Chemical analysis and protein enzymatic hydrolysis of poly-floral bee pollen

This study assessed chemical components and enzymatic hydrolysis of bee pollen (BP) as an approach to modify its structure generate bioactive peptides which can be used functional ingredients. The food grade proteases Alcalase 2.4L Protamex were at optimized parameters. degree (DH), protein content molecular mass (MM) distribution the soluble in hydrolysates determined indicators for hydrolysis. highest DH was reached by (10.39 %), whereas showed lowest (9.31 %). total recovered from 16.01 % w/w 2.4 L 15.51 Protamex. Electrophoretic profile a range low (4.5 kDa) – medium (5.8-51 kDa), respectively. Protein recovery analysis MM provides data further research, taking into account trend using BP products.
