Lipoxygenase activity of selected tissues and organs of Baltic herring

Abstract: 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.

“…LOX exists in higher plants and gill, muscle and skin of fish and is capable of initiating the oxidation of PUFAs to produce unstable hydroperoxides . LOX has been found in several fish skin, including trout , Baltic herring , sardine , herring , lake herring and Nile tilapia . It was noted that the marked increase in LOX activity was observed after 9 days of storage.…”

“…Lipoxygenase was extracted with 10.0 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), according to the Harris and Tall (1994) method modified by Stodolnik and Samson (2000). The activity of lipoxygenase was studied through incubation according to the Slabyj and Hultin (1984) method with some modifications (Stodolnik and Samson, 2000). The enzyme activity was expressed according to the malondialdehyde content (nmol malondialdehyde/mg protein) produced after 24 h incubation of the mixture.…”

“…Lipoxygenase was extracted with 10.0 mmol L −1 phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), according to the Harris and Tall47 method, modified by Stodolnik and Samson 48. Enzyme activity was expressed according to the malondialdehyde content (nmol malondialdehyde mg −1 protein) produced after 24 h incubation of an enzyme extract–hydro‐lipid emulsion mixture 48, 49…”

“…Previous research on frozen storage of fatty fish has shown that the development of endogenous rancidity is the main cause of quality loss 3, 12. Among the different enzymatic systems available, lipoxygenase has attracted a great deal of attention in the case of fatty fish (sardine, mackerel and herring) 5, 13, 48. In the present results, the reduction in lipoxygenase activity due to the soaking treatment could be observed at 1 month, in agreement with the removal effect of water washing during soaking 62, 63…”
