Abstract

The heat inactivation of a mixture of alkaline proteinases from North Sea cod (Gadus morhua) viscera and bovine α-chymotrypsin were compared at 40–60°C, pH 8.0. Fish digestive proteinases were at least 10-fold less heat resistant than chymotrypsin mainly as a result of a lower apparent activation enthalpy (ΔH#) for the thermoinactivation of the former proteinases.
