Summary

THE ENZYMIC BREAKDOWN OF PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE IN CARP MUSCLE IS STUDIED DURING STORAGE AT 273, 270, 268, 266 AND 262 K (0, -3, -5, -7 AND -11 C) BY TITRATING GLYCERYLPHOSPHORYLCHOLINE. THE BREAKDOWN IS MAXIMUM AT 268 K. CARP MUSCLES ARE FREEZE-DRIED TO DIFFERENT DEHYDRATION LEVELS. THE FORMATION OF GLYCERYLPHOSPHORYLCHOLINE IN DEHYDRATED MUSCLE IS FOLLOWED AT 310 K (37 C) FOR TEN HOURS. ITS CONTENT IS MAXIMUM FOR 60 TO 80% DEHYDRATION OF THE MUSCLE. THE DEHYDRATION LEVEL PLAYS A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE HASTENING OF PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE BREAKDOWN AT LOW TEMPERATURES.
