Common Kilka Hydrolysis: Investigation of Functional and In Vitro Antioxidant Properties of Hydrolysates Obtained by Kiwifruit and Ginger Proteases

The functional and in vitro antioxidant properties of common kilka fish protein hydrolysates with different degree of hydrolysis (DH) obtained by kiwifruit protease (KP) and ginger protease (GP) were evaluated. The electrophoretic patterns of hydrolysates showed the presence of one major band in different DHs with a molecular weight of less than 25 kDa. Protein solubility was positively correlated with DH, and the solubility of KP and GP hydrolysates (HKP and HGP, respectively) at 15% DH was higher than other DHs (p ≤ 0.05). Higher emulsifying and foaming properties were observed in HKP over a pH range of 2–10 (p ≤ 0.05), and in vitro antioxidant activity was higher in HKP at 15% DH as seen from 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging and ferric-reducing power. Thus, the results reveal that DH and enzyme type affects functional properties and antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates.     

Autolysis of Anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) Protein: Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties and Nutritional Quality of Resulting Hydrolysates

Protein hydrolysis of underutilized marine organisms is a method to improve added value. In the present article, anchovy protein was autolyzed at pH 8.5 and 50°C. After autolysis processing for 24 h, total nitrogen recovery reached 92.1%. The protein hydrolysates had antioxidant properties on reducing power, 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl radical, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. More than 79% of the peptides in the hydrolysates had a molecular weight of lower than 3 kDa. Protein hydrolysates had balanced amino acid compositions, and total content of essential amino acids had no significant difference after hydrolysis. Protein hydrolysates from anchovy autolysis have potential in nutritional and functional foods.     

Effect of Degree of Hydrolysis and Protease Type on the Antioxidant Activity of Protein Hydrolysates From Cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) By-Products

We have investigated the antioxidant activities of eight hydrolysates from cuttlefish by-products obtained by treatment with various gastrointestinal proteases (chymotrypsin, trypsin, and crude alkaline enzyme extracts from cuttlefish and sardinelle) and bacterial proteases (Alcalase and crude enzymes from Bacillus pumilus A1, Bacillus mojavensis A21, and Bacillus cereus BG1). The antioxidant activities of the cuttlefish by-products protein hydrolysates (CPHs) were evaluated using various in vitro antioxidant assays, such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity, reducing power, and total antioxidant capacity. All hydrolysates showed different degrees of hydrolysis (DH) and varying degrees of antioxidant activity. Among the different hydrolysates, cuttlefish crude enzyme hydrolysate exhibited the highest antioxidant activity, followed by sardinelle crude enzyme and Alcalase hydrolysates. Further, CPHs with different degrees of hydrolysis were prepared by treatment with proteolytic enzymes from cuttlefish, sardinelle, and B. mojavensis A21. All hydrolysates showed a greater antioxidative activity as indicated by all the methods considered. In addition, antioxidant activity in hydrolysates was positively correlated with the increase of DH. The results of this study indicated that CPHs might be a good candidate for further investigation in developing new antioxidants.     

Influence of Degree of Hydrolysis on Chemical Composition,Functional Properties,and Antioxidant Activities of Chinese Sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) Hydrolysates Obtained by Using Alcalase 2.4L

Protein hydrolysates from Chinese sturgeon were prepared using Alcalase 2.4L enzyme. Under the optimum conditions (enzyme–substrate ratio of 3.5%, pH of 8.5, and temperature of 55°C), the degree of hydrolysis (DH) was 13.8%, 16.7%, and 19.1% after 1, 3, and 6 h, respectively. The contents of crude protein and amino acid increased at DH of 19.1% to 86.97% and 78.29%, respectively. There was an obvious increase in the low-molecular-weight peptides, which could enhance the hydrolysate’s functional properties such as solubility, representing more than 90% at different pH levels. The obtained protein hydrolysates revealed good emulsification properties and high oil absorption. Furthermore, good antioxidant activities such as 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) inhibition, ferric reducing power, and ferrous ion (Fe²⁺⁾ chelating ability were attained depending on the solution concentration. The findings indicate that the functional and antioxidant properties of protein hydrolysates could be useful in many applications of the food industry.     

