Concentration-Dependent Investigation of the Inhibition of Bromelain Mediated Protein Hydrolysis on Egg Albumen through Coffea arabica
Chani-Brynn Leybourne
Abstract:The implications of caffeinated beverages on human health has been widely debated. In a population that consumes an average of 250 mg of caffeine daily, investigation of health concerns is of high importance. Analysis of five variations of Coffea arabica concentration was conducted on the hydrolysis of egg albumen by the proteolytic enzyme bromelain, over 15 minutes. The results suggest a statistically significant difference (p < < 0.05) in the rate of hydrolysis as a product of the concentration of Coff… Show more
