Mathematical Approach


To model our system, we first focused our attention on the linear range of each enzymes Michaelis Menten plot. The linear range of this plot is governed by the relationship:


This was useful, but Olive Oil contains many aldehyes and the enzymatic response is different for each one.



To describe this mathematically we started with the assumption that none of the substrates would induce competitive inhibition. If this was the case, the modeling would be simple. We would consider the observed velocity to be a linear combination of the three singular responses to aldehyde.


To test our model we built a set of 64 difference combinations
