Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential functional properties, structural characteristics and biological activities of the hydrolysates of deer blood obtained by using different protease. Deer blood hydrolysate treated by pepsin (DBH-P) and treated by alacase (DBH-A) showed higher degree of hydrolysis (DH) and smaller molecular weight (Mw). Scanning electron microscope (SEM), solubility, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), secondary structure, color properties, amino acids and antioxidant porperties. The results suggest that the type of protease used for the treatment significantly influences the functional properties, structural characteristics and biological activities of the resulting hydrolysates.
