Studies on the Aging of Beef at Adding the Proteolytic Enzyme -VI. Effects of Papain Treatment on the Enzymatic Digestibility of Beef-

단백질(蛋白質) 분해효소(分解酵素) 첨가시(添加時) 우육(牛肉)의 숙성(熟成)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究) -VI. Papain처리(處理)가 우육(牛肉)의 소화율(消化率)에 미치는 영향(影響)-

In vitro digestibility study using pepsin was conducted on round muscle previously treated with papain and the change in the amounts of liberated amino nitrogen was followed during the time course of digestion procedure. The obtained results were summarized as follows. 1. As compared with control, enzyme treatment groups had higher digestibility and curtailed digestion time. 2. All the enzyme treatment groups showed the highest digestibility between 6 and 10 hours in the course of digestion procedure. 3. The amounts of liberated amino nitrogen were increased similarly to digestibility and digestion time. 4. As compared with control, enzyme treatment groups showed considerably higher amounts of liberated amino nitrogen, the liberation rate being the highest between 2 and 8 hours of digestion time.

한우(韓牛)의 round muscle에 papain으로 일차(一次) 분해(分解)시킨 후 pepsin에 의한 in vitro소화율(消化率)과 소화과정중(消化過程中) 생성(生成)되는 amino 태(態)-N의 경분적(經分的)인 변화(變化)를 실험(實驗)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. 효소처리구(酵素處理區)가 대조구(對照區)에 비(比)하여 소화율(消化率)도 높았으며 소화시간(消化時間)도 단축되었다. 2. 효소처리구(酵素處理區)는 소화과정중(消化過程中) $6{\sim}10$분간(分間)사이에 소화율(消化率)이 현저하게 증가(增加)하였다. 3. amino태(態)-N는 소화율(消化率)과 소화시간(消化時間)에 거의 비슷하게 증가(增加)하였다. 4. 대조구(對照區)에 비(比)하여 효소처리구(酵素處理區)가 amino태(態)-N 생성량(生成量)이 현저하게 높았으며$2{\sim}8$시간(時間)사이에서 그 증가율(增加率)이 가장 높았다.
