(a) Effect of temperature on protease stability (●) 50°C; (◯) 55°C; (▾) 60°C. (b) Effect of stabilizers on heat inactivation at 50°C. (c) Effect of stabilizers on heat inactivation at 55°C. (d) Effect of stabilizers on heat inactivation at 60°C. For (b), (c), and (d) the original activity before preincubation was taken as 100%. Values are means of three independent determinations.
