Abstract

Jacaratia dodecaphylla is a Caricaceae found in the Parana subtropical forest.
It is used in popular medicine as a soft painless laxative.
The fruits that contain latex are only edible when very ripe.
A proteolytic enzyme has been isolated from the pulp of the fruit.
The enzyme shows a peak of activity in alkaline conditions and at temperatures of 50°C and higher.
It has been characterized as a cysteinil proteinase.
Its activity strongly decreases in presence of small amounts of Cu⁺⁺ and Ni⁺⁺, while saline concentrations as high as 400 mM do not affect the activity.
