TitleA new colorimetric measurement of fish freshness using nucleoside oxidase  ( Document )
Author(s) / Editor(s)Isono Y
DescriptionAgriculture and Biological Chemistry 54(11) 2827-2832.

A simple and rapid colorimetric method for the measurement of the freshness of fish meat was developed using a nucleoside oxidase-catalyzed oxidative coupling reaction. Fish freshness can be expressed by the K1 value according to the following equation 1): K1(%)=100(HxR+Hx)/(IMP+HxR+Hx). To measure the K1 value, hypoxanthine (Hx) and inosine-5'-monophosphate (IMP) were converted to inosine (HxR) by nucleosiide phosphorylase and alkaline phosphatase, respectively, and then HxR was oxidized by nucleoside oxidase in the presence of N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl)-3,5-dimethoxyaniline sodium salt (DAOS) and 4-aminoantipyrine. The amount of colored substance formed was proportional to the amounts of these compounds. One assay was completed within 10 min and good comparative results were obtained between the K1 value from the proposed method and from the HPLC method. A method for measuring HxR, Hx, and IMP ratios was also developed. SPOILAGE FRESHNESS TESTING NUCLEOTIDES
