[On the enzymatic breakdown of tripolyphosphate and diphosphate in minced meat. III. Occurence of diphosphatases in muscular tissue (authors' transl)].

After a review on the present knowledge of the occurence of diphosphatases in muscular tissue own data of the diphosphatase acitivity in the bovine longissimus muscle of nine animals are reported. Remarkable differences between animals were observed, the diphosphatase activity being much lower than the tripolyphosphatase activity.
