| food industry | Sus scrofa liver extracts with a high degree of FeCH activity are postulated as potential food ingredients for the meat industry, due to their ability to catalyse Zn-protoporphyrin (ZnPP) formation | Sus scrofa |
| General Stability | Organism |
|---|---|
| influence of Sus scrofa liver drying as a stabilisation method on ferrochelatase activity for zinc protoporphyrin formation, overview. The drying process at moderate temperatures close to room conditions (10-20 C) is considered to be an effective method for FeCH preservation since it is possible to stabilise the liver, and the loss of FeCH activity is minimised, drying kinetics and mathematical model fitting | Sus scrofa |
