Notes:
The solubilization of fish protein concentrate (FPC) by Bacillus subtilis protease (Monzyme) has been investigated. Conditions have been defined which eliminate the problems of microbial contamination and salt accumulation. A Kinetic treatment revealed that enzyme is adsorbed to the surface of the substrate, exposed to aqueous phase. The overall kinetics were described by a sequence of two first-order processes - an initial, fast reaction in which loosely bound polypeptide chains are cleaved from an insoluble protein particle, and a second, slower reaction in which more compacted core protein is digested.
