Abstract:

Crude polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in Pingguoli pear fruits was prepared through sequential steps of homogenization followed by extraction with acetone. The single inhibitory effects of glutathione, cysteine and sodium sulfite against the enzyme were evaluated according to residue enzyme activity. Subsequently, to obtain the optimal inhibitory effect, the above inhibitors were compounded and the optimal formulation was investigated using orthogonal array design. Results showed that glutathione exhibited a good inhibitory effect against this enzyme with half-inhibitory concentration of 300μmol/L and maximal inhibitory concentration of 500 μ mol/L, which was stronger than that of other two inhibitors.

Key words: Pingguoli pear, polyphenol oidase, inhibitor
