Temperature does affect enzymatic function - temperature affects the "active site" of the enzyme and so the substrate cannot bind to it anymore (process is called denaturation)

What are the factors that influence non-enzymatic browning?
factors that influence non enzymatic browning
Types of browning reaction?
non enzymatic and enzymatic
what are the effects of enzymatic browning on fruits and vegetables' sensory qualities?
[object Object]
What causes enzymatic browning?
in plants, these enzymes are more commonly called phenoloxidases(PPO)
What temperatures are best for enzymatic reaction?
35 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius
How sugar affect the browning of apples?
Browning of apples is due to the creation of brown pigments through enzymatic polymerization of polyphenolic (normally colorless) apple compounds.
What is the connection between maraschino cherries and sulfur dioxide?
Sulfur dioxide is a chemical that can be added to cherries and other fruit to prevent browning. In very small amounts, it can inhibits enzymatic browning of polyphenoloxidase, and enzyme responsible for fruit browning.
What chemicals are in the browning apple?
browning is due to oxygen, O2, reacting with chemicals released, breaking down the cells in the fruit. The reaction is called enzymatic oxidation as it is a process catalysed by the enzymes present in the apples
When can refrigeration not applicable to preserve sample for enzymatic assay?
Refrigeration is not applicable to preserve sample for enzymatic assay because enzymes may lose their activity at extremely low temperatures as well. This may account for storing enzymes at 5° C or below without affecting the enzymatic activity permanently. (Anubhav, 2012)
Can sugar prevent apples from browning?
Coating freshly cut apples in sugar or syrup can reduce oxygen diffusion and thus slow the browning reaction. Lemon or pineapple juices, both of which naturally contain antioxidants, can be used to coat apple slices and slow enzymatic browning
How do you prevent enzymatic browning in fruits?
Enzymatic browning causes the browning in fruits, (turning pigments brown). As when you cut an apple, or drop and apple; damaging cells. Polyphenol oxidase(tyrosinase) is released by the damaged cells and it oxidizes naturally occurring phenols to guinones.
What is the scientific name for natural fruit browning?
The scientific name for natural fruit browning is enzymatic browning. It is a chemical reaction that occurs when fruit is cut or damaged, causing an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase (PPO) to come into contact with oxygen in the air and produce brown-colored pigments.
