Abstract
Theaflavins are beneficial to human health due to various bioactivities. Biosynthesis of theaflavins using polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is advantageous due to cost effectiveness and environmental friendliness. In this review, studies on the mechanism of theaflavins formation, the procedures to screen and prepare PPOs, optimization of reaction systems and immobilization of PPOs were described. The challenges associated with the mass biosynthesis of theaflavins, such as poor enzyme activity, undesirable subproducts and inclusion bodies of recombinant PPOs were presented. Further strategies to solve these challenges and improve theaflavins production, including enzyme engineering, immobilization enzyme technology, water-immiscible solvent-water biphasic systems and recombinant enzyme technology, were proposed.

Abstract
Strain improvement via chemical mutagen could impart traits with better enzyme production or improved characteristics. The present study sought to investigate the physicochemical properties of pullulanase produced from the wild Bacillus sp and the mutant. The pullulanases produced from the wild and the mutant Bacillus sp. (obtained via induction with ethyl methyl sulfonate) were purified in a-three step purification procedure and were also characterized. The wild and mutant pullulanases, which have molecular masses of 40 and 43.23 kDa, showed yields of 2.3% with 6.0-fold purification and 2.0% with 5.0-fold purification, respectively, and were most active at 50 and 40 °C and pH 7 and 8, respectively. The highest stability of the wild and mutant was between 40 and 50 °C after 1 h, although the mutant retained greater enzymatic activity between pH 6 and 9 than the wild. The mutant had a decreased Km of 0.03 mM as opposed to the wild type of 1.6 mM. In comparison to the wild, the mutant demonstrated a better capacity for tolerating metal ions and chelating agents. These exceptional characteristics of the mutant pullulanase may have been caused by a single mutation, which could improve its utility in industrial and commercial applications.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is an important metalloenzyme in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). However, there has recently been a lack of comprehensive reviews on Camellia sinensis PPO. In this study, the methods for extracting PPO from Camellia sinensis, including acetone extraction, buffer extraction, and surfactant extraction, are compared in detail. The main purification methods for Camellia sinensis PPO, such as ammonium sulfate precipitation, three-phase partitioning, dialysis, ultrafiltration, ion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, and affinity chromatography, are summarized. PPOs from different sources of tea plants are characterized and systematically compared in terms of optimal pH, optimal temperature, molecular weight, substrate specificity, and activators and inhibitors. In addition, the applications of PPO in tea processing and the in vitro synthesis of theaflavins are outlined. In this review, detailed research regarding the extraction, purification, properties, and application of Camellia sinensis PPO is summarized to provide a reference for further research on PPO.

Abstract
Phytases are specialized enzymes meant for phytic acid degradation. They possess ability to prevent phytic acid indigestion, including its attendant environmental pollution. This study was aimed at investigating biochemical properties of purified phytase of B. cereus isolated from Achatina fulica. Phytase produced from Bacillus cereus that exhibited optimal phytate degrading-ability of all the bacteria isolated was purified in a three-step purification. The biochemical properties of the purified enzyme were also determined. The phytase homogeny of approximately 45 kDa exhibited 12.8-purification fold and 1.6% yield with optima phytate degrading efficiency and maximum stability at pH 7 and 50 °C. Remaining activity of 52 and 47% obtained between 60 and 70 °C after 2 h further established thermostability of the purified phytase. Mg2+ and Zn2+ enhanced phytate hydrolysis by the enzyme, while Na+ showed mild inhibition but Hg2+ severely inhibited the enzymatic activity. Km and Vmax were estimated to be 0.11 mM and 55.6 μmol/min/mL, displaying enzyme-high substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency, respectively. Phytase purified from Bacillus cereus, isolated from African giant snails, has shown excellent characteristics suitable for phytic acid hydrolysis and could be employed in industrial and biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase which is responsible for oxidative conversion of phenolic compounds to polymers, has continued to attract the attention of scientists. Here, we report the extraction, purification and biochemical properties of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina). The enzyme was purified and concentrated using a non-conventional approach, aqueous two-phase partitioning (ATPS) and the biochemical properties of the purified enzyme were investigated. Substrate specificity studies revealed that the enzyme predominantly exhibits diphenolase activity. The order of substrate preference was catechol > L-DOPA > caffeic acid > L-tyrosine > resorcinol>2-naphthol > phenol. The optimum pH and temperature obtained for the enzyme using catechol as substrate were 5.5 and 50 °C respectively. The estimated Michaelis constant (Km) and maximum velocity (Vmax) for the purified vaPPO using catechol as substrate were 183 ± 5.0 mM and 2000 ± 15 units/mg protein respectively. The catalytic efficiency (Vmax/Km) of the purified vaPPO was 10.9 ± 0.03 min/mg. Na+, K+ and Ba2+ remarkably activated the enzyme and the level of activation was proportional to the concentration. The vaPPO presented stability in the presence of up to 50 mM of the different metal ions tested. In contrast, Cu2+ and NH4+ inhibited the enzyme even 10 mM concentrations. The enzyme was stable in chloroform retaining up to 60% relative activity at 50% (v/v) concentration. There was an increase in the activity (143%) of the enzyme at 30% (v/v) chloroform., revealing that vaPPO could catalyze the substrate more efficiently in 30% (v/v) chloroform. Total loss of enzyme activity was observed at 20% (v/v) concentrations of acetone, ethanol and methanol. In conclusion, the properties of the vaPPO such as its catalysis in the presence of organic solvents, metals and high temperature would be of interest in many biotechnological applications.

