Evaluation of Catalase and Peroxidase Activities of Ricinus Communis (CASTOR SEED)
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Chemistry
Abstract
The work was on evaluation of catalase and peroxidase activities of Rucinus communis (castor seed). The research was done using standard analytical procedure. The result showed that for the catalase activity, at 62.5?g/ml concentration of castor seed, the enzyme concentration was 0.25?mol/ml, at 125?g/ml, the enzyme concentration was 0.42?mol/ml, at 250?g/ml, the enzyme concentration was 0.5?mol/ml, at 500?g/ml, the enzyme concentration was 0.7?mol/ml. The result indicated that was a progressive increase as the concentration of the sample increases thus it was concentration dependent. For the peroxidase activity, it showed that at 62.5?g/ml concentration of castor seed, the enzyme concentration was 0.13?mol/ml, at 125?g/ml ,the enzyme concentration was 0.27?mol/ml, at 250?g/ml ,the enzyme concentration was 0.48?mol/ml and at 500?g/ml ,the enzyme concentration was 0.38?mol/ml. This shows that the peroxidase activity was not concentration dependent due to decrease at the highest enzyme concentration.
