Antioxidant properties of whey protein hydrolysates as measured by three methods

Four microbial proteases (Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Neutrase and Protamex) were used for the preparation of whey protein hydrolysates. The aim of this research was to find out whether these hydrolysates can be used as a source of whey derived antioxidants. Hydrolyzed samples, including their unhydrolyzed protein solutions were tested by the ABTS (2,2′-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) decolorization assay, by the total radical-trapping potential method and by the assay of liposomes peroxidation (fluorescence photometry). Antioxidant properties were enhanced by hydrolysis in most of cases. Alcalase hydrolysates were found as the most effective antioxidants as determined by ABTS assay (~50% of antioxidant activity at 0.1 mg ml⁻¹ of hydrolysate in reaction) and fluorescence photometry. Liposomes were oxidized ~50% less (1.1 μM of α-tocopherol equivalent) with Alcalase hydrolysates additive (at 5.85 mg ml⁻¹ of hydrolysate in reaction). Hydrolysates did not inhibit the oxidation of liposomes at concentrations below 1.0 mg ml⁻¹ in reaction. On the contrary, results of total trapping potential method did not agree with findings observed in other tests. In this assay, Neutrase hydrolysates showed the best antioxidant properties. Pro-oxidant properties were observed in solutions containing (prior to the enzyme Protamex addition only) intact whey protein as determined by the measurement of the liposome peroxidation. The ABTS assay was optimized for the evaluation of the antioxidant activity in whey protein hydrolysates. The reaction time should be prolonged to avoid underestimation of the antioxidant activity.     

Chemical and Biochemical Hydrolysis of Persian Sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) Visceral Protein

Chemical (pH 3.3, 70 °C, 85 °C; pH 12, 70 °C, 85 °C) and biochemical (Alcalase, Protamex, Neutrase, Flavourzyme, and Trypsin) hydrolysis of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) visceral protein was investigated. The results of this study revealed that there are significant differences between enzymes in terms of degree of hydrolysis (DH%; P < 0.05). Alcalase-hydrolyzed fish protein had the highest DH% (50.13%), and Trypsin-hydrolyzed fish protein had the minimum DH% (14.21%). The highest DH% in chemical hydrolysis was related to pH 3.3 at 85 °C (68.87%). The highest protein recovery (83.64%) and protein content (73.34) were related to enzymatic hydrolysis by Alcalase. The results of current study showed the significant effect of hydrolysis conditions on fish protein hydrolysate properties. Microbial enzymes could produce fish hydrolysates with higher degree of hydrolysis when compared to animal enzyme. Also, in chemical hydrolysis it is clear that hydrolysis at the lower pH and at higher temperature causes to more protein recovery and degree of hydrolysis.     

Functional properties of protein hydrolysates from Riceberry rice bran

Protein hydrolysate from pigmented Riceberry rice bran has great potential to be used in food products due to its protein content and antioxidative activities. In this study, characteristics, solubility, heat stability and emulsification properties of protein hydrolysates from the bran fraction of two rice cultivars, commercial rice bran (CBH) and Riceberry bran (RBH), were investigated. Both CBH and RBH showed the lowest solubility near their isoelectric point between pH 2 and 3. Solubility of RBH increased with increasing pH as the hydrolysates became more negatively charged; however, solubility of CBH was less dependent on pH. Heating did not significantly affect solubility of both hydrolysates which could be due to reduced aggregation of low‐molecular weight peptides and/or the exposure of charged and polar groups after hydrolysis. Oil‐in‐water emulsions stabilised by RBH were more stable compared to those stabilised by CBH. Maximum stability was achieved with RBH at pH 6 where no creaming was observed after 14 day storage. Higher stability could be due to increased surface protein coverage, more negative charge and higher viscosity of RBH‐stabilised emulsions. In addition, higher carbohydrate content and the presence of flavonoid could also contribute to an increase in stability. These results can be applied in food products using rice bran protein hydrolysate as nutritional ingredients.     

