Molecular characterization of a novel aspartyl aminopeptidase that contributes to the increase in glutamic acid content in chicken meat during cooking

The enzyme involved in the increase in glutamic acid content in chicken meat during cooking was identified and characterized. Chicken homogenate produced significantly more free glutamic acid and exhibited higher glutamyl p-nitroanilide (Glu-pNA) hydrolyzing activity than beef when heat cooked. Amin...
