520 3 _aAbstract: Lipoxygenases (LOX) are a class of oxidoreductases (non-hem, ferrum-free, transferring oxygen and hydrogen) and they are wide-spread in plants and animals. Lipoxygenases enzymatic activity has a significant detrimental effect on the organoleptic and nutritional values of minimally processed fruits and vegetables. These group of enzymes catalyze the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) stimulating the commencement and propagation of the free radical chain reaction. Natural forms of the enzyme's substrate are polyunsaturated fatty acids, appearing in plants (linoleic (LA), linolenic (LN) and arachidonic acid (ANA), methyl/ethyl esters of linoleic acid). The aim of the study is to isolate and purify lipoxygenase from avocado, to determine enzyme activity, kinetics of reaction and determine the kinetic parameters. Also determine the optimum temperature and pH at which the enzyme works best. To increase the chemical and thermal stability of the enzyme, we immobilized the enzyme on the surface of chitosan nanoparticles. We tested the activity of the enzyme as a bleaching agent in detergent industry. Our results indicate that the activity of the enzyme increased by 30% upon immobilization.
