Activated partial thrombin time (aPTT) of abalone processing waste extracts and AEC pooled fractions. (A, A-3) canned abalone digested with papain, bromelain and a combination of papain and bromelain and their respective AEC pool 3 and 4 while (B, B-3), liquid abalone samples digested with papain, bromelain and a combination of papain and bromelain and their respective AEC pool 3 and 4. * Statistical significance determined using a one way ANOVA with Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison Test compared to saline control with * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01. Heparin standard did not form a clot even at very low concentration. It showed that the heparin standard is many times stronger in aPTT activity compare to abalone extract and anion exchanged pools.
