Changes in Hydrogen Sulfide and Sulfhydryl Content of Heated Beef Adipose Tissue

Abstract
SUMMARY— Beef adipose tissue was separated into the water soluble, salt soluble and insoluble (water‐salt‐ether) fractions, and the amount of H, S evolved upon heating each of the fractions was determined. The yield of H, S per 100 g of adipose tissue was 17.6, 1.7 and 5.5 μM for the water soluble, salt soluble and insoluble fractions, respectively. Thus, the water soluble fraction contributed about 71% of the H, S, while the corresponding contributions from the salt soluble and the insoluble fractions amounted to approximately 7 and 22%, respectively.
