โฆ Synopsis
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of รltered extract of ground mango kernel suspension (400 g litre~1) was studied spectrophotometrically at 420 nm using catechol as substrate. The enzyme was most active at pH 6ร0 and 25ยกC. Activity was reduced by 50% at pH values of 5ร0 and 7ร1, and also at temperatures of 14ยกC and 30ยกC. The calculated activation energy and the Michaelis constant were 21ร4 kcal mol~1 ยกC~1 and 24ร6 mM, respectively. The (K m ) V max value was 2ร14 units g~1 mango kernel. The time to heat inactivate PPO decreased rapidly to \10 min with increasing temperature of P70ยกC at 50% activity.
