The amount of proteins extracted by distilled deionised
water and 1.0 M brine, respectively, ranged from
24.20.7 to 42.81.3 and from 63.51.2 to 86.75.4
mg g1 mince (Table 2). After extraction in distilled
deionised water, an increase in protein extractability
was observed from pH 6.25 to pH 7.50 while, after
extraction in 1.0 M brine, protein extractability varied
with pH, but a general increase from pH 6.25 to pH
7.50 was observed.
