Abstract
The presence of glutathione in the latex ofCarica papaya and the press juices of pine apple, cucumber, andFicus bengalensis, has been established. The tripeptide has been isolated from the latex ofCarica papaya in the form of its cuprous compound. A quantitative estimation of glutathione has been made, employing the specific glyoxalase reaction. Glutathione is shown to be the natural activator of plant proteinases which in this respect also, are analogous to liver cathepsin and yeast proteinase.
