Estudo das atividades de peroxidades e polifenoloxidase de guariroba (Syagrus oleracea Becc) sob a ação de diferentes inibidores

Resumo

In this work the guariroba (Syagrus oleracea, Becc) was submitted to treatment with solutions containing peroxidase (POX) and poliphenoloxidase (PPO) inhibitors. Guariroba slices were immersed in 0.5, 0.8 and 1.0 % (p/v) citric acid, lactic acid and sodium bisulfite solutions, for 10, 15 and 20 minutes. The phenol contents and the enzymatic activities of POX and PPO were measured before and after treatment with the inhibitor solutions, as well as solution pH. The best results for both enzymatic inhibition and phenol content were obtained when the guariroba slices were treated with 1.0 % lactic acid solution for 10 minutes.
