Abstract

Hydrolysis of the proteins from cod bone was performed using flavourzyme and trypsin. The nutritional properties of hydrolysates by flavourzyme (HF) and trypsin (HT) were investigated. By comparison, HF exhibits a better degree of hydrolysates (DH) and nitrogen recovery (NR) than HT. The protein content of extract is 97.39% and had a good nutritional value due to the high protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of 0.95 for adults. The content of total amino acids is 942.55 mg/g. The free amino acids content of hydrolysates derived from flavourzyme is 136.82 mg/g after hydrolyzing 3 h, while 17.12 mg/g of such hydrolysates was obtained by using trypsin. The main flavor compounds are alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids and alkanes. The molecular weight of predominant peptides ranged from 1000 to 3000 Da in both enzymatic hydrolysates. This study provided a theoretical basis to the preparation of nutritional components with attracting flavor in functional food industry.
