An algorithm for the biocatalytic conversion of polymers of subcellular structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 985-T has been developed. It was shown that the action of enzymes on cell wall mannoproteins and (3-glucans led to deformation of their structure and the transfer of more than 50% of polysaccharides to a soluble state with the formation of 13.4% reducing carbohydrates, 1.8% amine nitrogen and 7.7% free amino acids (biological-1). Biological-2 had an increased content of total carbohydrates (32.2%) and fiber (10.5%). It was found that the combined action of the complex of proteinases and peptidases contributed to an increase in the degree of hydrolysis of subcellular structures, which was accompanied by a growth of the content of amino nitrogen by 2.7 times, free amino acids by 3.1 times, and low-molecular peptides (up to 500 Da) by 3.5 times (biological-3). The obtained biologicals were characterized by a high content of phosphorus and potassium. It was shown that the use of enzyme systems that catalyze the hydrolysis of intracellular polymers in yeast biomass allows us to obtain products with different biochemical and structural-fractional composition, which determines their properties. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, enzymes, structural-fractional composition, functional ingredients The work was carried out at the expense of the subsidy for the implementation of the State Task.

Tilapia frames were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis using Flavouzryme and Papain with a ratio of 2:1. The relationship of temperature (40 to 60°C), enzyme: substrate ratio (0.5% to 4.5%), initial pH (6.0 to 8.0) and hydrolysis time (1h to 9h) to the degree of hydrolysis were determined. The enzymatic hydrolysis was optimized for maximum degree of hydrolysis using surface response methodology. The optimum conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis of tilapia frames were temperature 53°C, enzyme : substrate ratio of 3.5%, initial pH 7.2, and reaction time 7h. Under these conditions a degree of hydrolysis of 40.01% were obtained. The yield of free amino acids in the hydrolysate was 46.61mg/g tilapia frames. The flavor amino acids and essential amino acids occupied up to 31.8% and 49.0% of the total free amino acids respectively. The hydrolysate of waste tilapia frames showed good potential for applications such as protein supplementation in food system.

1. A commercial amino acid solution supplemented with two synthetic dipeptides, l-alanyl-l-glutamine (Ala-Gln) and glycyl-l-tyrosine (Gly-Tyr), or alternatively with isonitrogenous amounts of free alanine and glycine has been continuously infused over 4 h in six apparently healthy volunteers. 2. The infusion of the solutions was not accompanied by any side effects and the volunteers reported no complaints. 3. Infusion of the alanine- and glycine-supplemented control solution resulted in an increase of the concentration of these amino acids, while no appreciable change in free glutamine concentration was observed and free tyrosine revealed a steady decrease throughout the infusion. 4. Infusion of the peptide-supplemented solution resulted in a prompt equimolar liberation of the constituent free amino acids (glutamine, alanine, tyrosine and glycine), approaching steady state after about 30 min infusion, while only trace but stable concentrations of the two dipeptides were measured throughout the infusion. No peptides were detectable in urine. The findings suggest a nearly quantitative extracellular hydrolysis of the infused dipeptides and indicate a subsequent utilization of the liberated free amino acids. 5. The estimated metabolic clearance rates and total body plasma clearances were very similar for the two dipeptides (Ala-Gln 35.9 ± 9.5 ml min−1 kg−1 and 2.9 ± 0.9 1/min, respectively; Gly-Tyr 33.7 ± 9.5 ml min−1 kg−1 and 2.7 ± 0.9 1/min, respectively); thus there is little difference in the metabolic handling of these dipeptides. 6. The study provides firm evidence that the synthetic dipeptides Ala-Gln and Gly-Tyr are quantitatively hydrolysed and that these peptides can be used as a safe and efficient source of free glutamine and tyrosine as part of a commercial solution.

SummaryFree amino acids have been isolated via optimized enzymatic hydrolysis of F1 tobacco protein using two cationic resins (Amberlite IR120 and Dowex MAC-2). Optimized enzymatic conversions of the protein as a result of systematic variations in conditions (e.g., time, temperature, pH, enzyme type, enzyme concentration, anaerobic/aerobic environments, and protein concentration) employing commercially available enzymes, were consistently higher than 50% with qualitative amino acid arrays that were consistent with the known composition of tobacco F1 protein. Amberlite IR120 was shown to have a much higher efficiency and capacity for isolation of amino acids from standard solutions and from hydrolysate when compared with the results using Dowex MAC-2. Two columns packed with conditioned Amberlite IR120 (120 × 10 mm,12–15 g resin) and (200 × 25.4 mm, 60–65 g resin) were used to isolate two batches (2.5–3.0 mg and 13–15 mg) of free amino acids, respectively. A relatively inexpensive analytical methodology was developed for rapid analysis of the free amino acids contained within the enzyme hydrolysate. Commercially available enzymes, when employed in optimized reaction conditions, are very effective for enzymatic conversion of tobacco F1 protein to free amino acids.

