Amino acid profile, peptide size distribution, antioxidant effect, and enzyme inhibitory activities of fava bean (Vicia fava) protein hydrolyzates

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the amino acid profile, peptide molecular size distribution, antioxidant effects, and enzyme inhibitory activity of fava bean protein hydrolyzates (FBPHs). The hydrolyzates were prepared using six proteases: alcalase hydrolyzate (ALCH), chymotrypsin hydrolyzate (CHYH), flavourzyme hydrolyzate (FAVH), pepsin hydrolyzate (PEPH), thermoase hydrolyzate (THEH), and trypsin hydrolyzate (TRYH). Results showed that FAVH and PEPH had significantly (p
