In this study, corn protein hydrolysates (CPT) were prepared via enzymatic hydrolysis using Alcalase and Protamex, and then fractionated by ultrafiltration into three molecular weight components: >5 kDa (CPT1), 3-5 kDa (CPT2), and 50 values for ABTS radical scavenging and hydroxyl radical scavenging of 0.042 ± 0.003 mg/mL and 0.807 ± 0.019 mg/mL, respectively.
What the research examined
Finally, 205 glutamine peptides were further identified from CPT3, and their structural characterization revealed that the identified peptides were rich in hydrophobic amino acids and had a high affinity for membrane proteins, which could serve as potential ligands for regulating intestinal barrier dysfunction.
What the findings mean
In summary, CPT3 possesses excellent functional properties and antioxidant activity, indicating its potential for development and application in functional and health foods.
