A protease purified from hepatopancreas of shrimp, Penaeus japonicus, had maximum activity at $70^{\circ}C$ and in neutral and alkaline pH ranges. Specific activity at optimum reaction condition of the protease was estimated to be approximately 12 U/mg/min. The protease was stable in neutral and alkaline pH ranges and activity was retained after heat treatment at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Apparent $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ value against casein substrate were estimated to be $0.29\%$ and $7.8see^{-1}$, respectively, and those against N-CBZ-L-tyrosine p-nitropheny1 ester (CBZ­Tyr-NE) were 0.38 mM and $2,400 see^{-1}$, respectively. The N-termina1 sequence of the protease showed high homology to the trypsin from same species and the proteases from shrimp. Myosin heavy chain (MHC) from shrimp tail meat was the most susceptible to the protease and actin/tropomyosin were degraded progressively during 4 hr incubation, but to a lesser degree than MHC.

A protease without tryptic and chymotryptic activities was purified from the hepatopancreas of shrimp, Penaeus orientalis, using Q-Sepharose ionic exchange, benzamidine Sepharose-6B affinity, Mono-Q, and gel chromatography. Molecular weight (M.W.) of the protease was estimated to be 27kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS­PAGE). The amino acid composition of the protease was different from that of protease from P. japonicus or trypsin from P. orientalis. The protease was completely inhibited by benzamidine, $N\alpha-p-tosyl-L-lysine$ chloromethyl ketone (TLCK), and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and was not affected by leupeptin, pepstatin, N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK), iodoacetate, and ethylenediamine tetra acetate (EDTA). The enzyme did not have any activity against Na-benzoyl-DL-arginine p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) or N-benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester (BTEE) which are specific substrates of trypsin and chymotrypsin, respectively. However, the protease showed hydrolytic activity for a carboxyl terminal of Tyr, Trp, Phe, Glu, and Cys.

A protease, which had no tryptic and chymotryptic activity, was purified from the hepatopancreas of shrimp, P. japonicus, through ammonium sulfate fractionation, Q­Sepharose ionic exchange, benzamidine Sepharose 6B affinity, and Sephacryl S-100 gel chromatography. Molecular weight (M.W.) of the protease was estimated to be 24 kDa by gel filtration and showed a single peptide band by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The protease had a low ratio of acidic to basic amino acids, which is different with pro teases from marine animals. The enzyme was partially inhibited by benzamidine, tosyl-L-lysine chioromethyl ketone (TLCK), phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI), and pepstatin. The enzyme did not have any activity against benzoyl-D,L-arginine p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) or benzoyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester (BTEE) which is a specific substrate of trypsin and chymotrypsin, respectively. However, the enzyme showed activity forward N-CBZ-L-tyrosine p-nitrophenyl ester (CBZ-Tyr-pNE), N­CBZ-L-tryptophan p-nitrophenyl ester (CBZ-Trp-pNE), and N-CBZ-L-proline p-nitrophenyl ester (CBZ-Pro-pNE). The protease did not showed tryptic and chymotryptic activity, which was not reported in shrimp hepatopancreas.

This study was devised to elucidate whether soused shrimp exhibits a digestive action on boiled pork meats. and the mechanism by which sousing with a high concentration of sodium chloride preserves nutrients in foods for a prolonged pe\ulcornerriod. Protease was isolated from soused shrimp using a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation. DEAE - cellulose ion exchange chromatography and gel filtra\ulcornertion. The isolated protease had specific activity of 1.560 units. 210 purification fo\ulcornerld with an yield of 38%. Its optimum pH and temperature were 8.0 and $43^{\circ}C$ respectively. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 35.000. The Km value of the enzyme for casein was 1.6 x $10^{-6}$ M The e=yme required the presence of cu\ulcornerpric ion to exhibit its full activity. Eighty eight percent of the enzyme activity was in\ulcornerhibited by 3.5M NaCI showing a reversibly linear decrease of the enzyme activity as NaCI concentration increased. The nature of the inhibition by NaCl was rever\ulcornersible and noncompetitive. The protease activity in soused shrimp was well preser\ulcornerved with the elapse of time at least in part due to NaCI induced suppression of autodigestion. The enzyme was denatured by acid easily. i.e. 1% of the original activity remained after staying at pH 2 for 10 minutes. which is within the norm\ulcorneral range of pH of the human stomach. Soused shrimp was observed to be one of those containing the highest protease activity compared with the other soused foo\ulcornerds such as soused oyster. squid. clam. and Pollack intestine with respect to spec\ulcornerific activities of dialized 1:4 whole homogenates(w/v) in 5 mM sodium phospha\ulcornerte - 2.4 mM j3 - mercaptoethanol buffer. pH 8.0. Casein and boiled meats including pork, beef, and chicken appeared to be the good substrates for the protease. Casein was the best. Therefore. the ingestion of boiled meats including pork together with soused sh\ulcornerrimp would help digestion of boiled pork in human not only by increasing appe\ulcornertite also by the direct proteolytic digestion of boiled meats by soused shrimp to\ulcorner some extent. And a high concentration of sodium chloride inhibited the protease activity reversibly in a remarkable degree, which ensued in a significant retardat\ulcornerion of autodigestion of protein in foods by proteases, and hereby contributed to the preservation of foods for an extended period.

