Lipoxygenase from brewing barley of Nordbaden has optimum activity at alkaline pH and predominantly forms 9-hydroperoxy-10-trans, 12-cis-octadecadienoic acid (9-LHPO) from linoleic acid. While at pH 7 90% 9-LHPO is produced, its proportions drops during incubation at more alkaline pH (pH 7,75) to 70%. This positional specifity is not caused by isoenzymes. While linoleic acid methylester is converted only to a lesser degree, trilinolein is not accepted as substrate.
