Identification and characterization of a heat stable protease in arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias) and methods of inhibition in surimi

Creator:

Wasson, Diana H.

Abstract:

A heat stable protease was identified as the cause of textural degradation in cooked arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias) muscle. Maximum proteolytic activity in the fish muscle was observed between 55°C and 60°C and myosin heavy chain appeared to be the primary substrate for the enzyme. Degradation of this myofibrillar protein...
