Abstract:

The method for extracting protein from dried Gracilaria lemaneiformis powder using ultrasonic assisted alkali dissolution and acid precipitation was optimized by single-factor experiment and Box-Behnken central composite design. The results indicated that the optimal extraction conditions were as follows: alkali concentration 0.2 mol·L-1, liquid-solid ratio 24:1 (mL·g-1), ultrasonic time 70 min and ultrasonic power 482 W. The extraction rate of protein was 73.78%. The effects of papain, alkaline protease, plant protein complex enzyme, trypsin and pepsin on antioxidant activity and molecular weight of hydrolysates from G. lemaneiformis were investigated. The results showed that the antioxidant activity of alkaline protease enzymolysis products was significantly higher than that of the other four hydrolysates and G. lemaneiformis protein. After 4 h of hydrolysis, the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), the DPPH free radical scavenging rate and the ABTS free radical scavenging rate of alkaline protease enzymolysis products were 81.88 μg·mL-1, 63.29% and 64.25%, respectively. The molecular weight of the hydrolysates was mainly below 1 500 u. This study could provide a reference for protein extraction and high value utilization of G. lemaneiformis.
