| Contrary to other preservation methods like thermal treatments, high pressure can destroy microorganisms without affecting the nutritional quality, color, or food texture. The firm texture of fish flesh is an important quality parameter. During the refrigerated storage, the tissue becomes softer and the muscle is deteriorated by different proteases. The aim of this study was to study the modification of the fish muscle proteins after high-pressure treatment during the refrigerated storage and to evaluate the effect of high-pressure treatment level on the post-mortem protein changes and enzyme activities. The calpain activity decreased with the high-pressure treatment and evolved differently during the refrigerated storage, depending on the level of... |
