Dietary proteins are no longer just nutritional ingredients in our food. During hydrolysis, some of the released peptides may possess properties that favor health human body. In study enzymatic hydrolysis lupin was performed using papain. Three enzyme-to-substrate ratios were set for three different duration times. The SDS-PAGE samples performed. Each hydrolysate studied degree (DH), acetylchol...

Peptides with bioactive properties can be released from the precursor proteins during food processing or digestion, and act as antioxidative compounds. Although, it has been proven that hydrolysate exerts higher antioxidant activity than purified peptides. The process of enzyme immobilization proved to be more practical and advantageous for catalysis than using free enzyme. The aim of this stud...

Goat is known as poor man’s animal. The fat globules are smaller in goat milk, which makes it easily digestible. Polyunsaturated fatty acids milk fat, mainly responsible for anticancerous behavior of milk. Although protein somewhat low than cow the digestibility higher compared to protein. Taurine present reported have inhibitory action on cardiovascular disease leads synthesis essential amino ...

Deriving non-conventional enzymes from cheaper sources than those used for commercially available enzymes may result in the production of hydrolysates with beneficial features, while drastically reducing the cost of hydrolysis. This is especially significant for enzymatic hydrolysis as a method of protein waste utilization. We have previously described the ability of non-commercial serine prote...

This study utilized commercially available proteolytic enzymes to prepare egg-white protein hydrolysates (EPHs) with different degrees of hydrolysis. The antioxidant effect and functionalities of the resultant products were then investigated. Treatment with Neutrase yielded the most α-amino groups (6.52 mg/mL). Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Protamex, and Ficin showed similar degrees of α-amino group l...

Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods that may secrete immunosuppressant molecules, which inhibit host inflammatory and immune responses and provide survival advantages to pathogens at tick bleeding sites in hosts. In the current work, two families of immunoregulatory peptides, hyalomin-A and -B, were first identified from salivary glands of hard tick Hyalomma asiaticum asiaticum. Three copies of ...

A recently proposed paradigm suggests that, like their dietary counterparts, digestion of gastrointestinal endogenous proteins (GEP) may also produce bioactive peptides. With an aim to test this hypothesis, in vitro digests of four GEP namely; trypsin (TRYP), lysozyme (LYS), mucin (MUC), serum albumin (SA) and a dietary protein chicken albumin (CA) were screened for their angiotensin-I converti...
