Below freezing point, the pepsin

  • becomes over activated

  • gets destroyed

  • remains unaffected

  • gets inactivated


D.

gets inactivated

Pepsin is a non- specific protease. It gets activated at acidic pH (2.0) and is deactivated at neutral or alkaline pH. This is because pepsin moves from the stomach into the duodenum. 

The freezing temperature is a temperature at which liquid becomes solid. Pepsin gets inactivated below freezing point because low temperature inactivates the enzymes and increase the frequency of collisions and the formation of enzyme- substrate complex.
