Abstrakt: Background: Acid-induced hydrolysis of proteins has been used to improve the solubility and functional properties of various proteins, and could be a promising tool to facilitate the use of currently underutilized insoluble microalgae protein-rich fractions in food applications. However, the results of a prior study showed an unusual resistance of an insoluble microalgae protein-rich fraction to acid hydrolysis at room temperature.
Results: In the present study, the insoluble protein-rich fraction extracted from microalgae Chlorella prothothecoides was treated with 0.5 mol L -1 hydrochloric acid at 25, 45, 65 or 85 °C for 0-4 h. The results showed that hydrolysis of the fraction at 85 °C for 4 h led to decreases in the amount of insoluble protein-rich aggregates and the formation of fragments with a lower molecular weight, as well as an increase in protein solubility by approximately 40%. Nevertheless, some aggregated insoluble protein-rich particles remained, even after hydrolysis at 85 °C for 4 h.
Conclusion: The higher temperature improved the efficiency of the acid hydrolysis of the insoluble protein fraction from microalgae Chlorella prothothecoides, which is highly acid-resistant. Overall, an erosion-based mechanism was suggested for the acid hydrolysis of insoluble microalgae protein fraction. © 2019 The Authors.