A chitinase (CHT) and a protease (PRO) were purified from the culture supernatant of Serratia sp. TKU017, with shrimp shell as the sole carbon/nitrogen source. The molecular masses of CHT and PRO determined by SDS-PAGE were approximately 65 kDa and 53 kDa, respectively. CHT was inhibited by $Mn^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$, and PRO was inhibited by most tested divalent metals and EDTA. The optimum pH, optimum temperature, pH stability, and thermal stability of CHT and PRO were pH 5, $50^{\circ}C$, pH 5-7, and <$50^{\circ}C$, and pH 9, $40^{\circ}C$, pH 5-11, and <$40^{\circ}C$, respectively. PRO retained 95% of its protease activity in the presence of 0.5 mM SDS. The result demonstrates that PRO is an SDS-resistant protease and probably has a rigid structure. The $4^{th}$-day supernatant showed the strongest antioxidant activity (70%, DPPH scavenging ability) and the highest total phenolic content ($196{\pm}6.2\;{\mu}g$ of gallic acid equiv./ml). Significant associations between the antioxidant potency and the total phenolic content, as well as between the antioxidant potency and free amino groups, were found for the supernatant. With this method, we have shown that shrimp shell wastes can be utilized and it is effective in the production of enzymes and antioxidants, facilitating its potential use in industrial applications and functional foods.

저 염 세우젓을 제조하기 위하여 식염농도를 각각 10%, 15% 및 20%로 조절한 새우젓에 감마 선을 조사한 후 15$^{\circ}C$에서 발효시키면서 아미노태 질소, 휘발성 염기태 질소, trimethylamine 및 단백질분해효소의 할성변화를 조사하였다. 감마선 조사직후 아미노태 질소, 휘발성 염기 태 질소, trimethylamine 함량 및 단백질 분해효소 활성은 감마선 조사에 의해 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 발효기간 동안 아미노태 질소, 휘발성 염기태 질소 및 trimethylamine 함량은 증가하였으나, 효소활성은 발효 4~5주까지 계속 증가하다가 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히 15% 식염첨가와 10kGy의 감마선 조사 및 20% 식염첨가와 5~7.5kGy 이상의 감마선 조사를 병용처리한 새우젓의 경우, 30% 식염성 염기태 질소, trimethylamine 함량 및 단백질분해효소 활성이 비슷한 수준으로 발혀기간 동안 적정 수준 의 함량 및 활성을 나타내었다.

새우젓의 육류단백질 분해 특성을 파악하기 위하여 전기투석기를 이용하여 탈염하여 조효소액을 조제하였다. 새우젓의 염도는 전기투석 후 2% 이하로 낮아졌으며 투석 시간이 경과할수록 조효소액의 protease activity는 증가하였다. 새우젓 조효소액에 우육, 돈육, 계육 등의 육류 전근육단백질을 기질로 하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 반응시켜 SDS-PAGE로 근원섬유 단백질의 분해양상을 측정하였다. 새우젓 조효소액은 매우 강력하게 육류단백질을 분해하였으며 가열 처리 및 비가열처리 기질 모두 원활히 분해하는 특성이 있었다. 이러한 육류 단백질 분해는 특히 가열 처리한 육류에서 더 크게 나타나 5분 이내에 거의 모든 근육 단백질 단백질의 분해가 일어났다. 가열변성된 기질을 사용하여 조효소액의 분해능을 측정하였을 때 계육의 분해가 가장 원활히 일어났으며 그 다음이 돈육, 우육의 순이었다.
