Aim and Background. Per o xi d ases a re o n e o f t he m o st i m p o rta n t enz y mes that p artici pa t es in many p h y s i o lo g i c al p rocesses in p l a n ts. Peroxidases are heme containing proteins that utilize H2O2 in the oxidation of various organic and inorganic substrates. In this research, the activity of peroxidase, was investigated in Crocus sativus L. co r m s extracts . The activity of peroxidase was studied with different c on c e ntr at i o n o f H 2 O 2 and pH measurement .

Materials and Methods. In this study t h e pl a nt cor m s were p r epa r e d in Ju l y as dor m ant stage and Novamber as waking stage . C o r m s were us e d as t h e enz y me e x trac t i on sou r ce and w as u s e d f o r f u rt h e r st ud y .