Evaluation of Plasticizing and Antioxidant Properties of Silver Carp Protein Hydrolysates in Fish Gelatin Film

Physico-mechanical and antioxidant properties of glycerol plasticized fish gelatin films were investigated at different levels of fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) from silver carp muscle (5, 10, 15, and 20 g FPH/100 g gelatin). The films supplemented with FPH, especially at higher concentration showed significant increase in 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2, 20-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfnic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), elongation at break, difference of color, water vapor permeability and opacity, while tensile strength, elastic modulus, L*, b*, and contact angle decreased markedly (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed for a* and solubility of all samples (p > 0.05). Films prepared using 20% FPH had lower glass transition temperature and more homogeneous structure, compared with control film. Also, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the increase of free groups of hydrolysates and lower interaction between chains of film incorporated with the highest content of FPH. Thus, these results indicate that FPH enhanced the antioxidant activities and affected some characteristics due to less interaction between gelatin and FPH.     

Protein Hydrolysates and Ultrafiltration Fractions Obtained from Krill (Euphausia superba): Nutritional,Functional, Antioxidant,and ACE-Inhibitory Characterization

ABSTRACT

Krill (Euphausia superba) was hydrolyzed by proteolytic enzymes in order to produce multifunctional bioactive peptides, and their functional properties were evaluated. Krill protein hydrolysate (KPH) by pepsin with 4-h hydrolysis showed the highest 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging and angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities. The solubility and foaming properties of KPH were higher than those of the unhydrolyzed krill protein at a wide range of pHs. KPH was further fractionated based on molecular weight. The 1- to 3-kDa peptide fraction exhibited the highest DPPH scavenging activity (IC₅₀ value of 0.5 mg/mL), oxygen radical absorbance capacity (497.39 ± 4.31 µM TE/mg fraction), 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid cation radical scavenging activity (48.41 ± 0.23 µM TE/mg fraction), and reducing power (110.40 ± 2.07 µM TE/mg fraction). However, the < 1-kDa peptide fraction exhibited a higher ACE inhibitory activity than that of other fractions. The 1- to 3- and < 1-kDa peptide fractions are rich in aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids, respectively.     

Antioxidant Efficacy of Protein Hydrolysates from Large Yellow Croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) in D-galactose-Induced Aging Mice

The antioxidant efficacy of protein hydrolysates prepared from large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) by enzymatic hydrolysis using neutral protease was evaluated in D-galactose-induced aging mice. Animals were divided into normal and model control groups, and low-, middle-, and high-dose groups (50, 100, and 300 mg/kg; LYCHs), as well as tocopherol (VE) and antagonistic (LYCHs + VE) groups. The study was carried out for 30 days. Administration of D-galactose induced oxidative damage with a significant rise (p < 0.01) in malondialdehyde and a reduction in several endogenous antioxidant enzymes and glutathione (GSH). Treatment with large yellow croaker protein hydrolysates stimulated an increase in superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activities, increased levels of reduced glutathione, and decreased malondialdehyde, compared with the model control group. Additionally, hepatocellular damage was evaluated by measuring aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels. These results demonstrate the protective role of large yellow croaker protein hydrolysates in D-galactose-induced oxidative stress, as well as their potential as nutraceuticals or adjuvant agents for disease prevention.     

