| Abstract | Marine prawns (M. dobsoni and P. indicus) and sardines (S. longiceps) were cleaned, beheaded, packaged in thin gauge polyethylene bags and stored in ice. The method of Paul [Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (1966) 14 (5) 490] was employed for extracting and determining protein fractions (sarcoplasmic, myofibrillar, stroma, denatured) during storage for up to 13 days. The method is described and results are tabulated. Sarcoplasmic protein N decreased by 3-6% in all species during the storage period. Myofibrillar protein N decreased by 15-20% in prawns and by 3% in sardines. Denatured protein N increased by 20-25% in prawns and by 10% in sardines. Stroma protein N showed a slight increase (0.5-2.0%) in all species. |
