Product description

Limonin, a representative of triterpenoid compounds, is the main cause of "post-bitterness" in citrus fruits during processing. Enzymatic conversion to reduce the content of limonin is a suitable method for the juice industry. The activity of limonin convertase is proportional to the consumed content of limonin. Limonin forms a stable red complex with Ehrlich's reagent, and the change in absorbance OD value can be measured to determine the activity of limonin convertase.
