Protein hydrolysate is an essential component of dry starter diets for fish larvae, as promoting healthy development. Peptides are also suitable substrates for many intestinal microbes. Five experimental diets were compared to a control diet (CONT) supplemented with a commercial fish protein hydrolysate. Each diet contained one marine protein hydrolysate, which differed by the proportion of dia...

Two hydrolysates were obtained from dried Mastocarpus stellatus using alcalase. The phenolic content was partially removed from one of them. The phenolic-partially-removed hydrolysate (H) was found to be a potent angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. However, the phenolic-containing hydrolysate (Hp) showed a higher Folin-reactive substance content and antioxidant capacity (reducing p...

Objectives: Menopausal transition with declining estrogen levels significantly affects the physiological properties of women and consequently contributes to a series of medical conditions, including obesity. Obesity is a crucial risk factor associated with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and breast cancer. Increasing dietary protein content improves satiety and energy expenditure. T...

Nentwich I . , Szépfalusi Zs. , Kunz C. , Spuergin P. , Urbanek R.: Antigenicity for Humans of Cow Milk Caseins, Casein Hydrolysate and Casein Hydrolysate Fractions. Acta Vet. Brno 2004, 73: 291-298. Cow milk casein consists of several fractions each of which have different structure and differing antigenicity. The aim of the study was to investigate the capacity of cow milk casein, casein frac...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-hypertensive and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition effects of soyabean protein hydrolysate in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Soyabean protein hydrolysate was prepared by peptic hydrolysis and was added into the feed of SHR (0% for the S0 group, 0.5% for the S1 group, and 1% for the S2 group) for 12 weeks. Systolic blo...

in current study, protein hydrolysates were produced using microbial proteases of alcalase, protamex and flavourzyme from yellowfin tuna viscera. the results indicated that, protein hydrolysate from alcalase, had significantly higher protein content, nitrogen recovery and degree of hydrolysis than the others (p 0.05). the results of amino acids composition revealed that all hydrolysates were al...

A major problem in total parenteral nutrition is sepsis, particularly that caused by Candida. Studies of four solutions, a casein hydrolysate, a fibrin hydrolysate, and two crystalline amino acid solutions, show that the protein hydrolysate solutions appear to be highly selective for Candida over bacteria, whereas the crystalline amino acid solutions are not. These findings suggest that the cry...
