Extraction of degraded proteins from red and green macroalgae using ultrasonic-assisted extraction and Fenton's reagent in combination by Lin Ching I, Chang Chia Hsin, Fan Chih Hsuan, Chiu Pei Chia, Tsai Shu Hsien, Chien Chuan Chi, Lee Shih Chi, Chung Cheng Pei, Lee Ming Yi

“…This enhanced degradation profile suggests that the pretreatment not only improves extraction efficiency but also promotes the production of functional protein hydrolysates. The surface hydrophobicity of the treated macroalgae significantly increased, while total and free sulfhydryl groups showed a decreasing trend, indicating that proteins were broken into smaller peptides, resulting in the destruction of sulfhydryl groups. …”
