Effect of processing on the residual activity of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase in sweet potato juice.
Process | Polyphenol oxidase residual activity (%) | Peroxidase residual activity (%) |
---|---|---|
Control | 100.0 ± 00a | 100.0 ± 00a |
Ultrasound | 98.7 ± 3.2a | 97.8 ± 3.0a |
Steam | 108.4 ± 6.4b | 108.1 ± 7.8b |
Steam + Ultrasound | 92.0 ± 5.1a | 104.5 ± 7.9ab |
Mean ± standard deviation followed by different superscript letter in the same column indicate that values are significantly different (p < 0.05.) by Tukey's test.
