Influence of the extent of enzymatic hydrolysis on the functional properties of protein hydrolysates from visceral waste of .

The study aimed to evaluate the extent of hydrolysis on the functional properties of fish protein hydrolysates from fish wastes. Fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) was prepared from the visceral waste of Rohu () using Alcalase. Independent variables of the hydrolysis conditions, namely, time, temperature and enzyme-substrate ratio were optimized through response surface methodology using a completely randomized factorial design.

Effect of feeding habits of fish on the characteristics of collagenolytic proteases isolated from the visceral waste.

In this study, influence of feeding habits of fish on the activity of collagenolytic proteases (CP) has been investigated. CP from the visceral waste of freshwater fish (Pangas, Rohu and Common carp) of different feeding habits was isolated and partially purified by 2-steps, (NH)SO fractionation and dialysis. Enzymatic activity and purification fold was determined in each step.
