PPO is mainly responsible for browning in fruits. Irradiation process is generally used for phytosanitary purpose and has impact on quality of fresh fruits also. is there any published work on this aspect?
Polyphenol oxidase is an enzyme which, depending on the dose of irradiation and duration in the chamber, could be affected. A simple confirmatory test for PPO should be carried out as a post-irradiation step for fruit and vegetables.
