Low-molecular-weight gelatin hydrolysate （LMW-GH） of 700-- 1700 Da was produced using an ultrafiltration membrane bioreaetor system. Chemiluminescence analysis revealed that LMW-GH scavenges high free radicals in a concentration-dependent manner; IC50 value for superoxide and hydroxyl radicals was 442 and 285 μgmL-1, respectively. LMW-GH exhibited excellent inhibitory characteristics against melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity in B16 cells. Furthermore, LMW-GH notably increased in- traeellular glutathione （GSH）, which in turn suppressed melanogenesis. LMW-GH performs antioxidation activity, holding the potential of being used as a valuable ingredient in function foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals or nutriceuticals.展开更多

The hydrolysate treated by neutrase exhibited the highest antioxidant activity. Response surface methodology （RSM） was employed to optimize the hydrolysis conditions in an effort to obtain a mackerel protein hydrolysate （MPH） with the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity. The MPH was fractioned using a series of ultrafiltration membranes and five fractions, namely, MPH-I （〉10 kDa）, MPH-II （10-2.5 kDa）, MPH-III （1-2.5 kDa）, MPH-IV （0.4-1 kDa）, and MPH-V （below 0.4 kDa）, were obtained. DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, and the lipid peroxidation inhibition capability of these fractions were evaluated. The fractions in molecular weights 〈2.5 kDa （MPH-III, MPH-IV, and MPH-V）, which occupied 93.4% of the total fractions, showed the strongest antioxidant activity; and the antioxidant activities of the three fractions are similar to each other. Using SP Sephadex C-25 and Sephadex G-25 columns, eight fractions were obtained from the MPH （〈2.5 kDa）. The isolated peptide I （1 664 kDa） displayed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity. Therefore, MPH is a potential source of antioxidant peptides.展开更多
