Abstract:The optimal process conditions for hydrolyzing chicken embryo protein by trypsin or bromelain were determined using one-factor-at-a-time combined with orthogonal array design method. Under the optimal process conditions, the degree of hydrolysis of chicken embryo protein by trypsin and bromelain were 45.53% and 38.17%, and the resulting hydrolyates contained 20.15 mg/mL and 22.69 mg/mL soluble protein and 62.55 mg/mL and 50.26 mg/mL polypeptides, respectively. These results demonstrate that bromelain is more suitable to hydrolyze chicken embryo protein than trypsin.
