Usability of size-excluded fractions of soy protein hydrolysates for growth and viability of Chinese hamster ovary cells in protein-free suspension culture

To investigate the effect of size-excluded fraction of non-animal protein hydrolysate on growth, viability and longevity of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, several commercially available protein hydrolysates were evaluated as a feed supplement to chemically-defined protein-free suspension culture. Soy protein hydrolysates showed better supporting capability for cell growth and viability than the other types of hydrolysates. Maximal cell growth was not affected greatly by size exclusion of some soy hydrolysates such as bacto soytone and soy hydrolysates. CHO cells supplemented with size-excluded fractions of the two hydrolysates showed viable cell density and viability almost equal to those with their crude hydrolysates, although soy hydrolysates showed a little better performance. This suggested that the size-excluded hydrolysate fractions of some soy hydrolysate might be a potential culture medium additive to achieve better downstream operation in a large-scale production as well as enhanced productivity.     

Trypsin Hydrolysed Protein Fractions as Radical Scavengers and Anti-bacterial Agents from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ficus deltoidea</Emphasis>

Different molecular sizes of protein hydrolysates were prepared from the crude protein extract of Ficus deltoidea using the technique of membrane ultrafiltration after trypsin hydrolysis. Gel electrophoretic images shows the presence of 12, 8, 7 and 7 protein bands for the protein fractions prepared from the molecular weight cut-off of 3, 10, 30 and 100 kDa, respectively. The protein hydrolysates were found to have higher radical scavenging activity than those unhydrolysed fractions at the similar molecular size. They exhibited significant differences in the radical scavenging activities based on one-way analysis of variance, except for the protein hydrolysates of 30 and 100 kDa. The smallest protein hydrolysates, 3 kDa appeared to have the comparable activity (30%) with bovine serum albumin as a positive control in this study. Similarly, the 3 kDa protein hydrolysates achieved the highest inhibitory activity (87.5%) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa at the concentration of 128 µg/mL. The protein hydrolysates were found to be more effective against gram negative bacteria (P. aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) because of lower minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and effective inhibitory concentration at 50% (EC₅₀) than gram positive bacterium (Staphylococcus aureus). Trypsin catalysed hydrolysis seemed to improve the anti-bacterial activity of protein hydrolysates in a bacterial strain dependent manner. The MIC could achieve 1–55 µg/mL at different molecular sizes of protein fractions. Mass spectra matching revealed that 26% of 226 identified proteins belonged to the category of plant defensive proteins in stress management and metal handling.     

Properties and uses of protein hydrolysates (Review)

Properties of protein hydrolysates and possible uses of these substances in research and various branches of industry are considered. The main problem discussed in this paper is the relationship between the degree of protein conversion and characteristics (structural-functional and physicochemical) of hydrolysates.     

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory and antioxidative properties of milk protein-derived dipeptides and hydrolysates

Selected synthetic dipeptides and milk protein hydrolysates were evaluated for their dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory properties, and their superoxide (SO) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities. DPP-IV inhibition was seen with eight out of the twelve dipeptides and 5 of the twelve hydrolysates studied. Trp-Val inhibited DPP-IV, however, inhibition was not observed with the reverse peptide Val-Trp. The most potent hydrolysate inhibitors were generated from casein (CasH2) and lactoferrin (LFH1). Two Trp containing dipeptides, Trp-Val and Val-Trp, and three lactoferrin hydrolysates scavenged DPPH. The dipeptides had higher SO EC₅₀ values compared to the milk protein hydrolysates (arising from three lactoferrin and one whey protein hydrolysates). Higher molecular mass fractions of the milk protein hydrolysates were associated with the SO scavenging activity. Trp-Val and one lactoferrin hydrolysate (LFH1) were multifunctional displaying both DPP-IV inhibitory and antioxidant (SO and DPPH scavenging) activities. These compounds may have potential as dietary ingredients in the management of type 2 diabetes by virtue of their ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species and to extend the half-life of incretin molecules.

