Protein hydrolysates from meriga (Cirrhinus mrigala) egg and evaluation of their functional properties

Protein hydrolysates from underutilised meriga (Cirrhinus mrigala) fish egg were prepared by using commercial Alcalase and papain enzymes. The degree of hydrolysis was 62% for Alcalase and 17.1% for papain, after 90 min digestion at 50–55 and 60–65 °C, respectively. The protein content of Alcalase-produced hydrolysate was higher (85%) than that of papain hydrolysate (70%) (p < 0.05). Hydrolysis by both enzymes increased protein solubility of fish egg protein hydrolysates to above 72.4% over a wide pH range (2–12). Results showed that the hydrolysates had good fat absorption capacity (0.9 and 1.0 g/g sample), foam capacity (70% and 25%) and emulsifying capacity (4.25 and 5.98 ml/g hydrolysate), respectively for Alcalase and papain protein hydrolysates. Gel filtration chromatograms and SDS–PAGE analysis indicated the distribution of smaller peptides. These results suggested that fish egg protein hydrolysates could be useful in the food industry.     

Optimization of the production of Momordica charantia L. Var. abbreviata Ser. protein hydrolysates with hypoglycemic effect using Alcalase

Momordica charantia L. Var. abbreviata Ser. protein was hydrolyzed using six different proteases. The results showed Alcalase 2.4L to have the best hydrolyzing capacity, followed by Pancreatin. In addition, Alcalase hydrolysate had stronger hypoglycemic effect than that of Pancreatin hydrolysate at the same dose. Alcalase was chosen to produce M. charantia L. Var. abbreviata Ser. protein hydrolysates (MCPHs) with hypoglycemic effect. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the hydrolysis conditions using Alcalase. Model equation was proposed with regard to the effect of enzyme/substrate ratio, pH and temperature. The optimum values for enzyme/substrate ratio, pH and temperature were found to be 2.37%, 9.2 and 57 °C respectively.     

不同苦荞蛋白酶解产物抗氧化活性研究

以苦荞蛋白作为底物,采用碱性蛋白酶Alcalase 2.4 L、木瓜蛋白酶、胃蛋白酶、胰蛋白酶以及胃蛋白酶加胰蛋白酶模拟体内蛋白消化,制备苦荞麦蛋白水解物。采用DPPH及ABTS~+·法比较不同的蛋白水解物与水解前苦荞蛋白的体外抗氧化活性。结果表明:不同蛋白酶水解产物水解度由高到低的顺序为:碱性蛋白酶胃蛋白酶~胰蛋白酶胃蛋白酶木瓜蛋白酶胰蛋白酶,其中碱性蛋白酶水解苦荞蛋白水解度达29.95%。苦荞蛋白本身具有一定的抗氧化能力,其中DPPH清除率及ABTS~+·清除率最高分别达71.91%及11.25%,但均显著低于阳性对照Vc。随着水解程度的增加,苦荞蛋白水解产物抗氧化能力逐渐增强。其中,以碱性蛋白酶酶解产物抗氧化活性最高,其DPPH清除率及ABTS~+·清除率最高分别为91.65%(0.5 mg/mL)及16.67%(1 mg/mL),均显著高于原苦荞蛋白。其中,碱性蛋白酶水解产物的DPPH自由基清除率在高浓度(0.5mg/mL)条件下,与阳性对照Vc持平。同时碱性蛋白酶酶解产物抗氧化性(DPPH清除率及ABTS~+·清除率)显著优于其他蛋白酶解产物。因此,苦荞麦蛋白采用碱性蛋白酶解制备苦荞水解产物可作为天然的抗氧化剂。     

Antioxidative and functional properties of protein hydrolysate from defatted skipjack (Katsuwonous pelamis) roe

