To eliminate polyphenol oxidase, the enzyme responsible for the phase change, German scientists engineered a special virus.
This includes iron-rich chemicals called phenols, enzymes called polyphenol oxidase, and oxygen.
They measured certain processing characteristics, including: moisture removal, drying and heating rates, product quality, the residual enzyme activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD), and changes in surface color.
