Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the endogenous cathepsin activity in each subcellular fraction and the effect of this activity on myofibrillar protein and texture during refrigeration and partial freezing storage of northern pike (Esox lucius) fillets. The results showed that fillets stored under the refrigerated condition were more susceptible to oxidation than partial freezing. Endogenous cathepsin activity indicated that partial freezing destroys the integrity of lysosomes more effectively than refrigeration and inhibits the increase in cathepsin B and B ? L in lysosomes. The activity of cathepsin B and B ? L in lysosomes, mitochondria and myofibrils under the partial freezing conditions was always lower than that under refrigeration. Texture analysis showed that refrigeration

had a negative impact on hardness and springiness. In conclusion, the cathepsin activity in each subcellular fraction was effectively inhibited and better textural characteristics were obtained with partial freezing than refrigeration.

Introduction Northern pike (Esox lucius) is distributed in cold waters in North America and northern Eurasia. As the top predator in inland waters (Samarin et al., 2016), northern pike is popular for its high nutritional value, low fat content and digestibility. However, due to the geographical limitations of northern pike growth conditions, it takes a long time to transport northern pike from the location of capture to market. Therefore, an efficient storage method to maintain fillet freshness is required to maintain the gratifying sensory attributes and extend the shelf life of the northern pike. Fresh fishes are highly susceptible to softening and deteriorating due to their biological composition. To reduce the impact of food waste by humans, it is especially important to save food for a long time (Kachele et al., 2017). The most important controllable factor affecting the freshness, quality and shelf life of fish is temperature. T
