Peas (Pisum sativum) are an important constituent in the diet of many people. Peas may be cooked and eaten as green peas shortly after harvest, stored for short periods in the pods, or, after suitable treatment, store ...

Prerigor pressurization of bovine semimembranosus muscle at 103.5 MNm⁻² (15,000 psi) for two min at 35°C significantly decreased (P<0.01) muscle pH, and significantly (P<0.01) increased the rate of glycogen degradatio ...

Substrate and inhibitor specificities have been used to classify esterases. The purpose of this work was to determine the substrate and inhibitor specificities of the esterases in an aquous extract of lyophilyzed carr ...

Inhibition of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) by sulfur dioxide (SO₂) was studied using three different sources of PPO (banana, mushroom, and pear). Several methods to detect PPO activity were tested due to SO₂, interference ...

Esterase activity of an aqueous extract of the green bean was separated into fourteen bands, while aqueous extracted pea esterases revealed seven bands, by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The fourteen bands of bea ...

Stability, substrate and inhibitor specificity and electrophoretic properties of a crude polyphenol oxidase (PPO) preparation extracted from d'Anjou pears (Pyrus communis L.) were investigated. Levels of polyvinylpyrr ...

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from strawberries was purified, partially characterized, and used to study its role in the degradation of anthocyanin pigments. The extraction method included the use of a buffered solution co ...

Although esterases have been reported in peas, their properties have not been studied. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the substrate and inhibitor specificity of the esterases present in a water ext ...
