The research is within degradation of proteins in fish muscle in relation to quality changes. Changes in fish muscle proteins during storage and processing has a large impact on quality of fish and final products sensory properties. The muscles own protein degrading enzymes (proteases) play an important role in changes of muscle proteins.
 
 The research is focused on relation between activity of different muscle proteases, breakdown of muscle proteins and development of sensory properties – primary texture. Research includes measurement and characterisation of protease activity and analysis of break down products (peptides/amino acids) including purification and characterisation of marine bioactive peptides from fish by products with potential use in food, pet food and health food.
