Enzyme(s)/starter culture

The skins of T. flavidus were hydrolyzed using different enzymes under the corresponding optimal temperature and pH conditions (alcalase, pH 8.0, 55 ℃; neutral protease, pH 7.0, 55 ℃; pepsin, pH 2.0, 37 ℃), with the same enzyme/substrate ratio of 2000 U/g and hydrolysis time of 5 h. Alcalase was indicated that the low-MW peptides were generally more active than high-MW peptides, selected for the generation of ACE-inhibitory peptides from T. flavidus.
