PPO from potato peel. ATPS was composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and potassium phosphate buffer.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of microwave cold plasma (CP) treatment on inactivation of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) of potato. The PPO activity and treatment variables were fit to first-order kinetics, the Weibull model, and the second-order model. The optimum CP-generation power and

The activity of potato polyphenol oxidase (tyrosinase) toward DL-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (K(M) 5.39 mM) was studied using a variety of carboxylate buffers at a common pH and ionic strength. Enzyme activity, greatest in citrate and least in oxalate, correlated with increasing carboxyl

Potato polyphenol oxidase activity was strongly and noncompetitively inhibited by the "Perov mixture" of coal tar components and by pyridine alone, while phenol competitively inhibited the enzyme. These two inhibitors are structural components of the parkinsonogenic neurotoxin

In the literature, the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme has been purified a many times via Sepharose 4B-l-tyrosine-p-aminobenzoic acid affinity column. In order to study PPO purification efficiency, 2-aminophenol and 4-aminophenol were applied as a spacer arm to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B. The

Two potato genotypes resistant to the Colorado potato beetle (CPB) and three susceptible genotypes were used to investigate the role of total foliar polyphenol oxidase (PPO) on the performance of CPB larvae in long-term feeding assays. A significant positive correlation was found between larval

In this study, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was extracted from commercial potatoes. Degradation of pentachlorophenol by potato PPO was investigated. The experimental results show that potato PPO is more active in weak acid than in basic condition and that the optimum pH for the reaction is 5.0. The

We purified and compared the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) isoenzymes present in "Xushu 22," a sweet potato. A membrane-bound form (mPPO) and two soluble forms (sPPO1 and sPPO2) were identified and purified using ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography,

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) has multiple functions, and the lack of commercially available enzyme sources limits its widespread application in various industries. An accurate PPO assay was developed by HPLC determination of the substrate oxidation. Resources screening indicated that sweet potato

Enzymatic browning is a major quality issue in fruit and vegetable processing and can be counteracted by different natural inhibitors. Often, model systems containing a single polyphenol oxidase (PPO) are used to screen for new inhibitors. To investigate the impact of the source of PPO on the

The extraction conditions of rice bran extract (RBE), including extraction ratio, extraction time, and extraction temperature, were studied in relation to enzymatic browning inhibition in potato. The inhibitory effect of RBE on potato polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and its total phenolic compound

Conventional three phase partitioning (TPP) and ultrasound assisted three phase partitioning (UATPP) were optimized for achieving the maximum extraction and purification of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from waste potato peels. Different process parameters such as ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4

In order to elucidate the nature of the response of potato to impact injury at the biochemical level, changes in the location of the enzyme responsible for the discoloration, polyphenol oxidase, were determined using immunogold location with an antibody specific for potato tuber polyphenol oxidase.

It is of great importance and interest to develop crop varieties with low polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity for the food industry because PPO-mediated oxidative browning is a main cause of post-harvest deterioration and quality loss of fresh produce and processed foods. We recently demonstrated that
