This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of added phytate and pH on the solubility and in vitro digestibility of low-phytate rapeseed protein isolate. Phytate content of low-phytate rapeseed protein isolate was 1.5%, as a result of 66% removal from defatted rapeseed flour and the protein: phytate ratio was 58:1. Solubility of rapeseed protein isolate at pH 2.0 and pH 11.5 was much higher than near the isoelectric point, pH 5.0. It's solubility was lowered by adding an increased amount of phytate especially at pH 2.0. The inhibitory effect of phytate toward pepsin digestibility of rapeseed protein isolate decreased by the increasing amount of phytate added. It is suggested that the production of low-phytate rapeseed protein isolate is necessary to improve the functionality and nutritional value in order to utilize it as food material.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of pH and phytate level on the solubility of the protein due to binding between phytate and low-phytate rapeseed protein isolate by means of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Results showed that the number of protein bands decreased by the increasing amount of phytate added to the soluble extract at pH 2.0 and 5.0 whereas there was no change at pH 11.5. Among 18 bands of rapeseed proteins at pH 2.0, seven bands (105.8, 52.3, 37.3, 34.8, 26.3, 21.3, 18.4 KDa) were removed by precipitation with 100 mg phytate addition and six bands (78.8, 46.5, 19.4, 16.8, 11.7, 8.5 KDa) further disappeared by 150 mg phytate addition. Among 15 bands at pH 5.0, only four bands disappeared by phytate addition. It is suggested that the functionality of rapeseed protein isolate can be improved by lowering the phytate content.

This study was designed to determine the apparent digestibility coefficients of soybean meal, soy protein concentrate (SPC), soy protein isolate (SPI), rapeseed meal (RSM), pea protein concentrate (PPC), wheat gluten meal (WGM) and wheat flour (WF) for olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. A reference diet (RF) was formulated to meet the nutrient requirements of olive flounder with 1% chromic oxide (Cr₂O₃) as an inert indicator. Test diets were prepared to contain 70% RF and 30% of the test ingredient. Olive flounder, averaging 150 ± 8.0 g, was cultured in 400-L fiberglass tanks at a density of 25 fish per tank. Fecal collection columns were attached to each tank. Fecal samples were obtained from triplicate groups of fish for 4 weeks. Dry matter digestibility of SPC (75%) and WGM (76%) were significantly higher than the other test ingredients. Protein digestibility of SPC (85%), PPC (88%) and WGM (89%) were significantly higher than the other test ingredients, and protein digestibility of RSM (77%) and WF (76%) was lower than the other ingredients tested. Lipid digestibility of SPC (72%) and SPI (69%) were significantly higher than the other test ingredients. Energy digestibility of SPC (85%) and WGM (82%) were significantly higher than that of others tested ingredients. The availability of amino acids in WGM was generally higher than in other plant-feed ingredients. Therefore, SPC and WGM were seems to be efficient as potential protein sources for olive flounder compared to other tested ingredients. Overall, findings of the current study may assist in more efficient and economical formulation of diets using plant feed ingredients for olive flounder.
