    Heat-stable Alkaline Proteinase from Shrimp Waste
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India)Cochin, 1999) Chander, Ramesh; Thomas, Paul
    Proteolytic activity of shrimp waste at alkaline pH was examined. Shrimp waste was found to be a good source for this enzyme. The enzyme activity in the shrimp waste was about 50 times higher than that of muscle. The pH optimum of the enzyme was 8.5 and temperature optima, 50-55oC. It was inhibited maximally by serine protease inhibitor such as STI (soybean trypsin inhibitor). An interesting feature of the enzyme was its tolerance to different solvents.
