The optimal conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis for preparation of rapid salted and fermented anchovy sauce (SFAS) using various pretenses such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, crude enzyme from squid liver and viscera, Alcalase, Neutrase and Protamex were studied. SFAS prepared with squid viscera had higher level of VBN (173.6 mg/100 g) when stored for 70 days than other samples, and peroxide values were almost equal among all samples during fermentation period. Total amino acids and nonprotein nitrogenous compounds remarkably increased as SFAS treated with Alcalase or Protamex which exhibited higher the hydrolysis rate of $57\%$ at 60 day than others. The optimal pHs of trypsin, chymotryosin, Alcalase, Neutrase and Protamex on anchovy actomyosin were 7.5, 6.5, 6.5, 7.0 and 5.0, respectively. Optimal temperatures of trypsin, chymotryosin, Alcalase and Neutrase were 55, 45, 60 and $55^{\circ}C$, respectively. Otherwise, Protamex activity increased as temperature increased from 20 to $70^{\circ}C$. Protamex had higher $K_m$ (3.545) and $V_{max}$ value (2.688) than others. Protamex affected less by NaCl had $52.5\%$ activity at the fermentation condition of $20^{\circ}C$ and $25\%$ NaCl. Protamex appeared to be very effective for the hydrolysis of crude actomyosin from ancnovy.

The objective of this study is to optimize enzymatic hydrolysis of cooked krill by using Alcalase. To optimize krill hydrolysis on such dependent variables as TCA, DPPH-scavenging, and Fe-chelating activities by using Alcalase, independent variables of hydrolysis pH and temperature were investigated Their formulas and three dimensional graphs were obtained by using SAS and Maple softwares, respectively. For comparison of general composition of raw krill, its contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, and ash were 17.48%, 53.74%, 15.66%, and 10.21%, respectively, and for cooked krill, its contents were 4.80%, 71.84%, 5.26%, and 15.09%, respectively. The composition of fatty acids for cooked krill was similar to that of raw krill. The most abundant fatty acid was palmitic acid(16:0) and the following order was oleic acid(18:1), eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5), palmitoleic acid(16:1), and docosahexaenoic acid(22:6). For DH optimization of hydrolysates from cooked krill, its result was pH 8.5 and $66.6^{\circ}C$ hydrolysis temperature for the maximum DH of 29.4% For DPPH-antioxidative optimization of hydrolysates from raw krill, its maximum result of 27.1% was obtained in the hydrolysis condition of pH 7.4 and $67.5^{\circ}C$. For Fe-chelating optimization of hydrolysates from cooked krill, its maximum result of 24.9% was in the condition of pH 8.7 and $65.5^{\circ}C$. These results can be used for basic data for using krill products and other fish products as bioactive ingredients.

Antibacterial, antifungal, and Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum and F. tataricum) hydrolyzed by Viscozyme L and Alcalase 2.4 L were investigated. The Alcalase 2.4L-hydrolyzed buckwheat showed highest yield of 22.10-24.65%. F. esculentum hydrolysate treated with Viscozyme L from Salmonella typhimurium (clear zone: 3-4.7 mm) and Listeria monocytogenes (clear zone: 4-7.2 mm) showed highest antimicrobial activity among enzymes used. F. esculentum hydrolysate treated with Trichoderma reesei showed strongest antifungal activity among enzymes used (clear zone: 3.7-12 mm). Alcalase 2.4L-hydrolyzed F. esculentum and F. tataricum showed strong ACE inhibitory activities (61.19% and 94.48%, respectively).

To study affinity of proteolytic enzymes to soy proteins, the physicochemical and functional properties of enzymatically modified protein products, kinetic parameters and degree of hydrolysis were measured using trypsin, alcalase (serine type protease) and pronase. Bacterial alcalase and pronase showed much greater affinity to soy protein than animal intestinal trypsin. This effect was very significant when unheated soy isolate was used as a substrate. Specific activities of these enzymes decreased with the increment of substrate concentration (over 2.0%, w/v) when heat denatured soy protein was used as a substrate. However, the decrease in specific activity was negligible at substrate concentrations lower than 2.0%. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic results showed that the pattern of 2S protein band changed distinctly in alcalase hydrolysis as compared with those of trypsin and pronase. Protein solubilities of alcalase and pronase hydrolyzates increased by 25-30%, at their pI (pH 5.0) over the control. Virtually no change was observed in solubility by trypsin hydrolysis. Heat coagulability and calcium-tolerance of the protein increased by enzymatic hydrolysis. No clear tendency, however, was observed for emulsion properties, foam expansion and the amount of free -SH groups. The enzyme treatment considerably decreased foam stability.

Gryllus bimaculatus (GB) has recently been registered as a food variety in Korea. In the present study, we prepared protein hydrolysates from GB and evaluated their antioxidant capacity. Protein hydrolysates were prepared from dried GB using enzymatic hydrolysis using five different proteases, and protein hydrolysates showing high hydrolysis value (alcalase, flavourzyme, and neutrase) were separated further into fractions ${\leq}3kDa$ and then lyophilized. Based on $RC_{50}$ values of hydrolysates (${\leq}3kDa$) obtained from four different antioxidant analyses, the flavourzyme hydrolysates showed relatively high levels of antioxidant capacity among the three hydrolysates, and in particular, it showed considerably strong antioxidant activity in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. The flavourzyme hydrolysate also significantly inhibited peroxidation of linoleic acid. These results suggest that protein hydrolysates from GB represent potential sources of natural antioxidants. Our current studies are focused on identification of active peptides from the flavourzyme hydrolysate.

