Abstract
Wheat gluten hydrolysis, used to generate seasonings, was studied using peptidases from Flammulina velutipes or commercial Flavourzyme. L-amino acids were added in a range from 0.5 to 75.0 mM, and L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-valine, and L-phenylalanine were identified as the strongest inhibitors for both enzyme mixtures. L-serine inhibited Flammulina velutipes peptidases only, while L-histidine and L-glutamine inhibited Flavourzyme peptidases only. To reduce product inhibition by released L-amino acids, electrodialysis was explored. An increase of the degree of hydrolysis of up to 60% for Flammulina velutipes peptidases and 31% for Flavourzyme compared to that for the best control batch was observed after applying an electrodialysis unit equipped with an ultrafiltration membrane for two times 1 h during the 20 h of hydrolysis. The total transfer of free L-amino acids into the concentrate reached 25-30% per hour. Peptides passed the membrane less easily, although the nominal cutoff was 4 kDa.
