Physicochemical Properties of Frozen Fish Muscle as Affected by Trimethylamine-N-oxide demethylase (TMAOase)

Creator:

Lee, Jinhwan

Abstract:

Gadoid fish, like Alaska pollock and Pacific whiting, have a high level of trimethylamine-N-oxide demethylase (TMAOase) that catalyzes the breakdown of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) to formaldehyde (FA) and dimethylamine (DMA) even during frozen storage. FA reacts with amino acid residues to promote covalent cross-links in the formation of inter- and intramolecular...
