Activity of lipoxygenase of the muscle tissue, skin, gills, fins, and gonads of Baltic herring (Clupea harengus L) was analysed. Effect of gonad maturity (the fishing season) on the activity of this enzyme present in the muscle tissue was demonstrated. The substrate specificity of the enzyme was also determined.
The oxidation rate of the lipids of minced muscle tissue of the Baltic herring was analyzed. The tissue had been stored for 3 months at the temperature of-25°C, with addition of plant raw materials: hawthorn flower (0.5%), elder flower (0.5%), and the mixture of those flowers (0.25% + 0.25%) supple menting buthylated hydroxyanisole (BHA)-a synthetic phe nolic antioxidant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
