Application of pepsin enzyme from yellowfin tuna gastrics on the physical and histological characteristics of beef

The increase in tuna production in Indonesia has introduced waste-management challenges. Utilizing pepsin from tuna stomachs for beef tenderization is a potential solution for the food industry. This study aimed to assess the effects of different pepsin concentrations on beef characteristics. This s...

description The increase in tuna production in Indonesia has introduced waste-management challenges. Utilizing pepsin from tuna stomachs for beef tenderization is a potential solution for the food industry. This study aimed to assess the effects of different pepsin concentrations on beef characteristics. This study used a completely randomized factorial design with one factor: beef was treated with 0, 14,000, and 28,000 U/mg pepsin and stored at 4 °C for four days. The results showed that 28,000 U/mg pepsin significantly lowered pH, decreased weight percentage change, increased water-holding capacity, and reduced texture compared to other treatments. Histological examination revealed gradual degradation of meat structure, especially in collagen-deficient areas. Tuna stomach pepsin plays a crucial role in altering the physical and histological characteristics of the beef.