In vitro assessment of the cardioprotective, anti-diabetic and antioxidant potential of Palmaria palmata protein hydrolysates

The contribution of protein fraction and proteolytic enzyme preparation to the in vitro cardioprotective, anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity of Palmaria palmata protein hydrolysates was investigated. Aqueous, alkaline and combined aqueous and alkaline P. palmata protein fractions were hydrolysed with the food-grade proteolytic preparations, Alcalase 2.4 L, Flavourzyme 500 L and Corolase PP. The hydrolysates had angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP) IV inhibitory activity with IC₅₀ values in the range 0.19–0.78 and 1.65–4.60 mg mL^?1, respectively. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) values ranged from 45.17 to 467.54 and from 1.06 to 21.59 μmol trolox equivalents/g, respectively. Furthermore, hydrolysates (1 mg mL^?1) were show to inhibit renin within the range 0–50 %. In general, Alcalase 2.4 L and Corolase PP hydrolysates of aqueous protein displayed the highest in vitro activity. The results indicate that protein fraction and enzyme preparation used have significant effects on in vitro biofunctional activity of the hydrolysates. This study demonstrates the potential of P. palmata protein hydrolysates as multifunctional functional food ingredients for the prevention/control of hypertension and type II diabetes.     

Opposite Contributions of Glycinin- and β-Conglycinin-Derived Peptides to the Aggregation Behavior of Soy Protein Isolate Hydrolysates

The aggregation behavior as a function of pH was studied for hydrolysates obtained by hydrolysis of soy protein isolate (SPI) and glycinin- and β-conglycinin-rich protein fractions with subtilisin Carlsberg. The substrates were hydrolyzed up to degrees of hydrolysis (DH) of 2.2% and 6.5%. Compared with nonhydrolyzed SPI, a decrease in solubility was observed for the hydrolysates of SPI [0.8% (w/v) protein, I = 0.03 M] around neutral pH. At pH 8.0, glycinin hydrolysates had a much lower solubility (∼43% and 60%, respectively, for DH 2.2% and 6.5%) than SPI and β-conglycinin-derived hydrolysates, which were almost completely soluble. Peptides that aggregated were all larger than 5 kDa, and as estimated by size-exclusion chromatography their composition was almost independent of the aggregation pH. The solubility of hydrolysates of SPIs with a varying glycinin and β-conglycinin composition showed that glycinin-derived peptides are the driving force for the lower solubility of SPI hydrolysates. The solubility of SPI hydrolysates at pH 8.0 was shown not to be the sum of that of glycinin and β-conglycinin hydrolysates. Assuming that the separate hydrolysis of glycinin and β-conglycinin did not differ from that in the mixture (SPI), this indicates that β-conglycinin-derived peptides have the ability to inhibit glycinin-derived peptide aggregation.     

Functional,antioxidant and antibacterial properties of protein hydrolysates prepared from fish meat fermented by Bacillus subtilis A26

Composition, functional properties and in vitro antioxidant and antibacterial activities of protein hydrolysates prepared with a proteolytic bacterium, Bacillus subtilis A26, through fermentation of fish proteins were investigated. Fermented fish meat protein hydrolysates (FPHs) were prepared from sardinelle (SPH), zebra blenny (ZPH) goby (GPH) and ray (RPH). The protein content of freeze-dried FPHs ranged from 74.3% to 81%. All fermented hydrolysates had an excellent solubility and possessed interfacial properties. The antioxidant activities of FPHs were evaluated by different methods, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical method, reducing power assay, β-carotene bleaching and DNA nicking assay. All hydrolysates showed dose-dependent antioxidant activities. Further, FPHs exhibited antibacterial activity and SPH was the most effective, particularly against Gram positive bacteria.

A method to determine protein of bacteria grown in agar

A method is described to determine the amount of protein of bacteria grown in agar. Amino acid contents of hydrolysates of agar cultures are compared with the amino acids in hydrolysates of the same bacteria grown in a liquid medium. In the latter medium also the amount of bacterial protein is determined. From these data the protein content of bacteria grown in agar can be calculated.     

