✦ Synopsis
The activity of muscle aminopeptidase B, alanyl aminopeptidase, acid lipase and acid esterase were assayed in pork muscles of different metabolic type. The muscles were Masseter, Trapezius, Semimembranosus, Biceps Femoris and Longissimus dorsi and some significant differences (P > 0.05) were found in enzyme activities. Alanyl aminopeptidase showed lower activity in Masseter and Biceps femoris while aminopeptidase B had lower activity in Biceps femoris. Acid lipase and acid esterase showed lower activity in Trapezius and higher in Masseter. However, no clear relationship could be established between the assayed enzyme activities and the metabolism of the muscles.
