Meat of golden pomfrets is tough, thus not idea for fish balls or fish cakes. Tenderization is essential to achieve desired texture and consumer acceptance, especially for this fish meat with intrinsic hard texture. Bromelain can be extracted from pineapple processing waste. Enzymatic kinetics was studied to instruct industry to control the tenderness of the processed fish meat. The microstructural and mechanism study elucidate the process, thus could be applied to improve the quality of the seafood products correspondingly.
