What are condtions which influence enzyme activity?
Enzyme activity is influenced by the time of action, concentration, temperature and pH. Enzymes are affected differently by food preparation techniques. Following is a graph which equates activity of four different enzymes with several processing factors. 0 7 14 |____________|_____________| | | | | c | | o 2x- – n | | c | | e | | n | | t | | ration| | |__________________________| 0 \ 70 From the graph on the previously, which enzyme would likely be susceptible to denaturation by the rigors of food preparation procedures.