Antioxidative and functional properties of protein hydrolysate from defatted skipjack (Katsuwonous pelamis) roe, hydrolysed by Alcalase 2.4 L (RPH) with different degrees of hydrolysis (DH) at various concentrations were examined. As DH increased, the reduction of DPPH, ABTS radicals scavenging activities and reducing power were noticeable (p < 0.05). The increases in metal chelating activity and superoxide scavenging activity were attained with increasing DH (p < 0.05). However, chelating activity gradually decreased at DH above 30%. All activities except superoxide anion radical scavenging activity increased as the concentration of hydrolysate increased (p < 0.05). Hydrolysis using Alcalase could increase protein solubility to above 80% over a wide pH range (2–10). The highest emulsion ability index (EAI) and foam stability (FS) of hydrolysates were observed at low DH (5%) (p < 0.05). Concentrations of hydrolysates determined interfacial properties differently, depending on DH. The molecular weight distribution of RPH with 5%DH (RPH5) was determined using Sephadex G-75 column. Two major peaks with the molecular weight of 57.8 and 5.5 kDa were obtained. Fraction with MW of 5.5 had the strongest metal chelating activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity. The results reveal that protein hydrolysates from defatted skipjack roe could be used as food additives possessing both antioxidant activity and functional properties.

Comparison of hydrolysis characteristics on defatted peanut meal proteins between a protease extract from Aspergillus oryzae and commercial proteases

A crude protease extract (CPE) was prepared from Aspergillus oryzae HN 3.042 in this work. Three commercial proteases (Alcalase 2.4L, Protamex and papain) and CPE were employed to hydrolyse defatted peanut meal (DPM). CPE was found to be the most effective protease with protein recovery of 80.6%. Moreover, CPE produced a higher degree of hydrolysis (DH, 43.4%) than the tested commercial proteases. The test of molecular weight distribution indicated that DPM proteins were mainly consisted of >10 KDa fraction (86.6%), whereas 3–6 KDa fraction was observed to be the main fraction of all the hydrolysates. CPE hydrolysate possessed a higher nutritional quality than DPM and other hydrolysates on the basis of FAO/WHO (1991) reference pattern. The sensory taste evaluation showed that CPE hydrolysate had better taste than other hydrolysates.     

Antioxidant and biochemical properties of protein hydrolysates prepared from Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)

The antioxidant and biochemical properties of enzymatically hydrolyzed silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) protein were studied. The molecular weight of the main peaks of the hydrolysates by both Alcalase and Flavourzyme was lower than 5000 Da. The hydrolysates treated by Alcalase for ?1.5 h (hydrolysis time) showed that the relative proportion of <1000 Da fraction was more than 60%. For the biochemical properties, hydrolysis by both enzymes increased protein solubility to above 75% over a wide pH range; and when the hydrolysis time was prolonged (>3 h), the colour of the hydrolysates turned yellowish. The protein hydrolysates exhibited significant hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity and inhibited linoleic acid peroxidation. For Alcalase treatment, the hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity and the inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation of hydrolysates appeared to reach a maximum level for 1.5, 2.0 h of hydrolysis, respectively; and their antioxidant activity was close to that of α-tocopherol in a linoleic acid emulsion system, and carnosine in the 2-deoxyribose oxidation system. The hydrolysate with lower molecular weight distribution possessed stronger Fe²⁺ chelation ability at a sample concentration of 5.0 mg/mL. The results suggested that the antioxidant activity of silver carp protein hydrolysates were related to its degree of hydrolysis (DH), hydrolysis time and molecular weight.     

Enzymatic preparation and functional properties of wheat gluten hydrolysates

The water-insolublity of wheat gluten is one of the major limitations for its more extensive use in food processing. Wheat gluten was enzymatically hydrolyzed by several commercially available proteases (Pancreatin Trypsin 6.0S, Porcine pepsin, Pancreatin and Alcalase 2.4L) with protein recovery varying from 42.5 ± 0.7% to 81.3 ± 0.1%. The hydrolytic efficiency of these proteases on wheat gluten was also compared. Alcalase served best for the preparation of wheat gluten hydrolysates (WGHs). Thus, Alcalase-assisted hydrolysates of wheat gluten (AWGHs) with different degrees of hydrolysis (DH 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0%) were further assessed for their functionalities. All the AWGHs had excellent solubility (>60%) over a pH range of 2–12. The emulsifying and foaming properties of AWGH with relatively low DH (5.0%) were remarkably higher compared to the original gluten. However, extensive hydrolysis of gluten resulted in remarkable reduction in emulsifying and foaming properties.     

