1 Fruits such as apples and bananas contain chemicals called polyphenols. An enzyme, polyphenol oxidase, is also present. It catalyses a reaction which converts the polyphenols into browncoloured compounds.
This reaction happens when the cells are damaged and exposed to oxygen in the air.
polyphenol oxidase polyphenols + oxygen browncoloured compounds
You are going to investigate the effect of pH on the enzyme polyphenol oxidase in apples.
Read all the instructions but DO NOT CARRY THEM OUT until you have drawn a table for your results in the space provided in 1(a)(i).
You should use the gloves and eye protection provided when you are carrying out the practical work.
Step 1 Label five Petri dishes A, B, C, D and E.
Step 2 Pour the water from the container labelled water into Petri dish A.
Step 3 Pour the solution labelled B into the Petri dish labelled B.
Step 4 Repeat step 3 for each of the solutions labelled C, D and E and the Petri dishes labelled C, D and E.
Step 5 Dip the end of one piece of Universal Indicator paper into the solution in Petri dish A. Compare the colour of the indicator paper to the colour chart provided to identify the pH of the solution. Record the pH in your table in 1(a)(i).
Step 6 Repeat step 5 for Petri dishes B, C, D and E.
Step 7 Cut the apple provided in half vertically and remove the peel. Put the peel into the container labelled waste. When cutting, take care to cut downwards on to the white tile and away from your hands.
Step 8 Cut five slices from the apple, avoiding the core. Each apple slice should be approximately 30 mm × 10 mm × 5 mm in size. Keep the rest of the apple for step 11.
Step 9 On the white tile, chop one of the apple slices into small pieces and then use a spatula to crush the pieces to a pulp.
Chop and crush the four remaining apple slices. Keep each of the crushed apple slices separate from each other on the white tile, as shown in Fig. 1.1.
crushed apple slices
white tile
Fig. 1.1
Step 10 Place one of the crushed apple slices into each of the solutions in Petri dishes A, B, C, D and E. Put the lids on the Petri dishes and leave them for two minutes.
Step 11 If the cut surface of the rest of the apple has started to turn brown, cut the brown layer away. Cut another 30 mm × 10 mm × 5 mm slice. Chop and crush this apple slice in the same way as in step 9. Leave this crushed apple slice on the white tile and label it control.
Put any leftover apple into the container labelled waste.

0610/51/O/N/17© UCLES 2017 [Turn over
Step 12 Remove the lid of Petri dish A and carefully tilt the base so the liquid runs away from the crushed apple. Pour the liquid into the beaker labelled waste liquid. Make sure that the crushed apple does not fall into the waste liquid.
Do not replace the lid of the Petri dish.
Step 13 Repeat step 12 for each of the Petri dishes labelled B, C, D and E.
Step 14 Determine the colour intensity of the crushed apple in each Petri dish using the key shown in Table 1.1. Record the results in your table in 1(a)(i).
Step 15 Determine the colour intensity of the crushed apple in each Petri dish after 10 minutes and after 20 minutes. Record the results in your table in 1(a)(i).
While you are waiting continue with the other questions.

(a) (i) Prepare a table to record your results.
Your table should include: • the colour intensity value for the crushed apple slices • the pH of each solution.

Some students investigated the effect of pH on the enzyme polyphenol oxidase in apples.
The students were provided with one apple, distilled water and four solutions labelled B, C, D and E. Each solution had a different pH.
Step 1 Five Petri dishes were labelled A, B, C, D and E.
Step 2 20 cm3 of distilled water was added to Petri dish A.
Step 3 20 cm3 of solution B was poured into the Petri dish labelled B.
Step 4 Step 3 was repeated using solutions C, D and E and the Petri dishes labelled C, D and E.
Step 5 Universal Indicator paper and a pH colour chart were used to find the pH of each of the solutions in the five Petri dishes.
Step 6 Six slices were cut from an apple and put on to separate white tiles. The apple slices were cut to approximately the same size.
Step 7 Each apple slice was chopped into small pieces and then crushed with a spatula.
Step 8 One of the crushed apple slices was put into each of the solutions in Petri dishes A, B, C, D and E. A lid was put on to each of the Petri dishes and they were left for two minutes.
Step 9 The crushed apple from the remaining slice was left uncovered, on the white tile and was labelled control.
Step 10 The lid of Petri dish A was removed and the liquid was poured away, leaving only the crushed apple in the Petri dish. The Petri dish lid was not replaced.
Step 11 Step 10 was repeated for Petri dishes B, C, D and E.
Step 12 The students looked at the colour of the crushed apple slice in each Petri dish at 0 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes.
The students used the key shown in Table 1.1 to identify the colour intensity value for each crushed apple slice.

(a) (i) Prepare a table to record the results.
Your table should include: • the colour intensity value for the crushed apple slices • the pH of each solution.
[5]
(ii) List the pH values from the most effective to the least effective in preventing the browning of the apple.

(e) The enzyme polyphenol oxidase and the substrate polyphenol can be extracted from crushed apples. The substrate turns brown when the enzyme is present.
Some students were provided with extracts of the enzyme and the substrate.

(f) In another experiment, enzymes were extracted from two different fruits.
These enzyme extracts were heated at 65 °C for a total of 60 minutes.
During this time samples were removed every 15 minutes.
The samples were tested to find out how much enzyme activity remained.
Table 1.3 shows the results of the experiment.

(i) Plot a line graph on the grid of enzyme activity against sample time.
You should plot the data for the apricot and for the avocado.
