Abstract

The effects of non-ionic (sorbitol, maltose, trehalose) and ionic compounds (Na-glutamate, Na-acetate, Na-sulfate, ammonium sulfate) on freeze denaturation of myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) and of myofibrils were compared. Sugars, Na-glutamate and Na-acetate well suppressed the freeze denaturation of myofibrils as well as S-1 in a concentration dependent manner. Although sulfate suppressed freeze denaturation of S-1 irregularly, it accelerated myofibril denaturation. It was concluded that sulfate salts were useless as cryoprotectant for myofibrils. Stabilization extent by F-actin in frozen storage was much less than that in heating.
