The tenderization can be partly attributed to the acid lysosomal cathepsins and cytosolic neutral calcium-activated calpains. In this study, these proteases from fish and bovine muscles were quantified and compared. The cathepsin B and L activities were in more important amounts in sea bass white muscle than in bovine muscle. On the other hand, cathepsin D activity was 1.4 times higher in meat that in fish muscle, while cathepsin H was negligible in both muscles. Calpain activities were similar in both types of muscle. Moreover, calpastatin (calpain endogenous inhibitor) level is 3.9 times higher in sea bass white muscle. These differential activities are considered in relation to their probable involvement in post mortem degradation of muscle. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
