The substance which shows streaming birefringence in the water-extracted solution of sea cucumber meat is considered to be the suspended fibrous matter of collagen fiber, rather than to be some dissolved proteins. On the contrary, in the case of squid meat, substance which shows streaming birefringence is suggested by electrophoretic examination to be a dissolved protein (viz., myosins). The phenomenon of streaming birefringence in the extract of ?? ea cucumber meat should be discussed from the histological characteristics.