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of soya protein isolate hydrolysates with added substrate‐like amino acids

Soya protein isolate (SPI) with or without added substrate‐like amino acid was subject to enzymatic hydrolysis catalysed by commercial proteases (Alcalase 2.4 L, flavourzyme and pancreatin). Addition of a small amount of amino acids (amino acid: SPI = 1: 2500, mol g^?1) during hydrolysis would cause a significantly (P < 0.05) reduced protein recovery, increased degree of hydrolysis, and altered amino acid composition and antioxidant activities of SPI hydrolysates. The SPI hydrolysates prepared with added Asp, Arg or Lys exhibited a higher antioxidant activity than the control. The bitterness of SPI hydrolysates was largely reduced upon addition of Met, Asp or Glu during hydrolysis, whilst the umami taste and mouthfeel‐liking were remarkably increased. Therefore, adding amino acid during hydrolysis is a feasible and beneficial approach to improve both the functional and sensory properties of SPI hydrolysate.     

Amino acid,structure and antioxidant properties of Haematococcus pluvialis protein hydrolysates produced by different proteases

The impact of different protease hydrolysis on the amino acid, structure and antioxidant properties of H. pluvialis protein (HP) was investigated. Results showed that the hydrolysate obtained by Alcalase exhibited the highest degree of hydrolysis (20.59%) and peptide yield (92.64%). The essential amino acid, hydrophobic, sulphur and aromatic amino acid contents of enzyme hydrolysates were significantly higher than HP (P < 0.05). FTIR spectra showed that the β-sheet proportion of HP hydrolysates were higher compared with HP, the proportion of random coil structure was lower. The α-helix content of the hydrolysate obtained by Alcalase was the highest, while the turn proportion was the lowest. The Trypsin derived hydrolysate presented the best DPPH and ABTS scavenging ability, and ferric reducing antioxidant power than other HPHs. These results suggested that HP hydrolysates have a great potential as natural functional ingredients in food manufacture.     

杏仁蛋白水解物对血管紧张素转化酶抑制作用的研究

分别采用Protamex、Alcalase、Neutrase、Flavourzyme、Proleather FG-F、木瓜蛋白酶水解杏仁蛋白,利用高效液相色谱法测定水解物对血管紧张素转化酶(ACE)的抑制活性,以水解度(DH)和水解产物对ACE的抑制率为指标对酶解过程进行分析,并研究水解物的体外消化稳定性。结果表明,Proleather FG-F 和Alcalase 对杏仁蛋白有较好的水解效果,其水解物对ACE 抑制率较高,IC50 分别为1.24mg/ml 和0.98mg/ml。模拟胃肠消化实验结果表明,在消化酶的作用下杏仁蛋白水解物仍具有较强的ACE 抑制活性。     

Effect of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide purified from enzymatic hydrolysates of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Styela plicata</Emphasis>

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide was isolated from Styela plicata. The S. plicata was hydrolyzed with various proteases including Protamex, Kojizyme, Neutrase, Flavourzyme, Alcalase, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, pepsin, and papain. The hydrolysate prepared with Protamex had the highest ACE inhibitory activity compared to the other hydrolysates. We attempted to isolate ACE inhibitory peptides from hydrolysate prepared with Protamex using ultra-filtration, gel filtration on a Sephadex G-25 column and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) on an ODS column. IC₅₀ value of the purified ACE inhibitory peptide was 24.7 μM, and Lineweaver–Burk plots suggest that the purified peptide from S. plicata acts as mixed-type inhibitor against ACE. Amino acid sequence of the purified peptide was identified as Met-Leu-Leu-Cys-Ser, with a molecular weight 566.4 Da. The results of this study suggest that peptides derived from S. plicata may be beneficial as anti-hypertension compounds in functional foods resource.     

Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory peptides from Thai jasmine rice bran protein hydrolysates

Rice bran protein hydrolysate (<50 kDa RBPH) from Thai jasmine variety demonstrating a high Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was purified and characterised. ACE inhibitory peptides were obtained from a two-step purification process: gel filtration and preparative reverse-phase high-performance chromatography (RP-HPLC) and then identified by mass spectrometer hybrid quadrupole-time-of-flight. A novel peptide GSGYF in the RBPH was firstly identified and found to have a partial sequence homology of Oryza sativa Japonica Group. This sequence was further synthesised to exhibit as good an inhibition potency with IC₅₀ value of 2.11 µg mL⁻¹ as Captopril (1.15 µg mL⁻¹). The cytotoxicity test revealed that this RBPH is non-toxic against Vero cells. In addition, the <50 kDa RBPH was resistant to in vitro digestion by pepsin and trypsin. These findings suggest that the RBPH containing ACE inhibitory peptides is likely to be safer and healthier than synthetic drugs and can be an effective food supplement for lowering blood pressure.     

