Abstract A system for studying the coupled oxidation of carotene by lipoxidase and similar fatty acid oxidases is described. The experimental characteristics of the system are illustrated, and particular attention is paid to the effect of pH on the observed reaction velocities. The system presents certain advantages over previous systems of a similar nature.