Antioxidant activity of hydrolysates obtained from scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) and abalone (Haliotis discus hannai Ino) muscle

Scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) and abalone (Haliotis discus hannai Ino) muscle were hydrolysed with commercially available food-grade proteases. The resulting hydrolysates showed DPPH and hydroxyl radicals scavenging abilities, reducing power, and ferrous ion chelating capacity. The antioxidant activities of hydrolysate of abalone foot muscle (HAFM) increased with increasing incubation time during the whole hydrolysis process in 180 min. Whereas, the antioxidant activities of hydrolysate of scallop adductor muscle (HSAM) increased at initial stage and peaked after 25-30 min of hydrolysis, and then gradually decreased thereafter. Compared with HAFM, HSAM with comparable hydrolysis time contained more free amino acids (FAA) and small-sized peptides (below 500 Da), which may account for the differences in antioxidant activities versus hydrolysis time curves of the two hydrolysates. The above results indicate that limited hydrolysis of proteins can increase their antioxidant activity, whereas extensive hydrolysis can decrease it.     

Proteinase and exopeptidase hydrolysis of whey protein: Comparison of the TNBS,OPA and pH stat methods for quantification of degree of hydrolysis

Whey protein hydrolysates were generated with Alcalase 2.4L and Debitrase HYW20 which are proteinase and exopeptidase enriched enzyme preparations, respectively. Degree of hydrolysis (DH) values were quantified with the TNBS, OPA and pH stat methods. Poor correlation was observed between the three methods for DH values in Debitrase HYW20 hydrolysates. For Alcalase 2.4L hydrolysates, the OPA method gave DH values that were approximately 15% lower than the pH stat, whereas TNBS DH values were similar to the pH stat method. As whey proteins are relatively rich in cysteine, a weak and unstable reaction between OPA and cysteine was thought to contribute to the under-estimation of DH in whey protein hydrolysates. Since TNBS reacts strongly with cysteine and TNBS DH values were unaffected by the type of enzyme preparation used to generate the hydrolysate, the TNBS method was deemed most suitable for the quantification of DH in whey protein hydrolysates.     

Enzymatic hydrolysis of heated whey: iron-binding ability of peptides and antigenic protein fractions

This study evaluated the influence of various enzymes on the hydrolysis of whey protein concentrate (WPC) to reduce its antigenic fractions and to quantify the peptides having iron-binding ability in its hydrolysates. Heated (for 10 min at 100°C) WPC (2% protein solution) was incubated with 2% each of Alcalase, Flavourzyme, papain, and trypsin for 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, and 240 min at 50°C. The highest hydrolysis of WPC was observed after 240 min of incubation with Alcalase (12.4%), followed by Flavourzyme (12.0%), trypsin (10.4%), and papain (8.53%). The nonprotein nitrogen contents of WPC hydrolysate followed the hydrolytic pattern of whey. The major antigenic fractions (β-lactoglobulin) in WPC were degraded within 60 min of its incubation with Alcalase, Flavourzyme, or papain. Chromatograms of enzymatic hydrolysates of heated WPC also indicated complete degradation of β-lactoglobulin, α-lactalbumin, and BSA. The highest iron solubility was noticed in hydrolysates derived with Alcalase (95%), followed by those produced with trypsin (90%), papain (87%), and Flavourzyme (81%). Eluted fraction 1 (F-1) and fraction 2 (F-2) were the respective peaks for the 0.25 and 0.5 M NaCl chromatographic step gradient for analysis of hydrolysates. Iron-binding ability was noticeably higher in F-1 than in F-2 of all hydrolysates of WPC. The highest iron contents in F-1 were observed in WPC hydrolysates derived with Alcalase (0.2 mg/kg), followed by hydrolysates derived with Flavourzyme (0.14 mg/kg), trypsin (0.14 mg/kg), and papain (0.08 mg/kg). Iron concentrations in the F-2 fraction of all enzymatic hydrolysates of WPC were low and ranged from 0.03 to 0.05 mg/kg. Fraction 1 may describe a new class of iron chelates based on the reaction of FeSO₄·7H₂O with a mixture of peptides obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of WPC. The chromatogram of Alcalase F-1 indicated numerous small peaks of shorter wavelengths, which probably indicated a variety of new peptides with greater ability to bind with iron. Alcalase F-1 had higher Ala (18.38%), Lys (17.97%), and Phe (16.58%) concentrations, whereas the presence of Pro, Gly, and Tyr was not detected. Alcalase was more effective than other enzymes at producing a hydrolysate for the separation of iron-binding peptides derived from WPC.     

