Abstract

Investigating the degree of hydrolysis in the presence of different proteolytic enzymes is one of the tasks regarding further development of nutraceuticals obtained from connective tissues for biomedicine. Hydrolysis of biopolymers in cattle and swine tracheal hyaline cartilage homogenates was carried out in the presence of the following enzymes: pancreatin, chymopsin, papain and karipazim, a drug that contains papain, a proteolytic enzyme. This study shows that karipazim manufactured by MedFlorina LLC has better efficacy than karipazim manufactured by ZAO Vifiteh, and the greatest degree of hydrolysis for collagen occurrs at 60°C and karipazim concentration of 10%. More complete hydrolysis of proteoglycans was performed in the cattle hyaline cartilage homogenates, because the analysis of NMR spectra revealed the glucose, the final product of glycosaminoglycan hydrolysis.
