Antioxidative activity of protein hydrolysates from egg white hydrolyzed by Pepsin with different Degrees of Hydrolysis (DHs) was investigated. As the DH increased from 6.47 to 18.22%, the antioxidative activity of Egg White Protein Hydrolysates (EWPHs) first increased and then decreased, except for the reducing power of EWPHs. The EWPHs with DH 16.93% showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity (96.07±3.84%), hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (36.82±1.46%), superoxide anion scavenging activity (67.72±2.51%) and inhibitory activity of tea oil autoxidation (62.68±2.32%) compared to other EWPHs. At DH 18.22%, the EWPHs exhibited the strongest reducing power (0.34±0.014). The results revealed that antioxidative activity of protein hydrolysates from egg white was determined by the DH. According to the experimental results, the EWPHs have potential for use as a natural antioxidant for food preservation. |