Antioxidant activities of enzymatic rapeseed protein hydrolysates and the membrane ultrafiltration fractions

In this study, rapeseed protein isolate was hydrolyzed with various proteases to obtain hydrolysates that were separated by membrane ultrafiltration into four molecular size fractions (<1, 1–3, 3–5, and 5–10 kDa). Alcalase hydrolysis significantly (p < 0.05) produced the highest yield of protein hydrolysate while Flavourzyme produced the least. The <1 kDa fraction was the most abundant after the membrane ultrafiltration of the protein hydrolysates, which indicates that the proteases were efficient at reducing the native rapeseed proteins into low molecular weight peptides. Antioxidant properties of the resulting hydrolysates and membrane fractions were characterized and results showed the Pepsin + Pancreatin (P + P) protein hydrolysate had significantly highest (p < 0.05) scavenging activity against DPPH radical among the unfractionated enzymatic hydrolysates. But the P + P hydrolysate was not as effective as other hydrolysates during long-term inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation. For most of the samples, fractionation into the <1 kDa peptides significantly (p < 0.05) improved DPPH and superoxide scavenging properties when compared to the unfractionated protein hydrolysates. Only the <1 kDa fraction showed ferric reducing antioxidant power and the effect was dose-dependent. Overall, Alcalase and Proteinase K seem to be more efficient proteases to release antioxidant peptides from rapeseed proteins when compared to P + P, Flavourzyme and Thermolysin.     

Casein peptides with inhibitory activity on lipid oxidation in beef homogenates and mechanically deboned poultry meat

Bioactive peptides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of casein may have antioxidant activity. In this work, casein peptides were obtained using the proteolytic enzymes Alcalase and Flavourzyme. Casein was hydrolyzed for 4 h at 50 °C and pH 8, and the resulting peptides were analyzed. The enzymatic hydrolysis with Flavourzyme resulted in higher concentration of soluble protein and free amino acids, and produced peptides with lower molecular mass than those obtained with Alcalase, as observed by gel permeation chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Casein peptides obtained with Flavourzyme also exhibited greater antioxidant capacity using the ABTS radical method. Casein peptides (20 mg ml⁻¹) effectively inhibited lipid peroxidation in ground beef homogenates and mechanically deboned poultry meat. Casein peptides may be useful in meat processing as another naturally occurring antioxidant, helping to prevent off-flavor formation in meat products and increasing shelf life.     

Antioxidant activity and functional properties of porcine plasma protein hydrolysate as influenced by the degree of hydrolysis

Antioxidant activity and functional properties of porcine blood plasma protein hydrolysates (PPH) prepared with Alcalase at 6.2%, 12.7% and 17.6% of degree of hydrolysis (DH) were investigated. The PPH showed stronger radical-scavenging ability and possessed stronger Cu²⁺-chelation ability and a reducing power compared to non-hydrolysed plasma protein (P < 0.05). The antioxidant activity of PPH, indicated by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) values in a liposome-oxidising system, increased with increasing DH (P < 0.05). The Alcalase hydrolysis increased protein solubility from its original 68.46–81.79% (non-hydrolysed) to 82.95–94.94% (hydrolysed) over a broad pH range (3.0–8.0). However, hydrolysis decreased surface hydrophobicity and suppressed emulsifying and foaming capacity of the plasma protein. To identify antioxidant peptide, PPH was subjected to ultrafiltration, ion-exchange chromatography and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and the amino acid sequences of isolated peptides were determined by liquid chromatography/tendem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). The peptide with the strongest antioxidant activity had the amino acid sequence of His-Asn-Gly-Asn. The results indicated that PPH could be used as a novel antioxidant but may be of limited utility as an emulsifying or foaming agent.     

Functional properties of soy protein hydrolysate produced from a continuous membrane reactor system

Two types of soy protein hydrolysates were produced by hydrolysis of isolated soy protein (ISP) with a combination of Alcalase and Flavourzyme in a continuous membrane system with 3000 and 30,000 daltons molecular-weight-cut-off (MWCO) membranes, respectively. Both hydrolysates were completely soluble over a pH range of 2–9. Their water-binding capacity increased 1.8–3.4 times at a water activity of 0.6–0.95 as compared to intact ISP. The antioxidant activity of ISP was remarkably enhanced by enzyme hydrolysis. The hydrolysate from the 30,000 daltons MWCO membrane had a much higher antioxidant activity than that from the 3000 daltons MWCO membrane. The results suggested that both selected enzymes and MWCO membrane governed the functional properties of protein hydrolysates. Long-term operation study showed that the membrane reactor system could maintain a steady production of ISP hydrolysate over 16 h.     

