Notes:
Three pectin methyl esterase fractions were obtained from banana pulp by successive extraction with water (Fraction I), a solution of 0.15M NaCl (Fraction II), and a solution of 0.15M NaCl after adjusting the pH of the mixture to 7.5 (Fraction III). The changes in the activities of these fractions during post-harvest ripening were investigated. The activities of all three fractions increased as the banana skin began to change from green to yellow. Thereafter Fractions I and II remained relatively constant while Fraction III continued to increase in activity throughout the period of ripening studied.
