polyphenol oxidase (ppo) from tomatoes was extracted and partially purified through  (nh4)2so4 precipitation, dialysis and ion exchange chromatography. the activity of polyphenol oxidase was investigated in solanum lycopersicum. spectrophotometric method was used to assay the enzyme activity and the kinetic constants - maximum enzyme velocity (vmax) and michealis - menten constant (km). of the substrates tested,  pyrogallol was the best substrate for ppo with a km  value  of 1.5 mm. the optimum  ph for ppo activity  was  found to be 6.8. the enzyme showed high activity over a broad  ph range  of 4 - 8. the optimal  ph and  temperature for enzyme activity  were  found  to be  6.8 and 50-60 °c, respectively. km value for tomatoe ppo is calculated 25 mm for catechol and 1.5 mm for pyrogallol and 8.5 mm for l-dopa. as can be seen, affinity of ppos for various  substrates varies widely. the enzyme showed a broad activity over a broad ph and  temperature range. the thermal inactivation studies showed that the enzyme  is heat resistant. the enzyme showed the highest  activity  toward  pyrogallol and no activity toward tyrosine. of  the  inhibitors  tested,  the  most potent  inhibitors was  sodium  kojic acid

Partial Purification and Characterisation of Polyphenol Oxidase from Tomatoes (Solanum Lycopersicum)

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from tomatoes was extracted and partially purified through  (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, dialysis and ion exchange chromatography. The activity of polyphenol oxidase was investigated in solanum lycopersicum. Spectrophotometric method was used to assay the enzyme activity and the kinetic constants - maximum enzyme velocity (Vmax) and Michealis - Menten constant (Km). Of the ...

Effect of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate on Partial Purified Polyphenol Oxidase Activity in Red and Green Tomatoes (Solanum Lycopersicum)

In order to better understand how to prevent enzymatic greenning, it is important to understand  kinetic properties of polyphenol oxidase.  we investigated the effect of SDS on the rate of catechol oxidation by small cherry tomato partial purified PPO. PPO activity increased with increasing SDS concentration. The most effective concentration of SDS was 0.8, 1 and 1.25 mM in according to pH and ...

Purification and Characterization of Polyphenol Oxidase from Glandular Trichomes of Solanum berthaultii.

Type A glandular trichomes of the wild potato (Solanum berthaultii Hawkes) entrap insects by rapidly polymerizing the trichome contents after breakage by insect contact. Polymerization of trichome exudate appears to be driven by a soluble polyphenol oxidase (PPO). PPO constitutes up to 70% of the protein in individually collected trichomes and reaches a concentration approaching 200 mum in thes...
