Fruits of cv. Nam Dok Mai were harvested at the green mature stage and allowed to ripen at ambient temperature (27-28 deg C) for 8 days. Polygalacturonase (PG) was extracted and purified in its 2 forms from the mesocarp tissue during ripening. The increase in exo- and endo-PG activities correlated well with increasing ripeness. Analysis of the enzymes indicated that at least 3 proteins of molecular weight 67 000, 34 000 and 32 000 were associated with PG activity.
