Cover Story: Egg yolk proteins are better substrates for pepsin, trypsin and proteinase K compared to those from egg white. On the other hand, pepsin and proteinase K are more efficient, compared to trypsin, in breaking the intramolecular peptide bonds of the high-molecular-weight egg proteins. The enzyme-assisted hydrolysis allows for a significant increase in antioxidant activity, suggesting that many bioactive peptides are encrypted in an inactive form in the parent egg proteins. The hydrolysates obtained with proteinase K exhibit the highest antioxidant activity and the lowest residual IgE-binding capacity. The bioinformatics tools revealed that proteinase K is able to break the integrity of the main linear IgE-binding epitopes from ovalbumin and ovomucoid. Proteinase K is a promising tool for modulating the intrinsic properties of egg proteins. View this paper
