Abstract

Extracts of the soluble and ionic-bound peroxidases were prepared from tangerine (Citrus deliciosa) pulp and peel and submitted to heat treatments at 60ºC, 65ºC and 70ºC during a period of 0 to 10 minutes for the study of the peroxidase enzymatic activity. Ion exchange chromatography (DEAE-Sepharose) was carried out in the soluble fraction of the peel to isolate cationic and anionic iso-enzymes. Separation was confirmed by electrophoresis. Two anionic and two cationic iso-enzymes were found in the soluble fraction of peel. Enzyme activity showed itself to be non-linear with increase of temperature.
