ABSTRACT

The objective of this study was to make a comparative study of the polyphenol composition, protein and enzyme activity of poly phenol oxidase present in three cultivars of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Gel diffusion assay gave a preliminary insight into the PPO enzyme activities of the three types of tomato. This was later confirmed by the spectrophotometric enzyme assay. Among the three varieties of tomato, cherry tomatoes proved to be the best having the highest activity and polyphenol profile.This research has established the fact that the cherry tomatoes are comparatively better in terms of PPO enzyme activity and the polyphenol composition. Keywords: Polyphenol, Protein, Enzyme, Gel diffusion
