Abstract

ABSTRACTA model system has been established that utilizes the entrapment of whole banana pulp homogenates within a calcium alginate matrix in the form of bead that is effective in assaying for enzyme activity in the pulp of the ripe banana fruit. This medium retained enzyme activity for amylase, maltase and invertase and provided indirect evidence of sucrose synthetase activity. A cyclic pathway has been proposed for the biosynthesis and hydrolysis of sucrose in the pulp of ripening banana fruit.
