Highlights

  • Preparation of protein hydrolysates by using enzyme digestion is an important research area of current times

  • The papain-digested protein hydrolysate showed maximum 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity about 73%, 2, 2'-azino-bis

  • Nnanna and Wu (2006) stated that the enzyme-digested protein leads to the release of peptides and amino acids, they were called as protein hydrolysate

Summary

Introduction

Preparation of protein hydrolysates by using enzyme digestion is an important research area of current times. We hydrolyzed C. bistrialis protein extract to identify peptides exhibiting the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. The tissues of the land snail C. bistrialis were homogenized and digested with three different enzymes: papain, trypsin, and pepsin.
