SUMMARY— The feasibility of cryoscopy for measuring changes in water-soluble components of five enzyme-substrate mixtures was investigated. Cellulase, pectinase, pectin esterase, alpha-amylase and beta-amylase were studied. Viscosity measurements were run simultaneously with freezing points as a conventional method for determining enzymatic activity. Measurements taken at periodic intervals revealed changes in both viscosity and freezing-point values. A comparison of the two sets of values can be useful in assaying the purity of commercial enzyme preparations.
