Abstract

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was extracted from lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) root and partially purified up to 11.51 with a 43.6 yield using aqueous two-phase separation system. The optimum pH was at 8.0 for both substrates; 4-methylcatechol and pyrogallol. PPO activities were maximally achieved at 50C for pyrogallol and 20C for 4-methylcatechol. 84 and 71 loss of relative PPO activities were obtained for pyrogallol and 4-methylcatechol respectively following heat inactivation at 90C for 40 min. Inactivation rate constant (k) values ranged between 0.88 10- min- to 2.97 10- min- for pyrogallol and 0.69 10- min- to 2.44 10- min- for 4-methylcatechol. The activation energy (Ea) were 75.32 kJ mol- and 73.14 kJ mol- for pyrogallol and 4-methylcatechol respectively. PPO activity was strongly inhibited ( 79) by ascorbic acid. SDS exhibited the greatest efficiency in activating lotus root PPO.
