Abstract

This study investigated the extractability, solubility, Mg$^{2+}$-, Ca$^{2+}$- and EDTA-ATPase activity of actomyosin prepared from leg and breast muscle of dog meat. The actomyosin extractability of breast muscle(2,100.6 mg/l00 g) was higher than that of leg muscle(500.8 mg/l00 g). The Mg$^{2+}$-ATPase activity of actomyosin had a high ionic strength of 0.02$\sim$0.05 M KCI and did not differ between leg and breast muscle. The Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase activity of actomyosin had a high ionic strength of 0.02$\sim$0.10 M KCI and leg muscle had a higher level of Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase activity than breast muscle did. The EDTA-ATPase activity was lower in low ionic strength and showed higher in high ionic strength, and increased sharply with increasing ionic strength up to 0.3 M KCI. The solubility of actomyosin did not differ between leg and breast muscle, and the solubility started and ended at KCI concentrations of 0.35 M and 0.4 M, respectively.