Assessment of the production costs of fish protein hydrolysates

An assessment of the production costs of fish protein hydrolysates has shown that, while costs will be higher than for fish meal production, a more detailed economic examination would be warranted. The estimated cost of the dried product suggests that hydrolysates, high in protein, will be attractive as milk replacers.     

Characterization of soy protein hydrolysates and influence of its iron content on monoclonal antibody production by a murine hybridoma cell line

A challenging aspect with the use of protein hydrolysates in commercial manufacturing processes of recombinant therapeutic proteins is their impacts on the protein production due to a lack of understanding of batch-to-batch variability. Soy hydrolysates variability and its impact on fed-batch production of a recombinant monoclonal antibody (mAb) expressed in Sp2/0 cells were studied using 37 batches from the same vendor. The batch-to-batch variability of soy hydrolysates impacted cell growth, titer and product quality. Physicochemical characterization of batches confirmed that soy hydrolysates are mainly a source of amino acids and peptides containing lower amounts of other components such as carbohydrates and chemical elements in cell culture media. Soy hydrolysates composition of different batches was consistent except for trace elements. Statistical analyses identified iron as a potential marker of a poor process performance. To verify this correlation, two forms of iron, ferric ammonium citrate and ferrous sulfate, were added to a batch of soy hydrolysates associated to a low level of iron during cell culture. Both forms of iron reduced significantly cell growth, mAb titer and increased level of the acidic charge variants of the mAb. Consequently, trace element composition of soy hydrolysates or of all incoming raw materials might lead to significant impacts on process performance and product quality and therefore need to be tightly controlled.     

Influence of the rapeseed protein hydrolysis process on CHO cell growth

Different protein hydrolysates were prepared from enzymatic hydrolyses of a rapeseed isolate (>90% protein content) using different commercial enzymes of non-animal origin. The extent of hydrolysis was controlled to produce hydrolysates corresponding to various degrees of hydrolysis (DH) from 5 to 30. These hydrolysates were characterized according to their solubility and size peptide pattern. Different growth behaviours of Chinese Hamster Ovary cells were observed when these various hydrolysates were added in serum-free medium containing transferrin, albumin and insulin. Hydrolysates from low degree of hydrolysis generally did not exhibit significant positive effect on cell growth; conversely hydrolysates from extensive hydrolysis, corresponding to a major low molecular size peptides content, usually allowed an increase of the maximal cell density. However, depending on the enzyme used, the supplementation with hydrolysates corresponding to a high degree of hydrolysis and composed of at least 70% peptides with a molecular size under 1kDa, led to different maximal cell density values, indicating the importance of enzyme specificity and consequently the nature of the released peptides. This result showed that the positive influence of the rapeseed hydrolysates on cell growth was not only due to a nutritional support tied to the addition of small peptides but may be related to the presence of peptides exhibiting growth or survival factor effects. Furthermore, total substitution of proteins (transferrin, albumin and insulin) in the cell culture medium by some rapeseed hydrolysates appeared to be a promising alternative to improve the cell growth in protein-free media.     

Chemometric analysis of soy protein hydrolysates used in animal cell culture for IgG production – An untargeted metabolomics approach

Soy protein hydrolysates are used as the most cost effective medium supplement to enhance cell growth and recombinant protein productivity in cell cultures. Such hydrolysates contain diverse classes of compounds, such as peptides, carbohydrates and phenolic compounds. To identify if specific compounds dominate the functionality of hydrolysates in cell cultures, thirty samples of hydrolysates with different cell culture performances were analyzed for chemical composition using an untargeted metabolomics approach. Out of 410 detected compounds, 157 were annotated. Most of the remaining 253 compounds were identified as peptides, but could not be annotated exactly. All compounds were quantified relatively, based on their average signal intensities. The cell growth and total immunoglobulin (IgG) production, relative to the CD medium (100%), ranged from 148 to 438% and 117 to 283%, respectively. Using bootstrapped stepwise regression (BSR), the compounds with the highest inclusion frequency were identified. The most important compound, i.e. phenyllactate and ferulate explained 29% and 30% of the variance for cell growth and total IgG production, respectively. Surprisingly, all compounds identified in the BSR showed a positive correlation with cell growth and total IgG production. This knowledge can be applied to monitor the production and accumulation of these compounds during the production process of hydrolysates. Consequently, the processing conditions can be modulated to produce soy protein hydrolysates with enhanced and consistent cell culture performance.     

