Abstract
ABSTRACT Enzymatic activities (polyphenoloxidase and peroxidase) and o‐diphenols content were estimated in fruits of five olive varieties differing in browning rate. Significant differences were observed among the varieties. The browning rate correlated with o‐diphenols content and polyphenol oxidase activity, but not with peroxidase activity.
