?STUDIES ON THE PROTEOLYTIC ACTIVITY OF PAPAYA JUICE ?
Keywords:
Papaya juice, Plant proteases, Proteolytic activity, Activating agents.Abstract
The activity of proteases in crude papaya juice Carrica papaya was studied by using casein as a substrate. The activity
of enzyme in papaya juice was optimum at pH 8.0 and temperature 80-85°C. The crude juice was heat stable and
exhibited about 8-10 fold increase in activity at 85°C. Cysteine hydrochloride and sodium cyanide showed a marked
activating effect at optimum temperature.
