Abstract: | An aqueous extract of defatted, macerated leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. catalysed the oxidation of linolenate. Extracts prepared from quickly frozen Ginkgo leaves had almost the same activity as the extract from fresh leaves but no trans-2-hexenal was formed. The activity was surprisingly stable at 100° and to acids. However, at pH 12 a marked loss of activity was observed, particularly when the soln was heated, and Pronase, also destroyed most of the activity. |
