Abstract

This research aims to investigate dicofol removal by peroxidase extracted from cauliflower stem. The factors affecting dicofol removal such as concentration of the enzyme, dicofol concentration, pH value of the solution, temperature and concentration of hydrogen peroxide were tested. The results showed that changing in the enzyme concentration, the concentration of dicofol, the pH value of the solution, the temperature and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide affected the efficiency of dicofol removal. The optimum condition for removal in this study was peroxidase concentration 0.126 U/mL, dicofol 1 mg/L, the pH of the solution at 7, 30 0C and 1 mM hydrogen peroxide. The efficiency of dicofol removal was 94% at 6 h. The above results were used to calculate the amount of dicofol removed per unit of peroxidase and found that 1 unit of peroxidase was able to remove 0.104 mg of dicofol. Therefore, it can be concluded that peroxidase is effective in removing dicofol and the results of this study can be used as a fundamental data for further application.
