    impact the investigation as the higher the concentration of sucrose that is used in this experiment, the average percent change in mass in Solanum tuberosum core will decrease. This will occur due to the fact as the solute concentration begins to increase in the water, the solution will eventually become hypertonic, thus the percent change in mass of the Solanum tuberosum core will start to decrease as water molecules move from a region of low solute concentration inside the core to the higher solute

    Abstract The enzyme catechol oxidase, extracted from masticated potato (Solanum tuberosum) lowers activation energy, as it is a catalyst. This enzyme can react with catechol to produce benzoquinone and water. Catechol oxidase is tested against a multitude of phosphate buffers, acidic, neutral and basic pH values, and chilled temperatures to hot temperatures. The purposes of these testes were to determine the optimal temperature and pHs at which catechol oxidase performs at. The method to measure

    The effect of temperature and pH on the enzyme activity of the potato (Solanum tubersum) with the use of spectrophotometry. Abstract The Solanum tubersum, also known as the common household potato exhibits catechol oxidase, an enzyme that is seen in many fruits and vegetables. The enzyme catalyzes catechol to produce benzoquinone, which is one of the causes of browning in many fruits and vegetables. The rate of enzymatic reactions, and the final absorbance can change drastically due to a change
