Abstract:
The browning of green olives, which results from mechanical injury, was followed by measuring the reflectance from the fruit surface at 545 nm. The process is enzymic, apparently catalysed by catechol oxidase. It could not be prevented by inhibitors of the enzyme or by reducing agents, due to the impermeability of the whole fruit to these compounds. Dipping the fruit in 0.4 % NaOH prevented the formation of brown spots following mechanical injury. Copyright © 1978 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
