본 연구는 두유와 전두유의 효소적 가수분해에 따른 단백질의 변화를 조사하였다. 총 유리아미노산 함량을 조사한 결과 두유(SM)과 전두유(WSM)에 비해서 저분자 두유(LSM)와 저분자 전두유(LWSM)에서 높게 나타났다. 필수아미노산 함량은 SM과 LSM에서 비슷하였으나 LWSM은 WSM보다 높게 나타났다. SDS-PAGE 전기영동 패턴 분석결과 SM과 WSM에서는 의 고분자가 존재하였으나 LSM와 LWSM에서는 17 kDa 이하의 저분자 단백질
This study investigated protein changes in soymilk and whole soymilk due to enzymatic hydrolysis. The total free amino acid contents of low molecular weight soymilk (LSM) and low molecular weight whole soymilk (LWSM) were higher than soymilk (SM) and whole soymilk (WSM). The essential amino acid content was similar in SM and LSM, but was higher in LWSM than WSM. In SDS-PAGE performed to tendency of becoming low molecules, the soy protein molecular weights were 3372 kDa for SM and WSM, but 17 kDa or less for LSM and LWSM. Also, high molecular weight protein spots were evident in 2-D electrophoresis of SM and LSM, but only low molecular weight protein spots of various sizes were evident in WSM and LWSM. This suggests that the high molecular weight protein in SM and WSM is changed to low molecular weight protein by enzymatic hydrolysis. Further investigations of the separation and qualities of these proteins are required.
