This document discusses enzymatic tailoring of hydrolysate properties. It provides an overview of enzymes, including enzyme classes and nomenclature. It describes how enzymatic hydrolysis can be used to customize the chemical and biological properties of protein hydrolysates, such as solubility, molecular weight distribution, and amino acid profile. Several examples are given of how different proteases can be used to tailor the degree of hydrolysis, antioxidant activity, foam stability, and amino acid composition of soy flour hydrolysates. The document concludes that enzymatic tailoring provides opportunities to engineer product specifications, improve yields and recoveries, customize protein properties, and develop new active ingredients and product paradigms from plant sources.