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-IV Inhibitory,and Antioxidant Activities of a Blue Mussel (Mytilus edulis) Meat Protein Extract and Its Hydrolysates

ABSTRACT

Protein extracted from mussel processing coproducts was hydrolyzed with four different food-grade enzyme preparations and assessed for angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory and oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC) activities. All hydrolysates tested showed higher activity than the intact protein. ACE and DPP-IV IC₅₀ values in the range 1.13–3.34 and 0.33–2.43 mg mL^?1, respectively, and ORAC values in the range 66.26–121.56 µmol trolox equivalents g^–1 were obtained. These results suggest that some of the mussel meat protein hydrolysates may have potential as functional food ingredients for the management of diseases such as type II diabetes and hypertension.     

Effect of Enzyme Type on the Antioxidant Activities and Functional Properties of Enzymatic Hydrolysates from Sea Cucumber (Cucumaria frondosa) Viscera

ABSTRACT

Effects of various proteases were obvious on the amino acid composition, antioxidant activities, and functional properties of enzymatic hydrolysates prepared from sea cucumber viscera (SCV). Alcalase, trypsin, and flavourzyme conferred better antioxidant activities on hydrolysates and endowed them with a higher degree of hydrolysis, coming to 19.08, 32.38, and 15.94%, respectively. For functional properties, neutrase- and flavourzyme-derived hydrolysates showed better foaming properties. Amino acid composition suggested that papain, neutrase, alcalase, and bromelain granted the hydrolysate’s high nutritional quality. The results indicated that SCV hydrolysates could be used in food systems to impart desirable characteristics to products.     

Influence of Different Hydrolysis Processes by Trypsin on the Physicochemical,Antioxidant, and Functional Properties of Collagen Hydrolysates from Sphyrna lewini,Dasyatis akjei,and Raja porosa

ABSTRACT

Acid soluble collagen hydrolysates from the cartilages of Sphyrna lewini, Dasyatis akjei, and Raja porosa on different hydrolysis conditions by trypsin were prepared and named as S, D, and R, respectively. The hydrolysates (S1, D1, and R1) obtained from hydrolysis in pH 2.5, 3 h, 37°C presented wonderful foaming and emulsifying capacities, caused by their high average molecular weights (AMWs), high degree of Pro and Lys hydroxylation, and imino acid contents (17.1, 15.3, and 14.1%). At the concentration of 0.1% (w/v), the foaming capacities of S1, D1, and R1 were 104.75 ± 2.57, 63.87 ± 2.73, and 76.87 ± 2.02%; and the emulsifying activity indexes of them were 116.07 ± 1.89, 91.04 ± 1.79, and 123.85 ± 2.14 m²/g, respectively. Conversely, hydrolysates (S2, D2, and R2) obtained from hydrolysis in pH 7.8, 3 min, 37°C exhibited strong scavenging activity on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical (EC₅₀ 0.568, 0.680, and 1.634 mg/mL), hydroxyl radical (EC₅₀ 0.253, 0.376, and 0.438 mg/mL), and moderate reducing power (0.0465–0.4702 at the concentration of 5 mg/mL), due to their low AMWs. The results indicated that S1, D1, and R1 could be used as emulsifiers and foaming agents, and S2, D2, and R2 could be used as natural antioxidants in food systems.     

Nutritive Evaluation of Lysine- and Methionine-Supplemented Raw Vs Heat-Processed Soybean to Replace Fishmeal as a Dietary Protein Source for Grey Mullet,Mugil cephalus,and Milkfish,Chanos chanos

Two experiments were conducted to study the effect of methionine- and lysine-supplemented raw and hydrothermically processed full-fat soybean as a dietary protein source on growth performance, digestibility, and digestive enzyme activity in grey mullet, Mugil cephalus (mean BW 0.55 g), and milkfish, Chanos chanos (mean BW 3.83 g). Eight isocaloric (gross energy about 18.27 kj g^?1) and isonitrogenous (crude protein about 40%) diets (1–4 = raw soybean based; 5–8 = processed full-fat soybean based) were formulated. A fishmeal-based diet was used as the reference/control diet. Growth performance, nutrient retention, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and protein digestibility in fishes correlated well with the trypsin inhibitor activity levels of the diets. Carcass phosphorous levels were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in fish fed the fishmeal control diet. Irrespective of the fish species, significantly (P < 0.05) lower levels of total ammonia excretion and reactive phosphate production (mg kg^?1 BW d^?1) were recorded where the fish were fed processed full-fat soybean diets compared with the fish fed fishmeal or raw soybean diets. Among these diets, the best growth performance and the lowest levels of metabolic waste were obtained in fishes fed the methionine- and lysine-supplemented processed soybean-based diets containing no fishmeal.     

