Article Synopsis
- Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is responsible for the browning of fruits and vegetables, making it important to find ways to inhibit its activity effectively.
- The study explores the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as safe and stable materials to develop efficient PPO inhibitors.
- Modifying MSNs with dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) significantly inhibits PPO activity, while MWCNTs modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) can nearly completely inactivate PPO, though combined modifications show limited effects.
