Reduction of α-Amylase by an Inhibitor from Carob 1

PMCID: PMC550514  PMID: 16656394

Abstract

Inhibitor C, one of the inhibitory fractions of the extract of Carob fruit, reduces the amount of α-amylase in the culture medium of endosperm halves of barley seed which have been treated with gibberellic acid as compared with seed halves treated with gibberellic acid alone. A similar reduction is found in the α-amylase produced by embryo halves of barley seed which have not been treated with gibberellic acid.
