| Popis: | Lipase activity in para rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) seed was measured by monitoring the release of free fatty acid by lipolysis of the endogenous lipid in a crushed sample of seed incubated at 37.5°C for 30 min. Free fatty acid was determined colorimetrically by a modified copper soap method. Fresh seeds showed the highest lipase activity. Drying the seeds at 60°C inactivated the enzyme. Drying of the seed at this temperature may be useful as a pretreatment for extraction of oil from the seed. |
