Partial purification and characterization of proteases from the visceral waste of Indian major carp, Labeo Rohita (Hamilton, 1822)

Acidic and alkaline proteases from visceral waste of Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822) were isolated, partially purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by dialysis, their kinetics and characteristics studied. The purification fold increased from 1.24 to 2.49 and 1.19 to 1.55 in acidic and alkaline protease respectively along the purification steps.
