Enzymatic hydrolysates of honeybee-collected pollen were prepared using food-grade proteinase and aminopeptidases entirely of plant origin. Bromelain from pineapple stem was applied (8 mAU/g substrate) in the first hydrolysis stage. Aminopeptidase (0.05 U/g substrate) and proline iminopeptidase (0.03 U/g substrate) from cabbage leaves (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), and aminopeptidase (0.2 U/g substrate) from chick-pea cotyledons (Cicer arietinum L.) were involved in the additional hydrolysis of the peptide mixtures. The degree of hydrolysis (DH), total phenolic contents, and protein contents of these hydrolysates were as follows: DH (about 20–28%), total phenolics (15.3–27.2 μg/mg sample powder), and proteins (162.7–242.8 μg/mg sample powder), respectively. The hydrolysates possessed high antiradical scavenging activity determined with DPPH (42–46% inhibition). The prepared hydrolysates of bee-collected flower pollen may be regarded as effective natural and functional dietary food supplements due to their remarkable content of polyphenol substances and significant radical-scavenging capacity with special regard to their nutritional-physiological implications.

ABSTRACT Two PCR-based methods, specific PCR and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA PCR (RAPD-PCR), were used for rapid and reliable differentiation of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp.bulgaricus and L. delbrueckii subsp.lactis. PCR with a single combination of primers which targeted the proline iminopeptidase (pepIP) gene ofL. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus allowed amplification of genomic fragments specific for the two subspecies when either DNA from a single colony or cells extracted from dairy products were used. A numerical analysis of the RAPD-PCR patterns obtained with primer M13 gave results that were consistent with the results of specific PCR for all strains except L. delbrueckii subsp.delbrueckii LMG 6412T, which clustered withL. delbrueckii subsp. lactis strains. In addition, RAPD-PCR performed with primer 1254 provided highly polymorphic profiles and thus was superior for distinguishing individual L. delbrueckii strains.

SummaryThe effects of solubilization, treatment with organic solvents and storage under alkaline conditions on membrane-associated peptidases of intact cells ofStreptococcus cremorisHP were studied. Differences in the response of the peptidase activities towards these membrane perturbing treatments were observed. Pyrrolidonecarboxylylpeptidase (PCP) and an endopeptidase (P50) showed 50% irreversible inhibition at the same concentration of each solvent tested. An amino- and proline iminopeptidase activity and the endopeptidase P37were in this respect much more sensitive to the action of the solvents. Within a homologous series of n-alkanols irreversible inhibition of PCP showed a dependence on the hydrophobicity of the solvent molecules. Only P37activity was increased considerably upon solubilization of the enzyme. Similar levels of activation were found upon treatment of cells with 3% (v/v) n-butanol at 25 °C or storage at 30 °C at an alkaline pH. Optimal activity of P50during n-butanol treatment was at 25 °C using a concentration of 5% (v/v), but no activation was observed upon solubilization. The results are discussed in terms of enzyme–lipid interaction and accessibility of the enzymes in situ. It is concluded that the enzymes apparently occupy different positions within the membrane although they may together constitute a functional peptide-hydrolysing unit.
