The objective of this research was to observe the potency of protease of Lactobacillus LBP 1 as meat tenderizer. The study included the proteolytic enzyme activity and the effect of the enzyme concentration to meat tenderizing. The isolation of protease used ammonium sulphate of 15, 30,40, and 60%, to be determined their specific activities. The enzyme activity was calculated as the number of protease which catalysed the releasing 1 μmol of tyrosin per minute and was measured by spectrophotometer at wave length of 274 nm. Fraction which has the highest activity then was chosen for dialysis process and the specific activity was determined. Meat tenderizing was done by immersed the meat into the enzyme extract in concentration of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00% respectively for 30 min. The meat tenderize was measured by penetrometer. Fraction 0f 45% ammonium sulphate showed the highest activity and has specific activity of 0.794 U/mg. Partial purificationby ammonium sulfate of this fraction by dialysis process showed a specific activity of 1.202 Unit/mg. Tenderizing of meat score correlated with the enzyme concentration and give the tenderize score of 5.3 mm/g/10s, 5.8 mm/g/10s, 6.9 mm/g/10s for immersing of enzyme concentration of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00% respectively for 30 min.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
