Hypothesis
The study investigates the optimal conditions for producing antioxidant hydrolysates from Arca subcrenata using three different proteases.
Conclusion
Alcalase was found to be the most effective enzyme for producing hydrolysates with superior antioxidant activity.
Supporting Evidence
- Alcalase hydrolysate showed superior antioxidant activity compared to neutrase and papain hydrolysates.
- The EC50 values for DPPH radical scavenging were 6.23 mg/ml for alcalase hydrolysate.
- Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity was highest in alcalase hydrolysate with an EC50 of 19.09 mg/ml.
Takeaway
The researchers found that a special enzyme can help make a sea creature's parts into something that helps keep our bodies healthy by fighting bad stuff.
Methodology
The study used enzymatic hydrolysis with three proteases and optimized conditions through an orthogonal design.
Limitations
The study did not explore the long-term effects of the hydrolysates or their bioavailability in humans.
