FITC-casein hydrolysis was determined by incubating extracts from 30-month-old tubers at 37°C (60 min) with or without inhibitors. Inhibitors included heat-treated (95°C, 10 min) or nonheated crude extract (160 μg of protein equivalents) and PMC (65 μg of protein equivalents) from 6-month-old tubers. lsd0.05 = 15.8 units mg−1 protein h−1.
