The inhibition mode of kojic acid on mushroom, potato, apple, white shrimp, and spiny lobster polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was investigated. Using a polarographic method, kojic acid was shown to inhibit melanosis by interfering with the uptake of O2 required for enzymatic browning. Spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods demonstrated that kojic acid was capable of reducing omicron-quinones to diphenols to prevent the final pigment (melanin) forming. The preincubation temperature did not significantly affect (P < 0.05) PPO inhibition by kojic acid.
