Gene Expression and Enzyme Kinetics of Polyphenol Oxidases in Strawberry and Their Possible Involvement in Enzymatic Browning Reactions in Strawberry Nectar by Alberto Zavarise, Ibrahim Rabeeah, Christian Molitor, Mahboubeh Davoudi Pahnekolayi, Viktoria Gruber-Schmidt, Andrea Winter, Klaus Olbricht, Christian Haselmair-Gosch, Karl Stich, Manfred Goessinger, Heidi Halbwirth

“…The gene expression of the four PPOs did not correlate with the color stability of the nectars of the 10 varieties and also showed a random expression pattern during fruit development. The limited activity in acidic conditions and the low substrate specificity for pelargonidin does not point to a crucial role for PPOs in the browning of strawberry nectar, but the high catalytic efficiency with catechin as a substrate could contribute to anthocyanin degradation via mechanisms such as copolymerization.…”
