Casein and whey proteins with and without heat treatment were obtained of whole milk and four commercial milks in Ecuador, and were hydrolyzed. Then, their capacity to inhibit the lipid peroxidation using the TBARS method was evaluated at concentrations of 0.02, 0.04, 0.2, and, 0.4 mg/mL. Native and heated hydrolysates of milk proteins present high inhibitions of lipid peroxidation with a dose ...

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have the potential to play a role as molecular sensors responsive to luminal dietary contents. Although such a role for GPCRs has been implicated in the intestinal response to protein hydrolysate, no GPCR directly involved in this process has been previously identified. In the present study, for the first time, we identified GPR93 expression in enterocytes an...

Protein hydrolysate is highly regarded as a source of naturally occurring antioxidant peptides. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Ultrasonic (Frequency, 20 KHz; Amplitude, 50%; Time, 30 min) and high-pressure homogenization (Power, 1500 bar; Rated flow, 10 dm/h) pretreatmenton the enzymatic hydrolysis and antioxidant properties of yeast protein hydrolysate obtained from...

It has been suggested that protein hydrolysates providing mainly di- and tripeptides are superior to intact (whole) proteins and free amino acids in terms of skeletal muscle protein anabolism. This review provides a critical examination of protein hydrolysate studies conducted in healthy humans with special reference to sports nutrition. The effects of protein hydrolysate ingestion on blood ami...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), which is one of the most abundant crops in the world, is cultivated widely in China, the United States, and Central Asia. The cotton stalk generated with cotton cultivation is an important source of lignocellulosic biomass. In recent years, cotton stalk has received increasing attention from researchers engaged in bioconversion areas, and some high-value products, s...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the administration of egg white hydrolysates on obesity-related disorders, with a focus on lipid metabolism, inflammation and oxidative stress, in Zucker fatty rats. Obese Zucker rats received water, pepsin egg white hydrolysate (750 mg/kg/day) or Rhizopus aminopeptidase egg white hydrolysate (750 mg/kg/day) for 12 weeks. Lean Zucker rats recei...

The purpose of this study was to investigate coating process of tablets with the novel starch hydrolysate emulsion. The process was performed manually in a coating pan rotating 35 rpm, with a stream of dry air (40 - 45 degrees C). The coated tablets were of fairly good quality. A total tablet surface was calculated for evaluation of quantity of starch hydrolysate emulsion for one step of coatin...

Xylitol can be obtained from wheat straw hemicellulose containing a high content of xylan. This study describes a new system of hydrolysis, utilizing a mixed solution of formic acid and hydrochloric acid in which xylan can be hydrolyzed effectively. The hydrolysate contains a high content of formic acid, which markedly inhibits the fermentation. One of the most efficient methods for removing in...

Amino acid absorption from a peptide-containing protein hydrolysate and an equivalent amino acid mixture over a range of concentrations of the two--such as is thought to be found in the normal intestine after a meal--has been studied using a jejunal perfusion technique in man. The relative rates of amino acid absorption from the protein hydrolysate and amino acid mixture varied markedly with co...

Background Breastfeeding is the gold standard of infant feeding, however not all infants with cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) tolerate human milk. In these cases, it seems recommended the use of extensively hydrolyzed formula (eHF). Preliminary analyses such as antigenicity and protein quality evaluation are needed to ensure that new formula will be nutritionally suitable, tolerated and safe ...
