Extraction of bioactive compounds from oyster (Crassostrea gigas) by pressurized hot water extraction
Pacific oyster muscle hydrolysates were prepared by pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) at process conditions ranging 125 degrees C/20 bar similar to 275 degrees C/140 bar to investigate various physico-chemical and bio-functional parameters. Degree of hydrolysis was increased with increasing temperature and pressure and at 275 degrees C/140 bar, hydrolysis was found to be highest. Glycogen, protein, reducing sugar, and phenolic content of the hydrolysates were increased obtained from 125 degrees C/20 bar to 225 degrees C/100 bar, but decreased after raising over 250 degrees C/120 bar. Total and free amino acid contents were subsequently decreased as temperature and pressure increased over 175 degrees C/60 bar. Radical scavenging activity and antihypertensive activity was found to be highest at 225 degrees C/100 bar at which condition, the protein molecular size and carbohydrate molecular weight of the hydrolysates were 15 kDa or lower and 300-1000 Da, respectively. This study suggests the 225 degrees C/120 bar conditions for bio-functional Pacific oyster hydrolysate preparation .