Crossbred wethers were given a control diet (8 g nitrogen, 730 g dry matter daily) or a low nitrogen diet (0.5 g nitrogen, 520 g dry matter daily) or starved, for a 12 or 20 day experimental period. The concentrations of free serine, glutamine, glycine, alanine, histidine, and arginine in the plasma of the starved sheep decreased significantly while the concentrations of lysine, 3-methylhistidine, and isoleucine increased significantly. The ratio of essential to non-essential amino acids increased from 0.35 to 0.56 in the starved sheep. In sheep on the low nitrogen diet, the ratio of essential to non-essential amino acids in the plasma decreased from 0.40 to 0.27, with significant increases in the concentrations of glutanlic acid, glutamine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, and 3-methylhistidine. Starvation and the low nitrogen diet both resulted in a reduction of the plasma urea concentrations. Starvation and the low nitrogen diet resulted in a 20-50 % reduction in the flow of saliva and a 40-78% increase in the concentration of total nitrogen. This resulted in no significant change in the daily secretion of nitrogen in the saliva. The concentration of urea in the saliva was increased by 3-54%. The concentrations of individual free amino acids in saliva are reported. The nitrogen content of the rumen was reduced, and after 7 days of starvation or on the low nitrogen diet all rumen nitrogen could be attributed to ammonia and free �-amino nitrogen.

Plant derived fermented beverages have recently gained consumers’ interest, particularly due to their intrinsic functional properties and presence of beneficial microorganisms. Three variants containing 5%, 10%, and 15% (w/w) of sweet blue lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L. cv. “Boregine”) seeds were inoculated with kefir grains and incubated at 25 °C for 24 h. After processing, beverages were stored in refrigerated conditions (6 °C) for 21 days. Changes in microbial population, pH, bioactive compounds (polyphenolics, flavonoids, ascorbic acid), reducing sugars, and free amino acids were estimated. Additionally, viscosity, firmness, color, and free radicals scavenging properties were determined. Results showed that lactic acid bacteria as well as yeast were capable of growing well in the lupin matrix without any supplementation. During the process of refrigeration, the viability of the microorganisms was over the recommended minimum level for kefir products. Hydrolysis of polysaccharides as well as increase of free amino acids was observed. As a result of fermentation, the beverages showed excellent DPPH, ABTS+·, ·OH, and O2− radicals scavenging activities with a potential when considering diseases associated with oxidative stress. This beverages could be used as a new, non-dairy vehicle for beneficial microflora consumption, especially by vegans and lactose-intolerant consumers.

During 6-day exposures of cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to acetate sporulation medium, the content of free amino acids declined to approximately one-third of that of vegetative cells, but proline was exceptional in that it increased conspicuously in amount. The content of combined amino acids also diminished to about one-third, ammonia was evolved, and amino acids (not including proline) passed out of the cells into the medium. When dihydroxyacetone replaced acetate in the sporulation medium, the results were similar except that the decline in content of free and combined amino acids was much greater, more ammonia was evolved, and only very small amounts of amino acids could be detected in the medium. Transfer of sporulated cells to growth medium led to an increase in the pool of free amino acids, except for proline, which declined in amount.In two other species of Saccharomyces the free proline content also increased on exposure to sporulation medium, but in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Torulopsis famata no such increase was observed.

Uptake of the dipeptide L-carnosine was measured in everted intestinal sleeves of mice whose dietary protein level or else proportion of protein in the form of free amino acids was varied experimentally. Carnosine uptake was highest in the jejunum, regardless of ration. Compared with a low-protein (18%) ration, a high-protein (72%) ration stimulated carnosine uptake by 30-70% in duodenum and jejunum (but not in ileum). This stimulation was observed even in the presence of peptidase inhibitors that inhibit cell surface hydrolysis of dipeptides. Measured carnosine hydrolysis was low or negligible. Carnosine uptake was the same in mice fed 54% unhydrolyzed casein, 54% partly hydrolyzed casein, and 54% free amino acids formulated so as to stimulate a complete hydrolysate of casein. Thus carnosine uptake is regulated by dietary levels of amino acids, peptides, and proteins, all of which seem equally effective at inducing carnosine transporters.

SummaryOf 8 strains ofStreptococcus cremoristested, 5 grew almost as well in defined media in which various essential amino acids were supplied in dipeptides as they did in media containing the equivalent free amino acids. The remainder grew poorly or not at all in the peptide-containing media. Growth of peptide-utilizing strains was inhibited by also including structurally-related dipeptides in the medium, presumably due to competition for uptake by transport system carriers. Both types of starters produced cell-free dipeptidases recoverable from the medium of exponential phase cultures. Addition of the partly-purified extracellular dipeptidases to dipeptidecontaining test media initiated growth in strains unable to use peptides.Str. lactisgrew in defined peptide media, but the further addition of structurally-related dipeptides did not inhibit growth, either bcause each dipeptide was transported by a specific carrier or because peptides were hydrolysed extracellularly. The presence of cell-bound extracellular dipeptidase was indicated by the hydrolysis of dipeptides with washed whole cells in buffer. This was not observed withStr. cremorisstrains.

Alkaline hydrolysis of proteins recovered from slaughterhouse blood is a method to obtain profitable peptides and free amino acids for animal feed, besides decreasing the waste produced by this industry. The current trend to use enzymatic hydrolysis may need reconsidering due to its high cost in materials and the need for control processes that are both complex and expensive. The use of caustic soda (NaOH), which is a low-cost product, to obtain useful peptides from porcine haemoglobin is studied in this paper. Concentrations of 6 M NaOH at 50°C for 24 h afforded an 80% peptide recovery yield with an average peptide size of 13 kDa. Product obtained at 24 h was composed of soluble haemoglobin (7%), peptides larger than 10 kDa (63%), peptides between 6 and 10 kDa (16%), peptides between 1 and 6 kDa (1%), free amino acids (4%) and non-soluble compounds (8%). A kinetic model was subsequently developed. It is proposed that neutralising the alkaline product using acid products allows the processing of a higher amount of protein while employing the same amounts of reagents, although this topic requires further research.
