Abstract:An extract from paddlefish surimi possessed activities of B, L, and H‐like cathepsins. The optimal pH was around 5.0 for cathepsins B and L, and was between 6.0–6.5 for the H‐like cathepsin. The enzyme activities were not impaired by heating at 40Cfor 20 min. However, the protease extract lost about 20% of its cathepsin B, 50% B+L, and 90% H‐like cathepsin activities after heating at 50C for 20 min. The activity of H‐like cathepsin was not inhibited by E‐64, suggesting that it did not belong to ike known cysteme protease group. The protease extract was capable ofhydrolyzing myosin heavy chain, producing a major fragments) around 140 kDa. Degradation of myosin by the protease extract was substantially reduced by protease inhibitors including E‐64, a protease inhibitor mixture, and bovine plasma powder.
