Physiological and physicochemical behavior of guamara (Bromelia pinguin) and cocuixtle (Bromelia karatas) fruits, as well as the antibacterial effect of their pre-purified proteases

The objective was to study the behavior of respiration rate (RR) guamara and cocuixtle fruits during storage, effect or maturity stage (green consumption maturity) these on physicochemical parameters specific proteolytic activity, as well antibacterial prepurified proteases fruits. presented a RR 15 mL CO2/kg·h 10 CO2/kg·h, respectively; because ethylene production not detected in any species, it concluded that both are non-climacteric type. highest enzymatic activity state green maturity, with 18.99 53.88 U/mg protein, respectively. Likewise, pre-purified from showed against E. coli S. aureus. It is ripened can be an important source for food industry they used pathogens.
