Abstract

PURPOSE:To isolate protease having high low-temperature activity, by adding a proper amount of physiological phosphoric acid buffer solution to krill, homogenizing, removing connective tissue by coarse filtration and subjecting centrifuged supernatant liquid to gel filtration. CONSTITUTION:Krills which were caught, rapidly frozen, thinly cut in a frozen state as they are, mixed in an unheated state (fresh state) with about 2-5 times as much as physiological phosphoric acid buffer solution and homogenized by Waring blender. Then homogenized material is filtered by the use of quadruplex gauze to remove connective tissue and centrifuged to collect supernatant liquid, which is subjected to gel filtration and separated to isolate protease. The protease contains two protease having about 50,000 and about 33,000mol.wt., exoprotease and endoprotease activity.

A) Precipitation was performed and an attempt was made to detect protease activity by increasing the acid-soluble fraction of the supernatant, but no enzyme activity was observed with Kenpo, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAG) was performed.
E) The enzyme activity was examined by the disappearance of the bovine serum albumin band. As a result, the bovine serum albumin band completely disappeared and multiple bands appeared in the low molecular weight region, confirming protease activity in the krill enzyme solution.
