Impact of Nitrogen Fertilization on Tuber Yield, Sugar Composition and Nitrogen Uptake of Two Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius Poepp. & Endl.) Genotypes [PDF]
Polyphenol oxidase (E.C. 1.14.18.1) (PPO) extracted from yacon roots (Smallanthus sonchifolius) was partially purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and separation on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 45 490+/-3500 Da and Km values of 0.23, 1.14, 1.34, and 5.0 mM for the substrates caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, 4-methylcatechol,

New Compounds from Leaves of Smallanthus sonchifolius [PDF]
A new octadecatrienoic acid and a new benzyl glycoside, along with a known compound, were isolated from the leaves of Smallanthus sonchifolius. The structures of the two new compounds were elucidated as 13(R)-hydroxy-octadeca-(9E,11E,15Z)-trienoic acid (1) and benzyl alcohol 7-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl(1″→2′)-β-D-glucopyranoside (2) on the basis of ...
