소의 도체로부터 사태, 갈비 및 등심을 분리하고 8℃에 저장하면서 actomyosin을 추출하여 부위별 저장기간에 따라 추출성 및 ATPase활성을 비교하였다. Actin과 myosin이 유리되어 형성된 actomyosin의 추출성은 저장초기 사태, 갈비 및 등심이 각각 36.74, 72.55 및 56.77㎎/g이었으며, 저장기간에 의한 추출양상은 갈비와 등심이 비슷하였고, 사태는 이들과 다르게 진행되었다. 사태의 Mg- 및 Ca-ATPase활성은 저장 3일까지 상승하다가 6일째 감소하였고, 갈비는 저장기간 동안 비슷하였으며, 등심은 저장기간에 따라 조금씩 낮아지는 경향이었다. 그리고 Mg- 및 Ca-ATPase활성은 사태, 등심 및 갈비의 순으로 크게 나타났다. 사태와 갈비의 EDTA-ATPase활성은 저장기간과 이온강도에 따라 차이를 보였지만 등심은 이온강도가 커짐에 따라 계속 상승하였다.

This study was carried out to compare the extractability and ATPase activity of actomyosin extracted shank, rib and loin muscle of beef meat stored at 8℃. The extractability of actomyosin in shank, rib and loin muscle were 36.74, 72.55 and 56.77㎎/g early in the storage, respectively. The extractability of the rib and loin muscle were similar, the shank muscle was processed differently with their. The Mg- and Ca-ATPase activity of the shank muscle rised to 3 days, but decreased the 6th day. And Mg-and Ca-ATPase activity of the rib muscle was similar during storage period, the loin muscle made a slow descent. The strength of Mg- and Ca-ATPase activity showed in the order shank, rib and loin muscle. The EDTA-ATPase activity of the shank and rib muscle was difference according to storage period and ionic strength, but the loin muscle was increase in succession with magnitude of ionic strength.