Antioxidative activity and functional properties of protein hydrolysate of yellow stripe trevally (Selaroides leptolepis) as influenced by the degree of hydrolysis and enzyme type

Antioxidative activity and functional properties of protein hydrolysates from yellow stripe trevally (Selaroides leptolepis) meat, hydrolyzed by Alcalase 2.4L (HA) and Flavourzyme 500L (HF) with different degrees of hydrolysis (DH) were investigated. As the DH increased, DPPH radical-scavenging activity and reducing power of HA decreased (p < 0.05) but no differences were observed for HF (p > 0.05). Metal chelating activity of both HA and HF increased with increasing DH (p < 0.05). HF generally had a higher (p < 0.05) chelating activity than had HA at the same DH tested. At low DH (5%), HA exhibited a better DPPH radical-scavenging activity while, at high DH (25%), HF had a higher (p < 0.05) reducing power. For the functional properties, hydrolysis by both enzymes increased protein solubility to above 85% over a wide pH range (2–12). When the DH increased, the interfacial activities (emulsion activity index, emulsion stability index, foaming capacity, foam stability) of hydrolysates decreased (p < 0.05), possibly caused by the shorter peptide chain length. At the same DH, the functionalities of protein hydrolysate depended on the enzyme used. The results reveal that antioxidative activity and functionalities of protein hydrolysates from yellow stripe trevally meat were determined by the DH and by the enzyme type employed.     

Bitterness in Bacillus proteinase hydrolysates of whey proteins

Whey protein concentrate (WPC) hydrolysates were generated with three commercially available Bacillus proteinase preparations (pH 7.0, 50 °C, 20% (w/v) WPC). Alcalase 2.4L hydrolysates were more bitter than Prolyve 1000 and Corolase 7089 hydrolysates when the proteinase activities were included at equivalent high and low addition levels. A glutamyl endopeptidase (GE) activity present in Alcalase was not detected in the Prolyve and Corolase preparations. Hydrolysate bitterness significantly increased when GE activity was included during Prolyve hydrolysis of WPC, indicating that inclusion of the GE activity was linked with the higher bitterness in Alcalase hydrolysates. A peptide present at higher levels in Prolyve compared to Alcalase hydrolysates was identified by mass spectrometry as β-lactoglobulin f(43–57). Hydrolysis of this peptide by GE was shown to release fragments with increased average hydrophobicity (Q-value). This may, in part, explain the higher level of bitterness associated with Alcalase compared to Prolyve hydrolysates of WPC.     

罗非鱼鱼皮鱼鳞蛋白的酶解及超滤分离

采用Alcalase2.4L、Protamex、Papain、PTN6.0S和Neutrase酶解罗非鱼鱼皮鱼鳞蛋白,探讨了超滤对酶解液分子质量分布和氨基酸组成的影响。结果表明,Alcalase2.4L、PTN6.0S酶解产物的蛋白质回收率、肽得率和水解度均较高,Alcalase2.4L∶PTN6.0S为1∶2添加时酶解效果最好,蛋白回收率为96.37%,水解度为13.24%,肽得率为83.13%。经超滤处理后,3000 u以下分子质量的肽段达到97.73%,比超滤前增加了5.37%,总氨基酸含量由84076.12 mg/100 g增加到97234.79 mg/100 g。     