The purpose of this study was that the optimal hydrolysis conditions of endo- and exo-type enzymes were selected to utilize organic cheese byproducts. Optimal substrate concentration and optimum enzyme ratio were measured by using 4 kinds of endo-type enzymes (alcalase, neutrase, protamex, and foodpro alkaline protease) and two exo-type enzymes (flavourzyme and prozyme 2000P) for whey protein hydrolysis were analyzed using liquid chromatography. As a result, the optimal endo-type enzyme through the first enzyme reaction was selected as alcalse, and as a result of the secondary enzyme reaction, flavourzme was selected as the Exo type enzyme. The concentration of whey protein substrate for optimal primary and secondary enzyme reactions was 10%. In addition, the optimum ratio of enzyme was 0.5% of alcalase and 0.2% of flavourzyme, which showed low molecular weight chromatography pattern compared to 2% of alcalase and 1% of flavourzyme hydrolyzate. Therefore, hydrolyzing the endo-type enzyme alcalase at a concentration of 0.5% for 10 hours and then hydrolyzing the exo-type enzyme flavouryme at a concentration of 0.2% for 4 hours was considered to be the optimum condition.

Goat milk is highly nutritious and is consumed in many countries, but the development of functional foods from goat milk has been slow compared to that for other types of milk. The aim of this study was to develop a goat milk protein hydrolysate (GMPH) with enhanced digestibility and better hypoallergenic properties in comparison with other protein sources such as ovalbumin and soy protein. Goat milk protein was digested with four commercial food-grade proteases (separately) under various conditions to achieve the best hydrolysis of α_s -casein and β-lactoglobulin. It was shown that treatment with alcalase (0.4%, 60℃ for 30 min) effectively degraded these two proteins, as determined by SDS-PAGE, measurement of nonprotein nitrogen content, and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Hydrolysis with alcalase resulted in a significant decrease in β-lactoglobulin concentration (almost to nil) and a ~40% reduction in the level of α_s-casein. Quantification of histamine and TNF-α released from HMC-1 cells (human mast cell line) showed that the GMPH did not induce an allergic response when compared to the control. Hence, the GMPH may be useful for development of novel foods for infants, the elderly, and convalescent patients, to replace cow milk.

The aim of this study was to produce enzymatic hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA with alcalase for the possible application of hypoallergenic foods toward cow's milk allergenic infant. The molecular weights of most of the peptides in hydrolysates from ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA by alcalase were below 3,000 dalton. Antigenesity of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA hydrolysates to rabbit anti-${\alpha}$-LA antiserum, ${\beta}$-LG antiserum and BSA antiserum were remarkably decreased by more than $10^{-3}$ at 20% inhibitionrate. Antigenesity of polyvalent antigenic peptide in ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA hydrolysates to specific rabbit anti-${\alpha}$-LA antiserum, ${\beta}$-LG antiserum and BSA antiserum was determined by PCS test using guina-pig. Hydrolysates of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA with less than 3,000 dalton did not show polyvalent antigenic reaction against rabbit antiserum. Hydrolysates of ${\alpha}$-LA, ${\beta}$-LG and BSA could be a source for the manufacturing of hypoallergenic food.

Egg is an important foods containing many good proteins. But it is well known that egg protein has a lot of allergenicity. The purpose of this study is to develop the methods to reduce the allergenicity of egg. I tried various experimental methods ; For example, heat treatment, irradiation with ultraviolet and microwaves, treatment with polyphosphate, enzyme hydrolysis and PCA inhibition test using guinea pigs and degrees of hydrolysis. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. Heat treatment reduced allergenicity of egg protein. The longer the heat time, the better the effect. 2. Irradiating with ultraviolet and microwave increased both the degree of protein hydrolysis and PCA inhibition reduced the allergenicity. Ultraviolet was more effective than microwaves on egg protein. Fertilized eggs did not reduce allergenicity. 3. Enzyme treatment increased the degree of hydrolysis and PCA inhibition, and reduced allergenicity considerably. Alcalase was more effective than neutrase. 4. Adding polyphosphate did not induced protein hydrolysis, but increased PCA inhibition and reduced allergenicity. 5. The picture of various treatments of egg gel by SEM showed a light surface which indicated that protein was desolved. Neutrase was lighter than alcalase, and the longer the heating time, the lighter the surface became. 6. Measurements of the hardness of egg gel by Instron showed that the longer the reaction time with enzyme, the softer it became.

This study used response surface methodology to investigate the optimal conditions to reduce the bitterness of alcalase-treated anchovy hydrolysate (AAH) by the aminopeptidase active fraction (AAF) derived from the common squid Todarodes pacificus hepatopancreas. The central composite design selected AAF/AAH ratio (X₁, %) and hydrolysis time (X₂, h) as independent variables, and the degree of hydrolysis (Y₁) and bitterness (Y₂) as dependent variables. The uncoded values of the multiple response optimization for independent variables were 3.4% for the AAF/AAH ratio and 9.2 h for the hydrolysis time. The predicted values of the yield and bitterness score of alcalase-AAF continuously treated anchovy hydrolysate (AAAH) under the optimized conditions were 68.9% and 4.6 points, respectively. Their measured values of 69.5% for yield and 4.6±0.5 points for bitterness were similar to the predicted values. The food components of AAAH were 91.4% (moisture), 7.5% (protein), 0.1% (lipid) and 0.6% (ash). The findings indicate the potential value for use as an anchovy seasoning base. The results also confirm that the bitterness of AAH was remarkably improved by AAF and implicates AAF derived from squid hepatopancreas as a good enzyme to catalyze reduced bitterness.
