Production of BCAA Fortified Soybean Powder Hydrolysate Using Enzymes from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Its Application in Functional Protein Formula Foods
Abstract:Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) are essential nutrients and include leucine, isoleucine, and valine, found in meat, dairy, and legumes. BCAA stimulate the building of protein in muscles and possibly reduce muscle breakdown. We prepared BCAA-fortified soybean powder hydrolysate (SPH) by treatment with crude enzyme from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NY124. We compared the soybean powder and SPH in terms of protein distribution and physical or taste properties using high-performance liquid chromatography, sodium d… Show more
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.
