ABSTRACT
The objective of the present study was to purify and characterize the lipoxygenase (LOX) from banana leaf (Giant Cavendishii, AAA), an unutilized bioresource. LOX was extracted, isolated, and purified 327-fold using 25-50% saturation of ammonium sulfate fractionation, hydroxyapatite column separation, and gel filtration on Superdex 200. The molecular mass of the purified LOX was 85 kDa, K(m) was 0.15 mM, and V(max) was 2.4 microM/min.mg using linoleic acid as substrate. Triton X-100 was required in the extraction medium; otherwise, no LOX activity was detected. LOX activity increased with the concentration of Triton X-100 with an optimum at 0.1%. The optimal pH of the purified LOX from banana leaf was 6.2, and optimal temperature was 40 degrees C. The LOX showed the highest reactivity toward 182 followed by 183 and 204. A very low reaction rate was observed toward 205 and 226. On the basis of retention time in normal phase HPLC, the products of 182 or 183 catalyzed by purified LOX were hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid or hydroperoxyoctadecatrienoic acid. It seems that 9-LOX is the predominant enzyme in banana leaf. Banada leaf dried at 110 degrees C for 2 h developed algal aroma. Banana leaf extract stored at 10 degrees C for 12 h formed an oolong tea-like flavor. Banana leaf extract reacted with 182 or soybean oil pretreated with bacterial lipase produced green and melon-like aroma, whereas the same reaction with 183 produced a sweet, fruity, cucumber-like flavor note.
