The bioavailability of dietary ionised calcium is affected by intestinal basic environment. Calcium-binding peptides can form complexes with calcium to improve its absorption and bioavailability. The aim of this study was focused on isolation and characterisation of a calcium-binding peptide from whey protein hydrolysates. Whey protein was hydrolysed using Flavourzyme and Protamex with substrate to enzyme ratio of 25 : 1 (w/w) at 49 °C for 7 h. The calcium-binding peptide was isolated by DEAE anion-exchange chromatography, Sephadex G-25 gel filtration and reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). A purified peptide of molecular mass 204 Da with strong calcium binding ability was identified on chromatography/electrospray ionisation (LC/ESI) tandem mass spectrum to be Glu-Gly (EG) after analysis and alignment in database. The calcium binding capacity of EG reached 67·81 μg/mg, and the amount increased by 95% compared with whey protein hydrolysate complex. The UV and infrared spectrometer analysis demonstrated that the principal sites of calcium-binding corresponded to the carboxyl groups and carbonyl groups of glutamic acid. In addition, the amino group and peptide amino are also the related groups in the interaction between EG and calcium ion. Meanwhile, the sequestered calcium percentage experiment has proved that EG-Ca is significantly more stable than CaCl2 in human gastrointestinal tract in vitro. The findings suggest that the purified dipeptide has the potential to be used as ion-binding ingredient in dietary supplements.

Abstract Background: Fishing is an industry that provides livelihood to millions who live along the coast and delicious delicacies for the rest. Hence, improving the profitability of the trade has been of utmost importance and has been the research focus of major fishery industries around the globe. Exploring the potential commercialization of wastes produced by the industry is one way to achieve this goal. In this context, the waste may point towards discarded fishes, fish parts, etc. In this research, we are going to study the possibility to efficiently extract Fish Protein Hydrolysate (FPH) which has a huge commercial value from discarded by-catch fishes. Trawling is a fishing method which when employed often results in the capture of a huge quantity and diversity of non-target species due to lack of selectivity of the trawl net. These non-targeted species often termed as by-catch, are often disposed of. These under-valued species are targeted in this work for producing Fish Protein Hydrolysates (FPHs) using commercially available enzymes such as Papain (FPH1), Proteinase K (FPH2), and their functional characteristics such as solubility, foaming and emulsifying properties, oil and water-binding capacity are compared. The experimental design is as shown in the graphical abstract below.Results: Among the two, Fish Protein Hydrolysates (FPHs), prepared FPH1 has comparatively slightly improved functional properties. Conclusion: It offers the potential to be used for various applications in the food industries.

Casein phosphopeptide (CPP) has been widely used as micronutrient supplementation for certain populations. However, its solubility performance is far from satisfying. In this work, instant CPP powders with micropore structures were fabricated by supercritical fluid-assisted atomization (SAA) using supercritical CO2 fluid (SC-CO2) as an atomizing agent. The effects of the processing parameters (temperature, time, and pressure) on SC-CO2 absorption rate and dissolution rate were systematically evaluated and studied. The viscosity of the CPP solution increased with increased pressure of SC-CO2 as pressure increased its solubility. The processing conditions are optimized as follows: 40 °C, 40 min, and 8.27 MPa, with an SC-CO2 absorption rate of about 8 wt.%. The dissolution time of the SAA-CPP powders was significantly decreased from 1800 s to 54 s at room temperature, due to the micropore structures and almost 10 times increase in the specific surface area of SAA-CPP. The bioactivities of the instant SAA-CPP, especially the calcium-binding capacity, were also evaluated and showed no observable difference. Among the four CPPs prepared in different ways in this work, SAA-CPP had better dissolution performance. The results show that SAA technology is a promising way to prepare instant polypeptide powders.

The chelation of calcium ions to WPH caused molecular folding and aggregation leading to the formation of a WPH-calcium chelate of nanoparticle size, and the principal sites of calcium-binding corresponded to the carboxyl groups and carbonyl groups of WPH. The WPH-calcium chelate could significantly improve calcium absorption at the intestinal level.

To study the relationship between the hydrolysis degree and calcium-binding capacity of whey protein by enzymatic hydrolysis, the response surface method was firstly used to investigate optimized the hydrolysis conditions of whey protein with protamex and flavorzyme. The optimum process parameters for the whey protein hydrolysis were as follows: Whey protein concentration was 5.0% (w/v), the ratio of protease to whey protein was 4.0% (w/w), the mass ratios of protamex to flavorzyme (w/w) was 2:1, and the reaction temperature was 49 °C. The hydrolysate obtained after the hydrolysis of 7 h, with a hydrolysis degree of 25.92%, possessed the highest Ca-binding capacity of 27.92%. Finally, the relationship between the hydrolysis degree and calcium-binding capacity was established and whey protein hydrolysate with high calcium-binding capacity was prepared, which can provide basic theories for the following optimization of chelation of whey protein hydrolysate with calcium.
