ABSTRACT OF THESIS CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYPHENOL OXIDASE AND ANTIOXIDANTS FROM PAWPAW (ASIMINA TRIBOLA) FRUIT Crude polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was extracted from pawpaw (Asimina triloba) fruit. The enzyme exhibited a maximum activity at pH 6.5–7.0 and 5–20 °C, and had -1 a maximum catalysis rate (Vmax) of 0.1363 s and a reaction constant (Km) of 0.3266 M. It was almost completely inactivated when incubated at 80 °C for 10 min. Two isoforms of PPO (MW 28.2 and 38.3 kDa) were identified by Sephadex gel filtration chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both the concentration and the total activity of the two isoforms differed (P < 0.05) between seven genotypes of pawpaw tested. Thermal stability (92 °C, 1–5 min) and colorimetry (L* a* b*) analyses showed significant variations between genotypes.

  • 3. Methodology
    3. METHODOLOGY The present study focused on the responses evoked by B. monnieri under conditions of oxidative stress. The plan of work and the methodology adopted are presented in this chapter. The work was carried out in four phases. In Phase I, different parts of B. monnieri , namely leaves, stolon and roots, were assessed for their antioxidant potential and free radical scavenging activity. The biomolecular protective effects and the apoptosis- modulating effects of the leaf extract in cell free and in vitro systems were studied in Phase II. Phase III involved assessing the antioxidant status in precision-cut liver slices exposed to oxidative stress and confirming the results in experimental animals. In the final phase of the study, phytochemical analysis of the active component in B. monnieri leaves was carried out. The layout of the study is presented below. PHASE I In this phase, the antioxidant status in different parts of B. monnieri was assessed. The leaves, stolon and roots of the plantlets were collected from the plants grown in pots in the University campus. They were washed thoroughly in running tap water in order to remove any dirt or soil particles adhered and blotted gently between folds of tissue paper to remove any water droplets. Both enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants were analysed in all the three parts of the plant. ENZYMIC ANTIOXIDANTS The enzymic antioxidants analyzed in the parts of B. monnieri w ere superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase and polyphenol oxidase.

  • Polyphenol Oxidases in Plants and Fungi: Going Places? a Review
    PHYTOCHEMISTRY Phytochemistry 67 (2006) 2318–2331 www.elsevier.com/locate/phytochem Review Polyphenol oxidases in plants and fungi: Going places? A review Alfred M. Mayer Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem 91904, Israel Received 3 June 2006; received in revised form 22 July 2006 Available online 14 September 2006 Abstract The more recent reports on polyphenol oxidase in plants and fungi are reviewed. The main aspects considered are the structure, dis- tribution, location and properties of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) as well as newly discovered inhibitors of the enzyme. Particular stress is given to the possible function of the enzyme. The cloning and characterization of a large number of PPOs is surveyed. Although the active site of the enzyme is conserved, the amino acid sequence shows very considerable variability among species. Most plants and fungi PPO have multiple forms of PPO. Expression of the genes coding for the enzyme is tissue specific and also developmentally controlled. Many inhibitors of PPO have been described, which belong to very diverse chemical structures; however, their usefulness for controlling PPO activity remains in doubt. The function of PPO still remains enigmatic. In plants the positive correlation between levels of PPO and the resistance to pathogens and herbivores is frequently observed, but convincing proof of a causal relationship, in most cases, still has not been published. Evidence for the induction of PPO in plants, particularly under conditions of stress and pathogen attack is consid- ered, including the role of jasmonate in the induction process. A clear role of PPO in a least two biosynthetic processes has been clearly demonstrated.

This has a negative impact on the colour, flavour, nutritional properties and shelf life of food products. Browning is usually caused by polyphenol oxidases (PPOs), following cell damage caused by senescence, wounding and the attack of pests and pathogens. Several studies indicated that PPOs play a role in plant immunity, and emerging evidence suggested that PPOs might also be involved in other physiological processes. Genomic investigations ultimately led to the isolation of PPO homologs in several crops, which will be possibly characterized at the functional level in the near future.

In vitro several mechanisms of EGCG cytotoxicity have been examined; however potential mechanisms of in vivo toxicity remain understudied. Additionally factors that can potentiate EGCG induced hepatotoxicity, such as pre-existing physiological conditions that attenuate liver function have not been investigated. With the lack of data to support an association between dietary supplements and liver toxicity, I hypothesized that dietary pretreatment with EGCG markedly decreases EGCG bioavailability and can potentially mitigate the toxic potential of EGCG, and that ORFLD increases susceptibility to high dose EGCG-mediated hepatotoxicity.

Received: 19 November 2009; in revised form: 19 December 2009 / Accepted: 24 December 2009 / Published: 28 December 2009 Abstract: This review will discuss recent progress in the chemistry of secondary polyphenols produced during food processing. The production mechanism of the secondary polyphenols in black tea, whisky, cinnamon, and persimmon fruits will be introduced. In the process of black tea production, tea leaf catechins are enzymatically oxidized to yield a complex mixture of oxidation products, including theaflavins and thearubigins. Despite the importance of the beverage, most of the chemical constituents have not yet been confirmed due to the complexity of the mixture. However, the reaction mechanisms at the initial stages of catechin oxidation are explained by simple quinone–phenol coupling reactions. In vitro model experiments indicated the presence of interesting regio- and stereoselective reactions. Recent results on the reaction mechanisms will be introduced. During the aging of whisky in oak wood barrels, ellagitannins originating from oak wood are oxidized and react with ethanol to give characteristic secondary ellagitannins.

  • Inhibition of Oxidative and Antioxidative Enzymes by Trans-Resveratrol X
    JFS: Food Chemistry and Toxicology Inhibition of Oxidative and Antioxidative Enzymes by Trans-Resveratrol X. FAN AND J.P. MATTHEIS Food Chemistry and Toxicology ABSTRACT: Trans-resveratrol, a phytoalexin produced by a variety of plants, has been shown to inhibit oxidative enzymes in an animal cell system. Its effect on several oxidative and antioxidative enzymes from plants was investigated using in vitro assays. Trans-resveratrol inhibited superoxide dismutase, lipoxygenase, catalase, peroxi- dase, polyphenol oxidase, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase with apparent KI’s of 10, 90, 100, 255, 305, and 350 mM, respectively. Trans-resveratrol inhibited lipoxygenase activity more effectively than other lipoxygenase inhibitors, including propyl gallate, ibuprofen, ursolic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, and salicylhydroxamic acid. Key Words: trans-resveratrol, superoxide dismutase, lipoxygenase, catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase.