热处理对肉类蛋白质构的影响

加热作为最传统的肉熟化和杀菌手段,在今后的水产及畜禽肉加工产业中将依旧占主导地位。作者简述了肌肉蛋白的组成和结构,讨论了不同来源肌肉蛋白在加热过程中的变性行为。水生及陆生来源的肌肉中,大部分肌浆蛋白在40℃~60℃之间聚集,但对一些肌浆蛋白来说,加热到90℃才凝固。溶液中肌原纤维蛋白在30℃~32℃开始展开,在36℃~40℃蛋白质—蛋白质开始结合,在45℃~50℃产生凝胶化(conc.>0.5重量%)。在53℃~63℃的温度下,胶原蛋白开始变性,随后胶原纤维发生收缩。如果胶原纤维不能通过耐热分子间键稳定,则它在进一步加热时溶解并形成胶状。此外,作者还概述了不同种类肌肉蛋白在加热过程中的结构变化及其对质地品质的影响。对于一般完整肌肉的肉块,一定温度的热处理后,显微组织收缩,肌节长度缩短,持水性降低,韧性发生1次或者2次的跃升。鱼糜制品、汉堡肉饼及乳化香肠等碎肉产品,因加工工艺影响,肌肉系统的结构大幅改变。鱼糜制品形成过程较畜禽肌肉复杂;鱼类肌肉中盐溶性蛋白在加热作用下通过分子间二硫键、疏水作用力、氢键等等的作用,包裹水分重新形成立体网状结构,成为具有凝胶特性的鱼糜制品。通常畜禽类肌肉没有鱼糜凝胶形成的能力强。与乳化香肠相比,汉堡肉整体纤维和纤维碎片的出现率更高,其含量高达50%~70%,导致受热后收缩程度更大。乳化香肠中,因肌肉彻底粉碎搅拌因而肌原纤维蛋白被抽提出,在加热时产生密集的蛋白质网络—凝胶,通过毛细管作用力可有效地保持水分。了解不同种类肉蛋白质在烹饪过程中的结构变化以及质构品质变化机理,可为制定更合理的肉类加工方式提供理论依据。     

Antioxidant Assessment of Schizochytrium Meal Protein Enzymatic Hydrolysate and Its Potential Application

Schizochytrium meal protein (SMP) extracted from Schizochytrium meal was hydrolyzed by flavourzyme. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the extraction conditions for the protein extraction yield from Schizochytrium meal. 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity (DRSA) was used to evaluate the antioxidant activity of hydrolysates. The orthogonal test was used to investigate the effects of three independent variables, namely protease dosage, hydrolysis time, and pH. The optimum conditions obtained were as follows: protease dosage of 7%, hydrolysis time of 1.5 h, pH of 6, under which, DRSA at the concentration of 2 mg/mL was 89.38%. Aspartic and glutamic acid constituted approximately 26.32% of the total amino acids, and glutamic acid was the most abundant amino acid of Schizochytrium meal protein hydrolysate (SMPH) by amino acid composition analysis, which may have contributed to the scavenging activity of SMPH. Moreover, SMPH was made into chewable tablets with suitable formula and high humidity stability. These findings indicate that Schizochytrium meal can be reused as a raw material for preparation of antioxidant peptides.     

