Taro corms are highly perishable owing to their high moisture content. Processing removes the water which reduces the bulk and also increases their storage life. The method of processing‚ ranging from simple boiling to elaborate fermentation‚ drying and grinding to make flour may vary depending on the varieties of roots and tubers. The taro flour production from fresh tuber soon after harvest serves as an effective procedure against storage loss. Converting fresh edible tubers to flours will avoid

Carbohydrate when heated results to a complex group of reactions in absence of nitrogen containing compounds. Such reaction is commonly known as caramelization. Sugars will show caramelization to a relatively high temperature. The browning of these carbohydrates is further facilitated by the presence of small amount of acid‚ salts of this acids‚ phosphates and metallic ions. Lack of moisture in the sugar molecule with formation of anhydro rings are actually caused by thermolysis. When double bonds

He reported

As mentioned before‚ browning in bananas is an enzymatic process where enzymes such as polyphenol oxidase serve as catalysts in the oxidation of several phenolic compounds. In this experiment however‚ the only reaction being tested is the oxidation of catechol (a diphenol) by the enzyme catalyst catechol oxidase or polyphenol oxidase‚ which initiates a chain of reactions and eventually triggers the formation of brown pigments known as catechol-melanins. Catechol‚ also called 1‚2-dihydroxybenzene

an area in which a material to be acted on by the enzyme‚ called the substrate‚ will fit. The temperature‚pH‚ the concentration of enzyme‚ and the concentration of substrate all affect the activity of the enzyme and the rate of the reaction. The browning of potatoes when they are peeled is caused by catecholase‚ an enzyme‚ as it facilitates a reaction between between catechol and oxygen. In this reaction‚ oxygen’s electronegativity separates 2 hydrogen atoms from catechol‚ oxidizing it and therefore

May 22‚ 2009 ABSTRACT Phenolic compounds of pomegranate juice‚ which are responsible for haze formation and browning during storage‚ could be selectively removed by combined enzyme-ultrafiltration process. The pomegranate juice was treated with Fomes fomentarius laccase at various enzyme concentrations (0.5–5 U/ mL)‚ temperatures (20–50C) and times (30–300 min). The effect of these enzymatic treatments on total phenol content and clarity of the juice were evaluated using a central composite design

egg white is oxidised‚ and the egg white is dried for use in baking. Other applications of these enzyme pairs are in (i) removal of O2 from the air present in the head space of bottled and canned drinks‚ and (ii) reduction of non enzymic browning in wines and mayonnaises. Enzymes in Food Industry Enzymes are produced by all living cells as catalysts for specific chemical reactions. Not surprisingly enzymes are present in all foods at some time‚ and play an increasingly important role
