1. Product Description
Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO) is an oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of phenolic compounds to quinones, which subsequently polymerize to form brown pigments. It is widely used in food processing, biotechnology, and industrial applications.
Food Grade: Helps in flavor development, color formation, and bioactive compound modification in foods.
Industrial Grade: Used in biosensors, wastewater treatment, phenolic compound degradation, and enzymatic synthesis.