Antioxidant activities of the rice endosperm protein hydrolysate: identification of the active peptide

The defatted rice endosperm protein (REP) was digested using five different proteases (Alcalase, Chymotrypsin, Neutrase, Papain, and Flavorase) to produce the antioxidative peptide. The degree of hydrolysis of REP by Neutrase (20.00%) was slightly lower than that of Chymotrypsin, but higher than those of other enzymes. The Neutrase hydrolysate from rice endosperm protein (NHREP) took on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity similar to α-tocopherol. Also, the reaction condition of Neutrase hydrolysis was moderate (pH of 7.0 and temperature of 37 °C). Therefore, Neutrase was chosen to be the optimum enzyme for producing the antioxidative peptide from REP. In succession, the antioxidant activities of NHREP were further evaluated. The median effective concentration (EC₅₀) value of NHREP for hydroxyl radical scavenging activity was 2.0 mg/mL, while its superoxide radical scavenging activity did not surpassed 50% even at 6 mg/mL. The percentage inhibition of autooxidation in linoleic acid system by NHREP was 82.09%, similar to that of α-tocopherol (86.59%) on day 5 at the same concentration. NHREP displayed 89.15% chelating effect on ferrous ion at a concentration of 1000 μg/mL, and a high correlation was also observed between the reducing power and antioxidant activity of NHREP (r ² = 0.99678). Consequently, NHREP was purified and identified, and the sequence determination by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS/MS revealed that the active constituent contained eight amino acids in its sequence (Lys-His-Asn-Arg-Gly-Asp-Glu-Phe), with the molecular mass of 1002.5217 Da. After sequence interpretation and database searching, the MS/MS spectrum was matched to glutelin protein f (460–465).     

Effect of defatting and enzyme type on antioxidative activity of shrimp processing byproducts hydrolysate

Shrimp processing byproducts (SPB) was digested by 6 proteases (trypsin, pepsin, neutrase, Protamex, Flavourzyme, and Alcalase) to produce antioxidative peptides. Both degree of hydrolysis (DH) and DPPH radical scavenging activity (DSA) of the Alcalase hydrolysate were the highest of all. The effect of defatting on DH and DSA of the Alcalase hydrolysate was significant. The DH decreased while the DSA increased after defatting of the byproducts. The antioxidative activity of Alcalase hydrolysate was also investigated using several in vitro assays, including DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging assays (ASA), reducing power assay, and chelating activity. The antioxidative activity of the hydrolysate was obviously concentration dependent. The SPB Alcalase hydrolysate exhibited notable DSA and ASA with the IC50 values of 500 and 7.4 μg/mL, respectively. And the hydrolysate showed 38.9% chelating activity at 120 μg/mL level. The SPB Alcalase hydrolysate was a potential source of natural antioxidants.     

Enzymatic hydrolysis of hard‐to‐cook bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) protein concentrates and its effects on biological and functional properties

Inadequate postharvest handling and storage under high temperature and relative humidity conditions produce the hard‐to‐cook (HTC) defect in beans. However, these can be raw material to produce hydrolysates with functional activities. Angiotensin I‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and antioxidant capacities were determined for extensively hydrolysed proteins of HTC bean produced with sequential systems Alcalase‐Flavourzyme (AF) and pepsin–pancreatin (Pep‐Pan) at 90 min ACE inhibition expressed as IC₅₀ values were 4.5 and 6.5 mg protein per mL with AF and Pep‐Pan, respectively. Antioxidant activity as Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) was 8.1 mm  mg^?1 sample with AF and 6.4 mm  mg^?1 sample with Pep‐Pan. The peptides released from the protein during hydrolysis were responsible for the observed ACE inhibition and antioxidant activities. Nitrogen solubility, emulsifying capacity, emulsion stability, foaming capacity and foam stability were measured for limited hydrolysis produced with Flavourzyme and pancreatin at 15 min. The hydrolysates exhibited better functional properties than the protein concentrate.
