Recently, the study of hydrolysates from food proteins has been increasingly due to their wide range biological activities. Hydrolysates contain peptides 2–20 amino acids that are inactive within sequence parent protein, but, once released after proteolytic processes, they exert numerous beneficial health effects. Hemp, non-drug variety Cannabis sativa, is known as an important source bioactive...

India has a long coastal line of about 8000 km includes 13 main land states and 5 Union territories which comprises significant biodiversity. The east and west coast of India continues to be a large fishing ground in the south Asian region and is one of the largest marine product nations in the world. During the period of 2009, India’s annual fish landings are about 3.16 million tonnes [1]. Fis...

Influence of amino acid compositions and peptide profiles on antioxidant capacities of two protein hydrolysates from skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) dark muscle was investigated. Dark muscles from skipjack tuna were hydrolyzed using five separate proteases, including pepsin, trypsin, Neutrase, papain and Alcalase. Two hydrolysates, ATH and NTH, prepared using Alcalase and Neutrase, respectiv...

Proline was first determined in 1901 by Fischer (2), who isolated copper Land nn-proline dihydrates from an ester fraction of an acid hydrolysate of casein. During the ensuing three decades proline was determined essentially by this procedure in the hydrolysates of more than 50 proteins by Fischer (1901-ll), Abderhalden (1902-36), Osborne (1906-ll), and other workers. That data of satisfactory ...

BACKGROUND Cow's milk-derived whey hydrolysates are nutritional substitutes for allergic infants. Safety or residual allergenicity assessment of these whey hydrolysates is crucial. Currently, rat basophilic leukemia RBL-2H3 cells expressing the human IgE receptor α-chain (huFcεRIα-RBL-2H3), sensitized with serum IgE from cow's milk allergic children, are being employed to assess in vitro residu...

Fresh pollock skin was hydrolyzed for 10 min (PPH10), 30 min (PPH30) and 45 min (PPH45), and the chemical and functional properties of pollock skin protein hydrolysates were evaluated. PPH45 (79.6%) had significantly higher nitrogen solubility values than PPH30 (72.6%) and PPH10 (64.8%). Emulsifying stability values for PPH10 and PPH30 were significantly higher (P < 0.05) than PPH45. Fat adsorp...

The utilization of industrial sunflower meal to produce protein-rich products for the food industry is an alternative approach for better and more efficient use of this agricultural by-product. Sunflower meal proteins possess specific functional properties, which however need improvement to broaden their potential as supplements for delivering high--quality products for human nutrition. The aim...
