Abstract
The hydrolysates of whey protein isolates (WPI) by papain were found to possess
antioxidant activity. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to improve the
antioxidant activity of these hydrolysates. The model was validated and shown to be
statistically adequate and accurate in predicting the response. For both 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity and reducing power responses, the optimised conditions were achieved at an enzyme to substrate ratio (E/S, w/w) of 2.22%, hydrolysis time of 3.60 h, and hydrolysis temperature of 45.70 °C. Under the optimised conditions, DPPH radical-scavenging activity of the hydrolysates of WPI was 31.48% and the reducing power was 0.612 at 700 nm. The results of confirmation
experiments indicated that the model was powerful and suitable for estimation of the
experimental value. The hydrolysate of WPI has potential application as an antioxidant
in food products.
