Baltic blue mussels Mytilus trossulus were collected from the Gulf of Gdańsk (southern Baltic Sea) in order to isolate ferritin from its soft tissues, as well as to purify and characterise this protein. Proteins were isolated from the inner organs of M. trossulus (hepatopancreas, gills and soft tissue residue) by thermal denaturation (70◦C) and acidification (pH 4.5) of the homogenates, followed by ammonium sulphate ((NH4)2SO4) fractionation. The ferritin was then separated by ultracentrifugation (100 000×g, 120 min.). The protein content in the purified homogenates was determined by the Lowry method using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and horse spleen ferritin (HSF) as standards. PAGE-SDS and Western blotting analysis permitted identification of ferritin in the purified preparations. Additionally, the purified homogenates and mussel soft tissue were analysed for their heavy metal contents (especially cadmium and iron) in a Video 11 E atomic absorption spectrophotometer, following wet digestion of the samples (HNO3/HClO4). The electrophoregrams showed that the inner organs of M. trossulus contained ferritin, which, like plant ferritin, is characterised by the presence of subunits in the electrophoregram in the 26.6–28.0 kDa range. The highest ferritin content was recorded in the hepatopancreas, followed by the gills and the soft tissue residue. With regard to the sampling stations, the highest content of ferritin was noted in the animals sampled off Sopot (station D3), and in those collected by a diver off Jastarnia (W1) and Gdynia (W4). Ferritin isolated from the inner organs of mussels collected from these stations also contained the largest quantities of heavy metals (Cd and Fe). Ferritin isolated from the inner organs of mussels collected by a diver from wrecks – sites where the concentrations of iron and other trace metals in the sea water are high – contained higher quantities of heavy metals (Cd and Fe) than the ferritin isolated from the inner organs of mussels collected with the drag. This confirms that ferritin is a protein able to store and transport not only iron, but also, though to a lesser extent, some other heavy metals, including cadmium.
The muscles and internal organs of marine animals contain many proteases. These enzymes fulfill different metabolic functions in the living organisms and affect the sensory quality and functional properties of the catch. Their activity depends on the species, life cycle, and the feeding status of the organism. Many proteases of marine origin differ from their counterparts in terrestrial animals in being more active at lower temperature and less resistant to thermal denaturation. Of practical importance in the industry is their role in ripening of salted fish, fish sauces and marinades, modyfying fish protein concentrates, ensilaging of seafood offal, and deskinning of fishery products. The negative effects comprise mainly the early post morten quality degradation of the catch and deterioration of the rheological properties of fish gels. Proteolytic preparations form different marine sources may be used successfully in food processing and as industrial enzymes, e. g. tanning agents.
