Pectic and cellulolytic enzymes caused browning and maceration of capsules of susceptible varieties of castor bean but not of resistant varieties. Results of tests in which pericarp tissue of the capsule was treated with vanillin and H(2)SO(4) and with an aqueous solution of FeCl(3) and K(3)Fe(CN)(6) showed that resistance to the hydrolytic enzymes was correlated with both a low concentration of flavanols and related compounds and the presence of oxidized compounds in injured tissue. Resistance appeared to be due to inactivation of pectic, cellulolytic, and other hydrolytic enzymes by oxidation products of phenolic compounds. The biochemical tests made rapid measurement of resistance possible.
