Research of camel shanks proteinhydrolyzates by electrophoregram

Abstract

This research aims to study the degree of hydrolysis, determining the nature of protein hydrolyzates, which determine their size and molecular weight by the method of electrophoregram. In this research, a camel pancreas suspension was used to hydrolyze proteins from camel shanks. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used to monitor the distribution of proteins and evaluate their molecular weights at different incubation times. Electrophoregram processing using the BioCapt program (Vilber Lourmat, France) determines the nature of the hydrolysis of protein and peptide profiles among hydrolyzates and the hydrolysis time for 8 hours shows the most significant accumulation of low molecular weight compounds with a molecular mass of <20 kDa, which is a favorable result for the potential activity of peptides.
