Production of Protein Hydrolysates from Cod Backbone Using Selected Enzymes: Evaluation of Antioxidative and Antimicrobial Activities of Hydrolysates by Dimitra Marinou, Charlotte Jacobsen, Davide Odelli, Krystalia Sarigiannidou, Ann-Dorit Moltke Sørensen

“…Three different enzymes were applied (Alcalase, Neutrase, and Protamex), and hydrolyses were carried out within the enzyme’s optima for pH and temperature for 0.5–6 h. The efficiency of the enzyme treatment was evaluated based on the protein extraction yield (PEY), the degree of hydrolysis (DH), and antioxidant activity using two different in vitro assays (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and iron chelation) and antimicrobial activity determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and disk diffusion assays. …”
