Creator:

Smith, Denise Myrtle

Abstract:

Using phenolic scavengers different methods were examined to determine the optimum conditions for extracting polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from d'Anjou pears. Efficiency of the extraction was evaluated based on browning of the extract, PPO activity per g of pear tissue, absorption scan of 410 nm to -240 nm, and the isozyme...
