Molecular Weight-Dependent Functional and Antioxidant Properties of Glutamine-Rich Corn Protein Hydrolysate: Insights into the Predicted Structural Characteristics of Identified Peptides
In this study, corn protein hydrolysates (CPT) were prepared via enzymatic hydrolysis using Alcalase and Protamex, and then fractionated by ultrafiltration into three molecular weight components: >5 kDa (CPT1), 3–5 kDa (CPT2), and <3 kDa (CPT3). The physicochemical, functional and in vitro antioxidant properties of eac...
