Squid protein hydrolysates (SPH) were prepared from the Indian squid using papain. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for optimization of hydrolysis conditions, including temperature, time, and the enzyme-substrate ratio using DPPH radical scavenging activity as a response. The amino acid composition of SPH was compared with raw squid muscle. antioxidant activities were evaluated based on reducing power, metal chelation, ABTS, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide anion radical scavenging assays. SPH exhibited good ABTS radical scavenging activities of 96.50±0.90%, superoxide anion radical scavenging activities of 96.4±0.89%, reducing powers of 0.71±0.02, moderate hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of 64.03±2.11%, and metal chelating activities of 52.04±1.02%. antioxidant activities determined using a sardine minced model system showed 42% reduction in formation of secondary oxidative products as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), almost equivalent to reduction by ascorbic acid of 41.42% at 400 ppm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
