Abstract

Crude enzyme of polyphenol oxidase was obtained from garlic. This enzyme actively oxidized triphenols such as pyrogallol and gallic acid, although it showed very weak activity on diphenols such as catechol and chlorogenic acid among the phenolic compounds tested. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 6.5 which was slightly higher than that of the garlic itself (pH 6.0). The enzyme was stable relatively at heat treatment. Sodium metabisulfite inhibited the enzyme activity at the concentration of 1mM, and KCN, L-ascorbic acid and thiourea also inhibited the enzyme action. $Mg^{++}$ activated the enzyme activity. $Cu^{++}$ activated slightly the enzyme action at low concentration (1mM), but inhibited at high concentration (10mM).

마늘의 갈변현상중(褐變現象中) 효소적(酵素的) 갈변(褐變)에 관여(關與)하는 polyphenol oxidase 조효소액(粗酵素液)을 추출(抽出)하여 그 성질(性質)을 몇가지 조사(調査)하였다. 기질(基質)로서는 여러 phenol화합물(化合物)들을 사용(使用)해 본 결과(結果), diphenol류(類)와 monophenol류(類)는 거의 갈변(褐變)되지 않았으나 triphenol인 pyrogallol, gallic acid는 크게 갈변(褐變)되는 것으로 보아 마늘의 polyphenol oxidase는 triphenol oxidase로 보인다. 이 효소의 최적(最適) pH는 6.5 부근으로 약산성측(弱酸性側)에 있었으며 열안정성(熱安定性)은 $80^{\circ}C$, 5분(分) 가열(加熱)로 90%의 잔존율(殘存率)을 보여 열(熱)에 매우 안정(安定)하였다. Na-metabisulfite는 1mM의 농도(濃度)에서 안전(完全)한 조해(阻害)를 하였고, potassium cyanide, L-ascorbic acid, thiourea순(順)으로 효소활성(酵素活性)을 조해(阻害)하였다. $Mg^{2+}$는 효소활성(酵素活性)을 증가(增加)시켰고 $Cu^{2+}$는 저농도(低濃度)(1mM)에서는 polyphenol oxidase가 활성화(活性化)하는데 비(比)해 고농도(高濃度)(10mM)에서는 조해작용(阻害作用)을 하였다. 마늘의 polyphenol oxidase의 Km치(値)는 0.4mM이었다.
