Abstract
This paper focused on the research to determine the effect of the pH and time on shark cartilage (Carcharhinus dussumieri) hydrolytic process by the alcalase-papain enzyme mixture. The results showed that the pH and hydrolysis time strongly affected the content of soluble proteins, peptides, Naa, chondroitin sulphate, and NNH3 formed in shark cartilage hydrolyzate by alcalase-papain enzyme mixture. According to hydrolysis time, shark cartilage hydrolyzate by alcalase-papain enzyme mixture at pH 6.5 -7.0 had higher content of soluble protein, peptide, Naa, chondroitin sulphate than hydrolyzate at pH 6, 0 and 8.0 but the content of NNH3 was equivalent. The results also indicated that pH 7.0 was suitable for shark cartilage hydrolysis by alcalasepapain enzyme mixture. After 10 hours of shark cartilage hydrolysis by alcalase-papain enzyme mixture at pH 7.0, concentration of 0.3%, temperature of 50°C, sample weight of 2 kilograms and the additional water of 2 liters, the hydrolyzate had the content of soluble protein, peptide, Naa, chondroitin sulphate, and NNH3 higher than 7.39 times, 3.69 times, 9.42 times, 88.96 times and 1.25 times from the original.
