The optimum conditions for the proteolytic solubilization of
trash fish and processing carcass waste in a simple shell-in-tube
heat exchange system was investigated. The nutritional and chemical
effects of processing variables were evaluated.
An exogenous source of proteolytic enzymes (albacore tuna
viscera, Thunnus alalunga) yielded a linear increase in the...
The proteolytic enzymes in the visceral organs of albacore tuna
fish (Thunnus alalunga) were studied, initially as an extract of the
whole viscera, then as extracts of the individual organs. Preliminary
studies indicated three pH optima of activity in the whole viscera
extracts pH 1.7, 3.1-3.5 and 9.5. Analysis of...
