Summary

OCCURRENCE OF PROTEOLYTIC ENZYMES, AMINOPEPTIDASE AND CATHEPSIN B WAS DEMONSTRATED IN THE MUSCLE EXTRACTS OF 7 MARINE FISH SPECIES. THE ACTIVITY OF AMINOPEPTIDASE SHOWED A PROGRESSIVE DECLINE DURING STORAGE AT 273 K (0 DEG C) AND FROZEN CONDITION IN DOMA AND SARDINE. CATHEPSIN B ACTIVITY, ON THE OTHER HAND, DECREASED IN MACKEREL, SHARK AND POMFRET MUSCLE DURING COLD STORAGE. IN INDIAN SALMON, ACTIVITIES OF BOTH ENZYMES WERE REDUCED AS A CONSEQUENCE OF STORAGE. THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DECLINE IN THE ENZYME ACTIVITY DURING STORAGE SERVING AS AN INDEX OF THE FRESHNESS OF FISH IS INDICATED.
