Notes:
: The modori phenomenon from several fish species has been associated with endogenous proteinolytic enzymes. We evaluated the presence of modori-associated proteinases in Mexican flounder and Atlantic croaker, and the decrease of the modori effect by inhibition of the responsible enzymes with serine-proteinase inhibitors from legume seeds. The presence of modori was evaluated by changes in shear stress and shear strain at failure in surimi gels incubated for 30 min at 60 °C. Modori was associated with proteolytic degradation of myosin by SDS-PAGE analysis. Crude extracts from kidney bean, pea, chickpea, lentil, and soybean inhibited proteolytic activities of both fish to different extents.
