“…Thus, it was revealed that the TP protectant tested in this study could lessen the decrease in the Ca 2+ -ATPase activity and have a protective effect on the myofibrillar protein from the large yellow croaker. This was in agreement with previous results using other protectants, such as oligosaccharides (Chou & Lin, 2010), konjac glucomannan (Xiong et al, 2009), and soybean trypsin inhibitor (Jiang et al, 2006). Differences in Ca 2+ -ATPase activity can possibly be attributed to different susceptibility to denaturation of muscle protein during handling as well the differences in the native structure of the protein (Benjakul, Visessanguan, Thongkaew, & Tanaka, 2003).…”
