Abstract
The apple (Bramley''s Seedling) contains a thermolabile enzyme which is capable of reversibly oxidizing vit. C without seriously impairing its antiscorbutic activity. This enzyme does not function under anaerobic conditions and is only inhibited by very high cone, of cyanide. The peroxidase of the apple does not seem to be involved in this oxidation process.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
