摘要:
It is an objective of the present invention to provide a soothing agent and a food for treating fatigue whereby: physical strength can be quickly restored from exhaustion (a state with lowered spontaneous motility), such as after exercise or exhausting labor or upon awakening in the early morning; physical strength decline can be prevented; and physical strength can be maintained.In accordance with the present invention, a soothing agent and/or a revitalizing agent containing protein hydrolysates obtained by degrading substrate protein via germinated soybean cotyledon-derived thiol protease and/or microorganism-derived serine protease are provided.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a method for producing foods and/or beverage having improved taste and/or flavour, comprising reacting a microbial aminopeptidase on a protein material optionally under the co-existence of a protease, wherein said aminopeptidase has the properties of: (a) having an activity of catalyzing the reaction of specifically releasing a glutamic acid and an aspartic acid from the N-terminal of a peptide and/or a protein; (b) having 50% or more activity at pH6.0-9.0 as compared with the activity at the optimum pH; (c) having 40% or more activity after heating at 25-60° C., pH7.5 for 30 minutes as compared with the activity of the non-heated enzyme; (d) having a molecular weight of about 40-60 kD as measured by SDS-PAGE and about 300-480 kD as measured by native-PAGE; (e) having a hydrolyzing activity of the aminopeptidase toward Glu-Glu dipeptide is 5 U/mg or more, preferably 10 U/mg or more.
