Abstract

Salt concentration of Walleye pollack minced meat was adjusted to 0.14-2.1M by soaking in 3M NaCI (pH7.0) for various periods at 4°C.<br> During dehydration of the cured meat by leaving at 30°C, changes of NaCl concentration, Ca-ATPase activity, and myosin heavy chain in the meat were investigated.<br> On dehydration for 24h, NaCl in the cured meat was concentrated to 2.5 times of its original value. At the same time, the formation of cross-linked myosin heavy chain hardly occurred in the meat containing 0.14M NaCl, but largely occurred in the meat containing 0.9-1.8M NaCl. In the meat containing 2.0-2.1M NaCl, almost no further change was observed because myosin heavy chain had already been cross-linked during the soaking in the NaCl solution.<br> It was thus concluded that the cross-linking reaction of myosin heavy chain in the cured meat caused by dehydration depended on the soaking condition such as the concentration of NaCl and the period.
