Some aspects of biochemical changes due to maturation of acid and papain treated Hevea latex - Journal of the Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka 1998 - 14-22
Biochemical changes that occur due tho maturation of acid and papain treated Hevea latex were investigated. An increase in bacterial population in latex of both acid and papain treated, was observed during maturation. The increse in papain treated latex was significantly higher than that in acid treated latex. Higher microbial activity correlated with decreases in carbohydrate and amino acid levels in serum. Maturation of papain treated latex, enhances protein digestion and reduction in ash content without any adverse effect on major raw rubber properties.
