Summary
A fish roe protein hydrolysate from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) trout roe protein hydrolysates (TRH) was produced by pepsin and Alcalase. Proximate, amino acid compositions, protein digestibility and molecular mass distribution of the hydrolysates were determined. The degree of hydrolysis was found to be 44.08% and 27.62% (pepsin and Alcalase, respectively). The two hydrolysates contained a high amount of essential amino acids (33.53% Alcalase–29.39% pepsin). The results showed that TRH by different enzymes is a good source of the leucine and lysine amino acids. The pepsin produced a white powder with higher brightness (L* = 89.50). Alcalase hydrolysate was brownish yellow in colour (L* = 52.85, a* = 10.30, b* = 26.25). The hydrolysates represented excellent antioxidant activities in various concentrations. TRHs showed a good foaming and emulsification properties. The results thus revealed that protein hydrolysates from rainbow trout roe could be used as food additives possessing essential amino acids and antioxidant activity.
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.
