Resumo
A família das anonáceas é composta por muitos gêneros e espécies; dentre essas, a atemóia (Annona cherimola Mill. X Annona squamosa L.), resultante do cruzamento entre a fruta-do-conde (Annona squamosa L.) e a cherimóia (Annona cherimola Mill.). No Brasil, a atemóia vem despertando grande interesse na produção/comercialização dos seus frutos; no entanto um dos obstáculos enfrentados é a facilidade de escurecimento enzimático que a fruta apresenta. Esse tem como responsável a polifenoloxidase (PPO, E.C. 1.14.18.1); que sob diferentes condições de armazenamento e processamento de vegetais na sua fase póscolheita pode atuar sob substratos naturais e resultar na formação de compostos escuros, acarretando diminuição do valor nutricional, modificação das propriedades organolépticas e sensoriais, com consequente rejeição. Os objetivos desse trabalho foram isolar, purificar e caracterizar algumas propriedades da polifenoloxidase de atemóia. Condições de extração para a PPO foram estabelecidas e a enzima foi isolada por precipitação com sulfato de amônio e eluição em Sephadex G-100. Somente um pico de atividade foi eluído no processo de purificação com um fator de purificação de 7,12. O peso molecular determinado foi 82 kDa com valores ótimos de pH 6,0 e 7,0 para 4-metil catecol e catecol, respectivamente; sendo estável por 12 e 24 horas à incubação na faixa de pH 4,0-8,0. A temperatura ótima de atividade foi 35°C e 28°C para 4-metil catecol e catecol, respectivamente. Os valores calculados de energia de ativação (Ea) para esses substratos foram 87,29 cal/mol-1 e 180,97 cal/mol-1. As constantes cinéticas Km e Vmax foram 5,52mmol/L e 1428,57 UA/mL, para 4-metil catecol, e 79,3 mmol/L e 5000 UA/mL, para catecol. A relação Km/Vmax determinou uma maior afinidade da enzima pelo primeiro substrato. A enzima mostrou desprezível atividade...
The family of annonaceae is composed of many genus and species, among these, the atemoya (Annona cherimola Mill. X Annona squamosa L.), resulting from a cross between custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) and cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill.). In Brazil, the atemoya is attracting great interest in the production / marketing of its fruits, however one of the obstacles faced is the ease of enzymatic browning that gives the fruit. This is as responsible for polyphenoloxidase (PPO, EC 1.14.18.1), which under different conditions of storage and processing plant in its post-harvest can act on natural substrates and result in the formation of dark compounds, causing decrease in nutritional value, modification of the organoleptic and sensory properties, with consequent rejection. The objectives of this study were to isolate, purify and characterize some properties of polyphenoloxidase from atemoya. Conditions for the extraction of PPO were established and the enzyme was isolated by precipitation with ammonium sulfate and elution on Sephadex G-100. Only one peak of activity was eluted in the process of purification with a purification factor of 7.12. The molecular weight of 82 kDa was determined with the optimum values of pH 6.0 and 7.0 for 4-methylcatechol and catechol, respectively. The enzyme was stable for 12 and 24 hours incubation in the pH range 4.0-8.0. The optimum temperatures for activity were 35 °C and 28 °C for 4-methylcatechol and catechol, respectively. The values of activation energy (Ea) for these substrates cal/mol-1 were 87.29 and 180.97 cal/mol-1. The kinetic constants Km and Vmax were 5.52 mmol/L and 1428.57 UA/mL for 4-methylcatechol, and 79.3 mmol/L and 5000 AU / mL for catechol. The Km/Vmax determined a higher affinity of the enzyme by the first substrate. The enzyme showed negligible activity for caffeic acid and chlorogenic as any for L-DOPA, catechin...