Physicochemical and Functional Properties of Protein Recovered from Fish Waste

ABSTRACT

This work aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and functional properties of proteins recovered from whitemouth croaker (Micropogonias furnieri) and Argentine anchovy (Engraulis anchoita) residues obtained by the process of acid solubilization using HCl at pH = 2 and alkaline solubilization using NaOH at pH = 12 and isoelectric precipitation (pH = 5.5). The proximate composition and functional properties were determined. The solubilization and water holding capacity (WHC) of the recovered protein were studied in the pH range of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. The high protein content and lowest lipid reduction presented by the protein recovered from the whitemouth croaker residue and obtained by the acid solubilizing process was 97.1 and 98.4%, respectively. The maximum solubilized protein was at pH 3 and 11, and the minimum solubilized protein was at pH 5 for both species. The greater ability to retain oil was observed for the alkaline solubilization process (8.3 and 7.3). The lower WHC was at pH 5. The acid and alkali residue concentrates of the whitemouth croaker presented higher WHC at pH 3 and 11. These proteins can be used in preparing edible films and have been used to produce bioactive compounds for supplements or functional ingredients.     

Antioxidant and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Activities of Protein Hydrolysates Prepared from Threadfin Bream (Nemipterus spp.) Surimi By-products

Solid wastes from threadfin bream (Nemipterus spp.) surimi production composed of head and frame were hydrolyzed by various commercial proteases (Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Neutrase, Protamex, papain, and pepsin) to produce protein hydrolysates with bioactive properties. An Alcalase-hydrolyzed sample at 24.4% degree of hydrolysis (DH) displayed the highest antioxidant activity based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, and potassium ferricyanide method. In addition, it showed an inhibitory activity toward angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) of 25.5%. Antioxidant activity of threadfin bream by-product hydrolysates increased with hydrolysis time and reached the highest DPPH activity after 6 h, while that hydrolyzed for 3 h showed the highest reducing power based on FRAP and potassium ferricyanide assays. In addition, ACE inhibitory activity was found to be at an optimum after 3 h of hydrolysis. The hydrolysates (1 mg/mL) also retarded oxidation of a linoleic acid emulsion system to a similar extent as 0.1 mg/mL 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy anisole (BHA), indicating a potential use in the food system. Protein hydrolysates from threadfin bream surimi by-products could be tailor-made to possess both antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activity through controlling DH of Alcalase-catalyzed reactions.     

Evaluation of the Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity of Protein Hydrolysates and Peptide Fractions Derived from Colossoma macropomum and Their Effect on Ground Beef Lipid Oxidation

The objective of this study was to obtain protein hydrolysate from the mechanically separated meat of blackfin pacu to evaluate the influence by ultrafiltration in the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the peptide fractions obtained and to apply in ground beef to evaluate the lipid stability. The enzymatic hydrolysis was performed using the enzyme Protamex (pH 7.0, 60°C) for 240 min. The protein hydrolysate was fractionated by ultrafiltration. Then, the antioxidant capacity of the protein hydrolysate and the peptide fractions were evaluated in vitro by the methods of 2,2’-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline sulfonic acid) radical capture, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical-scavenging assay, reducing power, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. The antimicrobial activity of the samples was evaluated by disc-diffusion against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. After evaluation, the peptide fractions did not present higher bioactivities than that shown for the hydrolysate. The protein hydrolysate was applied to ground beef, where the substances reactive to thiobarbituric acid and color were evaluated during 7 days of storage at 4°C. Lipid oxidation was reduced up to 60.9% and there was no modification of the natural coloration. Thus, the protein hydrolysate can be used as an alternative source of antioxidant for the preservation of refrigerated meats.     

