ENZYMATIC KINETIC STUDY HYDROLASE FROM CITRUS

In this paper the degrading activity of enzymes click here derived from orange peels (Citrus x sinensis), grapefruit (Citrus paradise) and pineapple (Ananas comosus) on the organic matter in wastewater is evaluated.This activity is measured indirectly by quantifying the biochemical oxygen demand (COD) before and after degradation process based on a period of time using the HACH DR / 2010, and then the kinetic study was pet calming peanut butter performed by the differential method and integral with the experimental data, obtaining a reaction order of 1 to pectinase (orange), and order 2 for bromelain (pineapple).
