Latent polyphenol oxidases from sago log (Metroxylon sagu): partial purification, activation, and some properties

Latent polyphenol oxidase (LPPO), an enzyme responsible for the browning reaction of sago starches during processing and storage, was investigated. The enzyme was effectively extracted and partially purified from the pith using combinations of nonionic detergents. With Triton X-114 and a temperature...
