Abstract
Sea cucumber is rich in protein that can be used to prepare a potential derived bioactive peptide for antioxidant and protective effect against UV-B induced skin cell damage. This study aimed to optimize preparation of sea cucumber hydrolysate with both UV-B protective and antioxidant activities using three commercial enzymes using response surface methodology (RSM) with a face-centered central composite design (face- centered CCD). Hydrolysis time and concentration of enzyme effects on the degree of hydrolysis (DH), yield, antioxidant and UV-B protective activities of sea cucumber hydrolysates were determined. The optimum conditions for sea cucumber hydrolysis using papain (SCP), alcalase (SCA), or flavourzyme (SCF) were 3.6, 5.0, and 4.1% (w/w protein), respectively, and a hydrolysis time of 360 min. The resulting hydrolysates had a DH of 81-91%, yield of 13-14%, IC50 for DPPH radical scavenging activity of 0.3-4.1 mg/mL, FRAP of 0.5-0.6 mmol FeSO4/mL, and IC50 for ABTS radical scavenging activity of 1.3-1.6 mg/mL. The UV-B protective activity was reported as the HaCaT cell viability percentage after UV-B treatment. The SCP, SCA, and SCF hydrolysates showed 72.4, 74.5, and 71.3% cell viability, respectively. The concentration of hydrolysates with 80% survival of HaCaT cells was 0.21, 0.15 and 0.20 mg/mL for SCP, SCA and SCF, respectively. Thus, the SCP was selected for bioactive peptide isolation and characterization. The SCP contained hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acids of 42.4 and 57.6%, respectively. The ultrafiltration and Sephadex G-25 gel filtration chromatography were done for peptide isolation from the SCP. Six potential peptides were identified using LC-MS/MS as Leu-Val-Asn-Glu-Leu-Thr-Glu-Phe-Ala-Gln (1163 Da), Leu-Val-Asn-Glu-Val-Thr-Glu-Phe-Ala-Gln (1149 Da), Phe-Val-Asp-Ser-Ser-Ala-Thr-Thr (826 Da), Phe-Asn-Asp-Leu-Gly-Ala-Trp (821 Da), Phe-Pro-Asp-Thr-Thr-Thr-Leu (793 Da), and Lys-Phe-Gly-Glu-Gly-Lys (664).
