Almond β-glucosidase activity in the presence and absence of heat-inactivated human saliva. Almond β-glucosidase was measured in a reaction containing phosphate buffer (○) and phosphate buffer with 25 μL of heat-inactivated human saliva (▲). The background activity of the heat inactivated saliva (■) and phosphate buffer both without almond β-glucosidase (□) were also measured. Each treatment and time point was measured in duplicate. The data points represent average values ± SD
