Resumen
Scientific studies about decapod crustaceans’ digestive physiology have increased, being an important topic with novel results in the last years. This revision aims to show how the study of crustacean peptidases has evolved, from the classical biochemical characterization studies to the assessment of their usefulness in biotechnological and industrial processes, with emphasis on commercial species of interest to world aquaculture and fisheries. First studies determined the proteolytic activity of the midgut gland crude extracts and evaluated the optimum biochemical properties of specific enzymes. Peptidase’s identity was determined using inhibitors and specific protein substrates on tube tests and electrophoresis gels. Later, various studies focused on the characterization of purified peptidases and their gene expression. Recently, the integrated mechanisms of enzyme participation during the digestive process of food protein have been established using novel techniques. Scientific research has revealed some of the potential biotechnological applications of crustacean peptidases in the food industry and other processes. However, the knowledge field is enormous, and there is much to explore and study in the coming years.
