Abstract: Browning formed easily in sweet potato production. This article made a research on the activities of Polyphenol Oxidase of sweet potato on different tissue by spectrophotometry , including its optimum pH, temperature, stability to heat, and so on. The results indicated its optimum pH range was 3.0~3.5 and 6.0~7.0,and the optimum temperature 15℃.At the same time, the browning inhibitory effect whera the Ascorbic Acid, Crtric Acid and Sodium Sulfite showed on Polyphenol Oxidase was also studied.

Key words: Sweet potato Polyphenol Oxidase Browning