Antioxidant Properties of Protein Hydrolysate Obtained from Oyster Saccostrea cucullata (Born, 1778)

The antioxidant activities of enzymatically hydrolyzed (protease from Bacillus cereus SU12) oyster (Saccostrea cucullata) protein were studied. The hydrolysate exhibited a strong antioxidant potential in 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH, 85.7 ± 0.37%), followed by hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity (81.6 ± 0.3%), hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (79.32 ± 0.6%), and reducing power assay (2.63 ± 0.2 OD at 700 nm) at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Due to the high antioxidant potential, the hydrolysate was purified in Sephadex G-25 gel filtration chromatography. The active peptide fraction was identified by DPPH and reducing power assay. The amino acid content of the purified active peptide fraction was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. The active fraction contained a good quantity of both essential and nonessential amino acids. The present study revealed that oyster (S. cucullata) protein hydrolysate is a potential source for natural antioxidants.     

Antioxidant Properties and Arsenic Speciation of Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration Derived Abalone Viscera Hydrolysate Fraction

A fraction with molecular weight of 0.2–1.0 kDa was prepared from abalone viscera hydrolysate by ultrafiltration and nanofiltration. The contents of protein, carbohydrate, and fat in abalone viscera were 45.75%, 18.19%, and 13.60%, respectively. The protein in abalone viscera hydrolysate faction (AVHF) reached up to 75.73%, while carbohydrate and fat fell to 1.80% and 0.20%, respectively. The leucine (Leu) content was the highest in the AVHF. On the other hand, the hydroxyl and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activities and reducing power increased with increased concentration of AVHF. The inhibiting ability of AVHF on lipid peroxidation was higher than that of ascorbic acid. The total content of K, Na, and P in AVHF was 9.78 g/100 g, and total arsenic content reached 16.23 mg/kg. The proportion of arsenobetaine and arsenocholine accounted for more than 96%, while the proportion of arsenate was 0.47%, and arsenite was not detectable. It is concluded that the AVHF from abalone viscera is a safe natural antioxidant.     

Inhibitory Activities of Protein Hydrolysates from Spotted Babylon Snails on Tyrosinase and Melanogenesis

The optimal conditions for protein hydrolysates preparation from spotted babylon Babylonia areolata exhibiting tyrosinase inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity using alkaline protease (Protease G6) were undiluted Protease G6 (5.8 × 10⁵ DU/g) at 60 min of hydrolysis time and eightfold diluted Protease G6 (7.25 × 10⁴ DU/g) at 240 min of hydrolysis time. These two conditions were fractioned using molecular weight (MW) cutoff values of 10, 5, and 3 kDa membranes, and their anti-melanogenic and antioxidant properties were further analyzed. Among the fractions, the MW < 3 kDa fraction exhibited high levels of inhibitory activity toward the mono- and diphenolase activities of tyrosinase, with IC₅₀ values of 1.758 and 8.995 μg/mL, respectively. Kinetic studies revealed that this fraction behaved as an uncompetitive inhibitor. The results demonstrated that the MW < 3 kDa fraction suppressed melanin synthesis and decreased cellular tyrosinase activity with no cytotoxicity to B16F10 melanoma cells.     

Anti-Inflammatory,Antioxidant, and Antimicrobial Effects of Underutilized Fish Protein Hydrolysate

Antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities of protein hydrolysates from Argentine croaker (Umbrina canosai) protein isolate (CPI) or Argentine croaker myofibrillar protein with different degrees of hydrolysis (DH: 10–20%) prepared using Alcalase or Protamex were determined. Results showed that an increase in the DH resulted in higher content of hydrophobic and aromatic amino acids (AAAs) and in a decrease in molecular weight (MW) distribution for all hydrolysates obtained. Furthermore, the enzyme and raw material used influenced the amino acid content and MW determined. Hydrolysates from CPI with a 20% DH by Alcalase had higher 2,2?-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical scavenging activity, metal chelation, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (p < 0.05). All hydrolysate samples decreased the pro-inflammatory capacity. In all the evaluated microorganisms, only seven were inhibited, most being Gram-positive. Alcalase was found to exert a considerable influence on antibacterial activity. These hydrolysates are an alternative as natural antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant compounds.
