ENZYMATIC KINETIC STUDY HYDROLASE FROM CITRUS

In this paper the degrading activity of enzymes derived from orange peels (Citrus x sinensis), grapefruit (Citrus paradise) and pineapple (Ananas comosus) on the organic matter in wastewater is evaluated.This activity is measured indirectly by quantifying the biochemical oxygen demand (COD) odyssey white hot putter 5 before and after degradation process based on a period of time using the HACH DR / stor trebolle 2010, and then the kinetic study was performed by the differential method and integral with the experimental data, obtaining a reaction order of 1 to pectinase (orange), and order 2 for bromelain (pineapple).
