Enzyme Activity in Fruits and Vegetables
Produced by Science & Plants for Schools (SAPS), these materials give a range of suggested activities that investigate enzyme activity in ripening fruit. These include:
• the changes in enzyme activity during ripening and storage
• the activity of the same enzyme in different species
• the loss of an enzyme substrate (such as pectin or starch) during the ripening process
• the appearance of an enzyme product (such as glucose or galactose) during the ripening process
Methods for measuring enzyme activity are detailed for:
• Pectinase
• Cellulase
• Polygalacturonase
• Polyphenoloxidase
• Protease
