Abstract: The paper mainly researched the prop erties of polyphenoloxidase extracted fromlettuce.It studied the PPOactivities with catechol as substrate in different pH,temperature,enzyme concertrations,substrate c oncer-trations and inhibitors.The results showed that there existed two kinds of isoenzymes in lettuce PPO with its opti-mumpHandtemperature as 5,7and50℃,respectively and the Kmand max as 7.125×10 -3 mol /L,1.4625×10 -2 U /min,respectively.The orders of i nhibition effects fromstrong to wea k were fromNaHSO 3 ?PA?VC to EDTA.
