Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase(PPO) (E.C. number 1.10.3.1) has ubiquitous distribution in almost all living
organism. Whereas, peroxidase(POD) (E.C. number 1.11.1) act as hormone regulation and defense mechanism in
plants. Keeping in pace with their present-day industrial application, efforts have been made to evaluate the activity of
these two enzymes (PPO and POD) using pepper pericarp (Capsicum annuum L.) as an experimental material using
catechol and guaiacol as a substrate, respectively. The effects of enzyme extract, substrate, hydrogen peroxide
concentration (only for POD), pH and temperature and antimicrobial activity against different bacterial strains were
investigated.