Production and purification of protein hydrolysates (review)

The nature of the organic nitrogen of soils

Summary Examination of the 6N HC1 hydrolysates from 14 different proteins indicated that a considerable proportion of the total protein nitrogen in the hydrolysates, as determined by the micro-Kjeldahl method, was not accounted for by the NH₄-N and the α amino nitrogen found in the hydrolysates. It seems clear that this hydrolysable unidentified nitrogen (HUN) originates mainly from non-amino nitrogen atoms present in arginine, tryptophan, lysine and proline. These nitrogen atoms do not satisfy the conditions necessary for reaction with ninhydrin. The amounts of each amino acid in a particular protein determine the HUN value which will be obtained for 6N HC1 hydrolysates of that protein. There is good agreement between the HUN values for a wide range of proteins when calculated from the amino acid composition of the protein and when determined experimentally. It is concluded that these findings indicate a considerably higher content of amino acid nitrogen in the organic nitrogen of soils and leaf litter than was previously considered to be the case. It is suggested that the findings support the contention that the organic nitrogen of soils contains leaf protein complexes.     

Functional,bioactive and antioxidative properties of hydrolysates obtained from cod (Gadus morhua) backbones

Fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) have good and well documented functional properties. Peptides obtained from various fish protein hydrolysates have also shown bioactive and antioxidative activities.The aim of this study was to evaluate how storage and preparation of cod (Gadus morhua) backbones influence the yield, functionality, bioactivity (CGRP and gastrin/CCK related molecules) and antioxidative properties of fish protein hydrolysates. A series of hydrolysis trials have been carried out using backbones from cod that were initially fresh or frozen and further hydrolysed for different times (10, 25, 45 and 60 min). Use of fresh raw material significantly increased yield of dry FPH, gave lighter and less yellow powders with better emulsification properties. Longer time of hydrolysis gave higher FPH yield, increased degree of hydrolysis and decreased water holding capacity of the powders. Among the hydrolysis times tested, 25 and 45 min hydrolysis demonstrated the best emulsification properties.FPH have potential to enhance product stability by preventing oxidative deterioration. The DPPH scavenging activity showed that antioxidative activity of hydrolysates could be due to the ability to scavenge lipid radicals. The ability of hydrolysates to inhibit iron induced lipid oxidation was not influenced by time of hydrolysis.This work also shows that it is possible to obtain bioactive molecules from cod backbones by protein hydrolysis. The content of bioactive peptides (gastrin/CCK- and CGRP-like peptides) could make the cod hydrolysates useful for incorporation in functional foods.     

Purification and identification of antioxidant peptides from walnut (Juglans regia L.) protein hydrolysates

Walnut proteins were hydrolyzed separately using three different proteases to obtain antioxidant peptides. The antioxidant activities of the hydrolysates were measured using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Among hydrolysates, pepsin hydrolysate obtained by 3 h exhibited the highest antioxidant activities, which could also quench the hydroxyl radical, chelate ferrous ion, exhibit reducing power and inhibit the lipid peroxidation. Then, 3-h pepsin hydrolysates were purified sequentially by ultrafiltration, gel filtration and RP-HPLC. The sequence of the peptide with the highest antioxidative activity was identified to be Ala-Asp-Ala-Phe (423.23 Da) using RP-HPLC-ESI-MS, which was identified for the first time from walnut protein hydrolysates. Last, the inhibition of the peptide on lipid peroxidation was similar with that of reduced glutathione (GSH). These results indicate that the protein hydrolysates and/or its isolated peptides may be effectively used as food additives.