Improvement of functional properties of chickpea proteins by hydrolysis with immobilised Alcalase

Limited chickpea protein hydrolysates ranging from 1% to 10% degree of hydrolysis were produced from chickpea protein isolate (CPI) using Alcalase immobilised on glyoxyl-agarose gels. Alcalase-glyoxyl derivative produced after 24 h of immobilisation at room temperature was 24 times more stable than soluble enzyme and presented approximately 51% of the activity of Alcalase. The chemical composition of chickpea hydrolysates were very close to that of CPI. Solubility, oil absorption, emulsifying activity and stability, and foaming capacity and stability were determined. All protein hydrolysates showed higher solubility than intact proteins, especially at pHs near isoelectric point of native chickpea proteins. Moreover, all hydrolysates had better functional properties, except emulsifying activity, than the original protein isolate.     

ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS OF WHEY PROTEINS BY TWO DIFFERENT PROTEASES AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF RESULTING PROTEIN HYDROLYSATES

Whey protein concentrate (WPC 80) was hydrolyzed by Alcalase 2.4 L and Protamex to 5, 10, 15 and 20% degree of hydrolysis (DH). WPC 80 and its hydrolysates were analyzed, compared and used for measuring some functional properties. All hydrolysates were different from WPC 80 in protein, moisture and ash content. Free amino groups and protein solubility increased with increasing DH. The peptides produced by hydrolysis had smaller molecular sizes, and their average molecular weight decreased as the DH increased. Except hydrolysates generated by Alcalase 2.4 L at 5% DH, all others showed poor emulsifying and foaming properties compared with unhydrolyzed WPC 80. Gelation properties of WPC 80 and its hydrolysates were different. The global amino acid compositions did not differ significantly between the different hydrolysates, and they were very close among WPC 80 and its hydrolysates except for Methionine, Glycine, Histidine and Valine.     

Functional properties of hydrolysates from Phaseolus lunatus seeds

Use of low degree of hydrolysis (DH < 10%) with enzymatic treatment can produce protein hydrolysates with functional properties superior to the raw material. Suspensions of Phaseolus lunatus protein isolate (PPI) were treated with one of two commercial enzymes (Alcalase or Flavourzyme) at 50 °C and pH 8.0. DH with Alcalase was greater than Flavourzyme at 5 or 15 min of reaction. Alcalase-prepared hydrolysates had more peptides than those prepared with Flavourzyme. All the hydrolysates had higher solubility than the PPI, the highest being for the Alcalase-prepared hydrolysate at 15 min reaction time. Overall, the Alcalase-prepared hydrolysates had better solubility characteristics, whereas the Flavourzyme-prepared hydrolysates had better film properties (maximum emulsifying capacity and the highest foam formation values). This is probably because of the greater ease of movement toward the interface as shown by their high surface hydrophobicity values. The Alcalase-prepared hydrolysates had generally low or nonexistent film properties.     

Hydrolysis conditions for antioxidant peptides derived from enzymatic hydrolysates of sandfish (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Arctoscopus japonicus</Emphasis>)

Sandfish (Arctoscopus japonicus) meat and roe were used as natural materials for the preparation of antioxidant peptides using enzymatic hydrolysis. Meat and roe were hydrolyzed using Alcalase 2.4 L and Collupulin MG, respectively. Optimal hydrolysis conditions were determined through the effects of pH, temperature, enzyme concentration, and hydrolysis time on the radical scavenging activity of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The optimal hydrolysis conditions for meat hydrolysate (MHA) obtained via Alcalase 2.4 L treatment were a pH of 6.0, temperature of 70 °C, enzyme concentration of 5% (w/w), and a hydrolysis time of 3 h. The optimal hydrolysis conditions for roe hydrolysate (RHC) obtained via Collupulin MG treatment were pH 9.0, 60 °C temperature, 5% (w/w) enzyme concentration, and 1 h hydrolysis time. Under the optimal conditions, the DPPH radical scavenging activities of MHA and RHC were 60.04 and 79.65%, respectively. These results provide fundamental data for the production of antioxidant peptides derived from sandfish hydrolysates.
