## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Two hard wheat varieties and one soft variety grown under the same agroecological conditions were analyzed for their physical and uniaxial stress–strain compression properties. **RESULTS:** The physical properties of wheat kernel were determined at a moisture content of

Abstract
o‐Diphenolase extracted from Triticum aestivum (cv. Nettuno) and purified in various steps gave a 250‐fold purification over the crude extract. This purified enzyme showed maximum relative activity towards 4‐methylcatechol, generally high or moderate activity towards di‐ and polyphenols, and very low activity towards monophenols. Total activity, determined at each step of purification, showed that treatment with ammonium sulphate and calcium phosphate gel gave rise to an activation of o‐diphenolase, thus revealing a latency of enzymatic activity. In the pH profile activity towards 4‐methylcatechol two optima at pH 5.3 and 6.9 were observed.
