Abstract
Prolyl endopeptidase can partially degrade soybean protein B3 subunit and alleviate soy sauce secondary precipitate. In this study, the influences of ultrasound-assisted prolyl endopeptidase on the degradation of soybean protein B3 subunit of soy sauce and primary mechanism were investigated using SDS-PAGE, MALDI-TOF-MS, circular dichromatic spectrometer, fluorescence spectra, etc. Results showed that ultrasound-assisted prolyl endopeptidase enhanced 72% degradation rate of B3 subunit and reduced soy sauce secondary precipitate remarkably, meanwhile significantly increased content of organic taste compounds of soy sauce compared with control (p<0.05). Sonication markedly reduced percentage of α-helix and increased percentage of random coil, made hydrophobic amino acids inside prolyl endopeptidase exposed to its surface and enhanced its flexibility, which facilitated the binding of prolyl endopeptidase active center with B3 subunit and finally enhanced the latter's degradation rate and appearance quality of soy sauce. This work laid a foundation for solving soy sauce secondary precipitate.
