摘要
The enzyme system concerning volatile ester formation in strawberry Fragaria ananassa x Duchessne var. Chandler was studied. Protein with alcohol acyltransferase activity was purified about 29-fold from Chandler strawberry fruits by ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration, and anion-exchange chromatography. The enzyme activity had a pH optimum of 8.0 and an optimum temperature of 35-degrees-C. The apparent M(r) estimated by gel filtration was 70 000. The enzyme was tested for its preference in using different acyl-CoAs and alcohols. Maximum activity was obtained using acetyl-CoA and hexyl alcohol as substrates. A clear correlation was observed between substrate preference and volatile esters present in strawberry var. Chandler.
