Abstract

The lipase and phospholipase activities of meals of resting seeds of C. roxburghianum were studied at different temperatures, solvents and pH. Both the enzymes showed the maximum activities at $40^{\circ}C$ and in n-heptane used as solvent. However, lipase showed maximum activities at two different pH, one at pH 5 (acidic) and other at pH 8 (alkaline) whereas phospholipase showed only one pH optimum at pH 8. During the course of germination, the lipase showed an increase whereas reverse was the case with phospholipase.