Abstract
PPO was purified from Cistanche deserticola, and its enzymatic characteristics were clarified. It was found that microwave treatment was an efficient way to inactivate PPO. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from Cistanche deserticola was obtained and purified through an acetone precipitation and anion exchange column, the enzymatic characteristics and inactivation kinetics of PPO were studied. The specific activity of PPO was 73135.15 ± 6625.7 U/mg after purification, the purification multiple was 48.91 ± 4.43 times, and the recovery was 30.96 ± 0.27%. The molecular weight of the PPO component is about 66 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis. The optimum substrate of PPO was catechol (Vmax = 0.048 U/mL, Km = 21.70 mM) and the optimum temperature and pH were 30 °C and 7, respectively. When the temperature is above 50 °C, pH < 3 or pH > 10, the enzyme activity can be significantly inhibited. The first-order kinetic fitting shows that microwave inactivation has lesser k values, larger D values and shorter t1/2. It was found that microwave treatment is considered as an efficient and feasible way to inactive PPO by comparing the Z values and Ea values of the two thermal treatments.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is present in most higher plants, but also in animals and fungi. PPO in plants had been summarized several years ago. However, recent advances in studies of PPO in plants are lacking. This review concludes new researches on PPO distribution, structure, molecular weights, optimal temperature, pH, and substrates. And, the transformation of PPO from latent to active state was also discussed. This state shift is a vital reason for elevating PPO activity, but the activation mechanism in plants has not been elucidated. PPO has an important role in plant stress resistance and physiological metabolism. However, the enzymatic browning reaction induced by PPO is a major problem in the production, processing, and storage of fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, we summarized various new methods that had been invented to decrease enzymatic browning by inhibiting PPO activity. In addition, our manuscript included information on several important biological functions and the transcriptional regulation of PPO in plants. Furthermore, we also prospect some future research areas of PPO and hope they will be useful for future research in plants.

Abstract
There has been considerable interest in controlling polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity to prevent enzymatic browning in foods. However, studies on inhibitions of different forms of PPO are very limited. Thus, this study focuses on the effects of cinnamic acid, β-cyclodextrin, L-cysteine, and ascorbic acid on soluble PPO (sPPO) and membrane-bound PPO (mPPO) in peach fruit. The activity of partially purified sPPO was 3.17 times higher than that of mPPO. However, mPPO was shown to be more stable than sPPO in the presence of inhibitors with different concentrations (i.e., 1, 3, 5 mM); activation of mPPO was found by 5 mM L-cysteine. Both sPPO and mPPO inhibitions were PPO substrate-dependent. Ascorbic acid showed the highest inhibitory effect on both sPPO and mPPO with all studied inhibitors and substrates. The inhibition of 1 mM ascorbic acid on sPPO and mPPO reached 95.42 ± 0.07% and 65.60 ± 1.16%, respectively. β-Cyclodextrin had a direct inhibitory effect only on sPPO, while the other three inhibitors had direct effects on both sPPO and mPPO. Cinnamic acid exhibited a non-competitive inhibition on sPPO and mPPO, with L-cysteine showing the same, though on sPPO. The inhibition of studied inhibitors on sPPO and mPPO is highly related to the substrate environment, type, and concentration of inhibitors. This study provides a basis for the further prevention of peach fruit browning from the perspective of different enzyme forms.

Abstract
The gut of termite has been observed to host communities of bacteria which exhibited pullulan-degrading ability. Bacillus safensis displayed maximum pullulanase (a debranching enzyme) activity and it was therefore selected for production, purification and characterization of pullulanase which was the aim of the study. The crude enzyme obtained from the pullulanase production medium was subjected to ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion exchange and gel-filtration chromatography and the physicochemical properties of the purified was thereafter characterized. A purified pullulanase with the yield of 13% and 24-fold purification was obtained and its homogeneity was established by molecular weight of 42 kDa. The optimum pH 7 and 60 °C were obtained while the enzyme was stable between 40-60 °C and pH 4–5 and 7–8 respectively with significant amount of residual activities recorded. The purified pullulanase was stimulated in the presence of Ca2+, urea and SDS while Al3+, Fe2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Mg2+ and chelating agent, EDTA mildly inhibited the activity of the enzyme in a concentration-dependent manner. The Km and Vmax were found to be 0.324 μmol/ml/min and 6.85 mg/ml respectively. The exceptional physicochemical properties of B. safensis pullulanase could find application in several industrial processes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the biochemical properties of African bush mango (Irvingia gabonensis) pulp PPO. PPO was purified from I. gabonensis fruit pulp in three steps and characterized. A purification fold of 343 with specific activity of 216 U/mg and 13% recovery were obtained as well as molecular weight of 32.67 kDa was observed. The optimum pH and temperature were found to be pH 7.0 and 50 °C respectively while the enzyme showed instability at low pH 2-4 with total inactivation at pH 2 but maximal at pH 5-9 with remaining residual activity of 60-90%, whereas, total enzyme activity inactivation was observed at 90 °C. However, Cu2+, Fe2+ and Mg2+ enhanced the PPO activity but inhibited by Ca2+, Ba2+, K+ and Na+. Notably, purified PPO was inactivated completely by urea at concentration above 10 mM while Km and Vmax values were estimated to be 7.34 mM and 0.36 U/min for catechol, 10.76 mM and 0.30 U/min for L-DOPA, and 14.90 mM and 0.26 U/min for tyrosine, respectively. The activity of PPO in I. gabonensis fruit and its juicy product could be controlled at high temperature in acidified medium.
