| Research Abstract |
Allyl isothiocyanate showed only weak inhibitory effect on polyphenol oxidase. However, heat-treated allyl isothiocyanate (hAITC) inhibited polyphenol oxidase. Application to the nasunin extraction from eggplant peels was investigated. During the extraction, nasunin was easily degraded by eggplant polyphenol oxidase. However, the amount of nasunin was approximately doubled by adding the hAITC.
