Procedure
An aliquot of the inventive oxygen-enriched output material was tested for peroxidase activity by using a commercially available horseradish peroxidase and a pyrogallol assay (Sigma). Briefly, pyrogallol stock solution was prepared with deionized water. Pyrogallol measures peroxidase activity of the horseradish peroxidase enzyme on the fluid as it reacts with a substrate (such as hydrogen peroxide), to yield purpurogallin and water. Test fluid with horseradish peroxidase, pyrogallol and the appropriate potassium phosphate buffer were compared with other fluids. Hydrogen peroxide served as the positive control. The other fluids tested were water that was oxygenated and pressurized in a pressure pot, up to 100 psi to reach the desired dissolved oxygen level (Pressure Pot), while the other fluid was oxygenated with an air stone in an open beaker (Fine Bubble). All fluids tested were maintained at room temperature, and measured approximately 55 ppm dissolved oxygen level (by FOXY probe). Water samples were tested by adding the enzymatic reagents. Continuous spectrophotometric rate determination was made at A420 nm, and room temperature (25 degrees Celsius).
