PROTEIN HYDROLYSATES FROM CHLORELLA SOROKINIANA MICROALGAE CELLS: CHARACTERIZATION, NUTRITIONAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Project no. 22134 · Status: Kapanmış (Yayın bekleniyor) · 2020
Summary
<p>This study evaluated the digestibility and bioactivity of protein hydrolysate obtained from heterotrophically cultivated Chlorella sorokiniana microalgae. Various cell disruption methods were applied to enhance protein extraction, and low-molecular-weight peptides were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis. The hydrolysates were assessed before and after in vitro digestion for biological activities such as DPP-IV inhibition, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition, and bile acid binding capacity. Results demonstrated improved protein digestibility and significant DPP-IV and AChE inhibitory activities, as well as high bile acid binding capacity. These findings highlight the potential of Chlorella sorokiniana as a functional food ingredient.</p>
