Y. Sanz et F. Toldra, MYOGLOBIN AS AN INHIBITOR OF EXOPEPTIDASES FROM LACTOBACILLUS-SAKE, Applied and environmental microbiology, 64(6), 1998, pp. 2313-2314
The effects of myoglobin on exopeptidases of Lactobacillus sake were d
etermined. Inhibition of the aminopeptidases increased as the myoglobi
n concentration increased; aminopeptidase 3 mas the most affected (90%
inhibition). Aminopeptidases 1, 2, and 4 showed similar inhibition le
vels (around 60%). Myoglobin did not affect tripeptidase activity. Thu
s, myoglobin could limit amino acid generation in meat systems.
