Preparation and Characterization of Protein Hydrolysates From Little Loligo Squid (Uroteuthis chinensis)

Research on the little loligo squid (Uroteuthis chinensis) protein hydrolyzed by papain and Flavourzyme and characterization of hydrolysates was carried out in this article. The optimum hydrolysis conditions of papain were obtained by orthogonal experiments, and the influence factors on the degree of hydrolysis such as enzyme/substrate ratio, hydrolysis time, pH, and temperature were investigated. The effect of Flavourzyme on the degree of hydrolysis was also studied. The characteristics of freeze-dried hydrolysates such as yield, moisture, nitrogen recovery, molecular mass distribution, and amino acid composition were determined. The results showed that papain and Flavourzyme could hydrolyze the little loligo squid protein efficiently, and the degree of hydrolysis was up to 25.82% under the optimum hydrolysis conditions. The average molecular mass of hydrolysates obtained with papain and Flavourzyme was 1,246 Da, and the low molecular mass peptides were the main fraction of hydrolysates. The yield, moisture, and nitrogen recovery of freeze-dried hydrolysates was 19.8, 4.4, and 74.2%, respectively. Compared with suggested patterns of amino acid requirements by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO), the hydrolysates of the little loligo squid had high nutritional value, and was a potential nutritious supplement used in various food products.     

Characterization of Collagen Enzymatic Hydrolysates Derived from Lizardfish (Synodus fuscus) Scales

Acid soluble collagen was extracted from the scales of lizardfish and characterized with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and amino acid analysis. After 8 h of collagen hydrolysis, hydrolysates had an estimated degree of hydrolysis (DH) from 4 ± 0.05 to 25 ± 0.63% (p < 0.05). All hydrolysates had angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant activity. These activity levels showed little change after treatment with gastrointestinal proteases. Results indicated that the lizardfish by-products may be improved by enzymatic treatment with acid-soluble collagen from lizardfish scales.

In vitro release of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, peroxyl-radical scavengers and antibacterial compounds by enzymatic hydrolysis of glycated gluten

The combined effect of gluten glycation and proteolysis on the release of compounds exhibiting in vitro angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory, antioxidant and antibacterial activities was investigated. Model systems consisting of wheat gluten and glucose were heated at 120 °C for 45 min, 150 °C for 30 min and 220 °C for 30 min to produce various Maillard reaction products mimicking reactions occurring in bread crusts. Progress of the Maillard reaction was estimated through indirect measurement of Amadori compounds as 2-furoylmethyl-amino acids. Glycation was followed by digestion with Pronase E and ultrafiltration. The anti-hypertensive activity was measured as the ability to inhibit the activity of angiotensin I-converting enzyme involved in hypertension regulation. The Oxygen Radical Absorbance assay was used to measure the peroxyl radical scavenging capacity of the products and their effect on microbial growth of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphlococcus aureus ATCC 25923 was also studied. Advanced products of the reaction enhanced the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of gluten hydrolysates and decreased the overall ACE inhibitory activity. Ultrafiltration provided a useful method for separating compounds (< 3000 Da) with ACE inhibitory activity and advanced Maillard reaction products (>3000 Da) which scavenged peroxyl radicals and inhibited the microbial growth.

Study on Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Gadus morrhua Skin Collagen and Molecular Weight Distribution of Hydrolysates

Process parameters on enzymatic hydrolysis and molecular weight （MW） distribution of collagen hydrolysates from Gadus morrhua skin were investigated. The optimal process parameters were obtained by the single-factor and orthogonal experiments. The molecular weight distribution of hydrolysates was determined using both Sephadex G25 partition and high speed liquid chromatography electricity spray mass spectrum （HPLC-ESI-MS）. Collagen hydrolysates were first gained by an alkaline protease ＂alcalase＂ for 3 h at temperature （50~C）, pH （10.0）, substrate concentration （75 g L-~）, and E/S （3%）. The molecular weight distribution of collagen hydrolysates ranged from 300 to 1 500 Da, and most of peptides were under 1 200 Da. Sephadex G25 partition and HPLC-ESI-MS should be successfully employed to determine the molecular weight distribution of collagen hydrolysates.

Pectic hydrolysates in the diet of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen): Growth performance,blood and liver biochemistry,histological parameters and intestinal contents

The aim of this study was to investigate the prebiotic potential of pectin hydrolysates that were extracted from agroindustrial waste (apple pomace—AP and passion fruit peel—PFP) and were added to the diet of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen). A 49‐day biological assay was conducted, and five test diets were evaluated: one diet was a control diet and the other four diets included pectin hydrolysates (2.5 and 5 g/kg). At 49 experimental days, biometric data and biological material were collected to determine the performance, plasma and liver and histological parameters and to evaluate the intestinal contents. The results were analysed by the normality test, which was followed by an analysis of the variance; the treatment means were compared by an orthogonal contrast analysis at a 5% level of significance. The inclusion of 2.5 g/kg apple pomace hydrolysates resulted in a greater production of butyric acid, increased thickness of the muscular layer and higher goblet cell count in the intestine. The inclusion of 5 g/kg apple pomace hydrolysates led to a greater concentration of liver protein. Further studies are needed to increase the knowledge about the use of these additives in the diet of silver catfish and to establish levels that allow greater gains for the species.

Optimization of Hydrolysis Conditions for the Production of the Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Peptides from Sea Cucumber Collagen Hydrolysates

The effects of different hydrolysis conditions on the angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory properties of giant red sea cucumber (Parastichopus californicus) collagen hydrolysates were investigated. Optimal conditions predicted by central composite rotatable design (CCDR) modeling for producing ACE inhibitory peptides were found to be 54.9°C, 1.76 h and an enzyme to substrate (E/S) ratio of 0.064. Compared with experiments performed under these optimal conditions, the predicted degree of hydrolysis (DH) and ACE inhibitory activities had error rates of 3 to 6%. Under optimum conditions, the molecular weights of collagen hydrolysates were less than 6.5 kDa. Lineweaver-Burk plots suggest that the collagen hydrolysates acted as competitive inhibitors with an inhibition constant (Ki) value of 0.706 mg/mL.
