Three hydrolysates (MFH, MNH and MPH) were prepared from the enzymolysis of pea protein by malt powder respectively cooperating with flavourzyme, neutral protease and papain to study their functional properties and antioxidant activities. The results showed that compared with pea protein, the solubility, oil holding capacity and in vitro digestibility of hydrolysates were better. The antioxidant activities of pea protein after enzymolysis significantly increased(P<0.05). The DPPH· scavenging capacity IC50 of MFH, MNH and MPH were 5.64, 7.22, 8.95 mg/mL(based on protein mass concentration), respectively, and the ·OH scavenging capacity IC50 of MFH MNH and MPH were 145, 2.19, 2.04 mg/mL(based on protein mass concentration), respectively. Compared with protease hydrolysate, the bitterness of MNH was reduced. |
