Ficin 처리시 우육의 단백질 분해에 관한 연구 V. 투과형 전자현미경에 의한 관찰

The morphological changes of fresh beef treated with ficin(0.1% : 2 hrs, 6 hrs)were examined with transmission electron microscope(TEM), the results obtained were as follows ; Connective tissue protein in fresh beef treated with ficin became gradually fragmentation and was occurred solubilization with time The length of sarcomere in myofibrillar protein was elongated, M-line became dim, and the 1-band of Z-line was broken and beck me fragmentation with time.
