In order to get products with antioxidant activity from Arca subcrenata Lischke, the optimal hydrolase and hydrolysis conditions were investigated in the paper. Three proteases (neutrase, alcalase and papain) were applied to hydrolyze the homogenate of A. subcrenata. An orthogonal design was used to optimize hydrolysis conditions, and the pH-stat methods was used to determine the degree of hydr...

The effects of adding mechanically deboned chicken (MDC) hydrolysates on the quality characteristics of imitation crab stick (ICS) during storage were investigated. ICS was prepared from Alaska Pollack, chicken breast surimi, and protein hydrolysates enzymatically extracted from MDC. ICS samples were divided into 4 groups: without protein hydrolysate (control), added with 0.5% protein hydrolysa...

In order to use sugarcane bagasse as a substrate for lactic acid production, optimum conditions for acid hydrolysis of the bagasse were investigated. After lignin extraction, the conditions were varied in terms of hydrochloric (HCl) or sulfuric (H(2)SO(4)) concentration (0.5-5%, v/v), reaction time (1-5h) and incubation temperature (90-120 degrees C). The maximum catalytic efficiency (E) was 10...

Putative phosphopeptides produced from enzyme hydrolysis of phosvitin were identified and characterised using MALDI-TOF/MS. Phosvitin was heat-pretreated and then hydrolysed using pepsin, thermolysin, and trypsin at their optimal pH and temperature conditions with or without partial dephosphorylation. Pepsin and thermolysin were not effective in producing phosphopeptides, but trypsin hydrolysis...

BACKGROUND Fermentations using Escherichia coli KO11, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 424A(LNH-ST), and Zymomonas mobilis AX101 are compared side-by-side on corn steep liquor (CSL) media and the water extract and enzymatic hydrolysate from ammonia fiber expansion (AFEX)-pretreated corn stover. RESULTS The three ethanologens are able produce ethanol from a CSL-supplemented co-fermentation at a metabo...

Previous reports from this laboratory (2, 3) have described the rapid induction of threonine dehydrase and ornithine transaminase in rat liver by the force feeding of casein hydrolysate. Preliminary evidence that this induction was repressed by dietary glucose, but not by dietary fat, was also presented (2). The present paper includes a comparison of the induction patterns obtained by casein hy...

In this study, enzymatic hydrolysis and cationization with epoxypropyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride of wheat protein, an economic protein complex containing great amount of disulfide bonds, were conducted to improve properties such as solubility and disassociation behaviour for recovery of damaged hair when used in shampoo. The optimal conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis were pH 8.2, 55°C wi...

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...

The growth yield of Thiobacillus intermedius is greater in glucose-yeast extract or glucose-casein hydrolysate broth than in comparable media without glucose. The quantity of glucose utilized in the glucose-supplemented media is much greater than the increase in cell yield observed relative to the unsupplemented media. Addition of glucose to cell-free extracts of glucose-yeast extract or glucos...
