This study aimed to microencapsulate protein hydrolysates from stripped weakfish (Cynoscion guatucupa) industrial byproducts produced by Alcalase (HA) and Protamex (HP) spray drying, using maltodextrin as wall material. The physicochemical characteristics, in vitro antioxidant Angiotensin-I converting enzyme-inhibitory activities were evaluated during storage. Both microencapsulated showed sphe...

The peptidases of thermophilic lactic acid bacteria have a key role in the proteolysis of Swiss cheeses during warm room ripening. To compare their peptidase activities toward a dairy substrate, a tryptic/chymotryptic hydrolysate of purified beta-casein was used. Thirty-four peptides from 3 to 35 amino acids, including three phosphorylated peptides, constitute the beta-casein hydrolysate, as sh...

This study aims at exploring earthworm protein hydrolysate and its peptide fractions as a potential hypoglycemic agent by inhibiting α-amylase α-glucosidase. Firstly, the best hydrolysis conditions to gain hydrolysates with highest inhibitory activity (α-AIA) α-glucosidase (α-GIA) were figured out using one-factor test. Next, stability of their 5 recovered ultrafiltration membranes assessed emp...

The purpose of this study was the purification and characterization of an angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide purified from enzymatic hydrolysates of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss muscle. After removal of lipid, the approximate composition analysis of the rainbow trout revealed 24.4%, 1.7%, and 68.3% for protein, lipid, and moisture, respectively. Among six hydrolysates...

The mechanism for the hypocholesterolemic action of a cattle heart protein hydrolysate (HPH) is clarified. The micellar solubility of cholesterol in vitro was significantly lower in the presence of HPH than in the presence of casein. The suppression of cholesterol uptake by Caco-2 cells was significantly higher in the cholesterol micelles containing HPH than in the cholesterol micelles containi...

This study investigated on the effects of adding mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) hydrolysates on the quality properties of imitation fish paste (IFP) during storage. IFP was prepared from Alaska Pollack, spent laying hens surimi and protein hydrolysates which were enzymatically extracted from MDCM. The study was designed as a 3×4 factorial design with three MDCM hydrolysate content gro...
