Real questions that test this

फळांच्या व भाज्यांच्या वितंचकीय तांबसीकरणास तपकिरीपणा कारणीभूत मुख्य वितंचक कोणते ? The key enzyme involved in enzymatic browning of fruits and vegetables is

1)पेरॉक्सिडेज् / Peroxidase
2)पॉलिफेनॉल ऑक्सिडेज / Polyphenol oxidase✓ Correct
3)कॅटॅलेज / Catalase
4)कोलेस्टेरॉल ऑक्सिडेज / Cholesterol oxidase

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is the key enzyme responsible for the enzymatic browning (turning brown when cut or exposed to air) of fruits and vegetables.

(a)क्लोरोफिल / Chlorophyll

(b)नायट्रोजन मेटाबॉलिझम / Nitrogen metabolism

(c)प्रकाश संश्लेषण / Photosynthesis

(d)साखर वाहतूक / Sugar transport

1)फक्त (a) / Only (a)✓ Correct
2)फक्त (b) / Only (b)
3)फक्त (b) आणि (c) / Only (b) and (c)
4)फक्त (c) आणि (d) / Only (c) and (d)
