Preliminary Studies on Oyster Protein / 中国海洋药物

Oyster protein was extracted from fresh oyster using salting-out method. It was determined by Kjeldahl procedure that the protein content was about 38. 6% and free amino-ni-trogen content of total nitrogen was about 21. 6%. Hydrolytic characteristic of oyster protein was analyzed by hydrolytic enzymes. SDS-PAGE results showed there were 4 types of protein zones. And the average molecular weight was 16172, 17633, 43227 and 57909, respectively.

Study on the enzymatic hydrolysis technology of oyster / 中国海洋药物

Objective To research the optimum hydrolysis conditions of oyster protein so as to raise the protein recovery and degree of hydrolysis.Methods Considering protein recovery,degree of hydrolysis,bitterness and clarity,the best enzyme was selected;Orthogonal test was designed to determine the best enzyme hydrolysis conditions;Based on hydrolysis and protein recovery,the effect of heat treatment,ultrasound and microwave processing and handling on enzymatic hydrolysis of oyster were investigated.Results and Conclusion Bromelain protease was suitable for the proteolysis of oyster,and the optimal conditions were:pH 6,temperature 55℃,substrate concentration 1∶3,E/S=800U/g,4 hours.In the optimal condition,the recovery of protein and degree of hydrolysis were 67.55%and 29.86% respectively in the hydrolysate.Heating,ultrasound technology and microwave treatments before hydro-lysis were harmful to enzymatic hydrolysis of oyster.
