The yield of proteolylic hydrolysis for spent brewer’s yeast by protease and aminoacid contents of hydrolysates (the main factors influencing in taste of hydrolysed product) depends on factors influencing in catalytic activities of enzymes as temperature, pH value, type of used enzymes and ratio enzyme/substrate. With the purpose to hydrolyse the spent brewer’s yeast for food application, bitterness of hydrolysate takes the firth consideration, and than the yield of hydrolysing process plays economic role. In this paper, it is dealt with determination of optimal conditions to obtain the highest yield of hydrolysis process and the lowest bitterness of hydrolysate (the bitterness is determined by sensory evaluation, expressed equivalently with concentration of quinine). Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to determine optimum condition for batch proteolytic hydrolysis of spent brewer’s yeast. The influencing factors were investigated as temperature (X1): 40 oC–60 oC; pH (X2): 6.0–9.0, ratio E (flavourzyme)/S (X3): 5–10 U/g and hydrolysis time (X4): 6–9 hours. The experimental responses including degree of hydrolysis (Y1) (%) and bitterness of hydrolysate (Y2) (μmol quinine/ml) are performed in second-degree model. The optimal conditions for obtaining high degree of hydrolysis and low bitterness are determined: Ratio of enzyme mixture (alcalase 7.5 U/g and flavourzyme 8.5 U/g), pH 7.5, hydrolysis temperature at 52oC and hydrolysis time 9 hours. Under the optimal conditions, the actual values obtained for the yield of hydrolysis was 40.81 ± 0.044 % and the bitterness equivalently with concentration of quinine was 16.37 ± 0.03 μmol quinine/ml. |
