Soluble peroxidase activity extracted from purple, green and white eggplants (Solanum melongena L.) was measured spectrophotometrically. Activity was significantly higher in the white variety than in the other two. The isozyme patterns were compared by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purple and green had 3 major isozyme bands between 0.8 and 0.9 Rf while the white contained 2. Only the white and purple cultivars contained bands between 0.06 and 0.3 and 0.6 and 0.7 Rf.
