It has been suggested that protein hydrolysates providing mainly di- and tripeptides are superior to intact (whole) proteins and free amino acids in terms of skeletal muscle protein anabolism. This review provides a critical examination of protein hydrolysate studies conducted in healthy humans with special reference to sports nutrition. The effects of protein hydrolysate ingestion on blood ami...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), which is one of the most abundant crops in the world, is cultivated widely in China, the United States, and Central Asia. The cotton stalk generated with cotton cultivation is an important source of lignocellulosic biomass. In recent years, cotton stalk has received increasing attention from researchers engaged in bioconversion areas, and some high-value products, s...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the administration of egg white hydrolysates on obesity-related disorders, with a focus on lipid metabolism, inflammation and oxidative stress, in Zucker fatty rats. Obese Zucker rats received water, pepsin egg white hydrolysate (750 mg/kg/day) or Rhizopus aminopeptidase egg white hydrolysate (750 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks. Lean Zucker rats recei...

The purpose of this study was to investigate coating process of tablets with the novel starch hydrolysate emulsion. The process was performed manually in a coating pan rotating 35 rpm, with a stream of dry air (40 - 45 degrees C). The coated tablets were of fairly good quality. A total tablet surface was calculated for evaluation of quantity of starch hydrolysate emulsion for one step of coatin...

Xylitol can be obtained from wheat straw hemicellulose containing a high content of xylan. This study describes a new system of hydrolysis, utilizing a mixed solution of formic acid and hydrochloric acid in which xylan can be hydrolyzed effectively. The hydrolysate contains a high content of formic acid, which markedly inhibits the fermentation. One of the most efficient methods for removing in...

Amino acid absorption from a peptide-containing protein hydrolysate and an equivalent amino acid mixture over a range of concentrations of the two--such as is thought to be found in the normal intestine after a meal--has been studied using a jejunal perfusion technique in man. The relative rates of amino acid absorption from the protein hydrolysate and amino acid mixture varied markedly with co...

Background Breastfeeding is the gold standard of infant feeding, however not all infants with cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) tolerate human milk. In these cases, it seems recommended the use of extensively hydrolyzed formula (eHF). Preliminary analyses such as antigenicity and protein quality evaluation are needed to ensure that new formula will be nutritionally suitable, tolerated and safe ...

With the development of marine biorefinery concept, utilisation algal waste during industrial processing as well some “green tide” biomass has become an important research topic. In this work, a single-step microwave process was used to hydrolyse Laminaria japonica (LJW) and Enteromorpha prolifera (EP), producing growth medium suitable for microbial cultivation. The contained range mono- polysa...

Xylose-to-xylitol bioconversion by Ca-alginate entrapped Candida guilliermondii cells in sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolysate was carried out in erlenmeyer flasks using the repeated-batch mode of fermentation. The hydrolysate was supplemented or not with ammonium sulfate and/or rice bran extract at the beginning of each repeated batch. Altogether, six sets of three repeated-batches were...

Casein and whey protein were hydrolyzed using 11 different commercially available enzyme preparations. Emulsion-forming ability and emulsion stability of the digests were measured as well as biochemical properties with the objective to study the relations between hydrolysate characteristics and emulsion properties. All whey protein hydrolysates formed emulsions with bimodal droplet size distrib...
