The effect of cofactors on olive mesocarp lipase activity. Assays were performed
using triolein as substrate in a reaction mixture consisting in 80mMmalic acid/MES/
Tris (pH 5.0). Cofactors were pre-incubated with the extracts for 1 h before the
addition of the substrate. Values are means of three independent assays  standard
errors. The control value without addition of the effectors was approximately
5.0  0.4 nmol oleic acid h1 mg1 protein.
