Answer

When testing the effect of temperature on pepsin enzyme activity, the results showed that pepsin worked best at the temperature 30 °C. When the temperature decreased to 22 °C, the enzyme activity decreased sharply. Turbot and redfish retained almost half of the activity at low temperatures (5 °C).
