PROTEOLYTIC AND MILK CLOTTING ACTIVITY OF FRACTIONATED PROTEIN OF CITRULLUS LANATUS
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Objective: The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate milk clotting activity as well as proteolytic activity of protein fractions of seeds of Citrullus lanatus.Methods: Storage proteins were extracted by differential solubility, and their contents were estimated using the Bradford method. The effect of pH and temperature on the milk-clotting activity and proteolytic activity was also evaluated.Results: Citrullus lanatus showed highest milk clotting activity over a broad temperature range of 30-80 ºC and pH range of 3-9.Conclusion: These findings showed that Citrullus lanatus have proteolytic activity which might be a potentially suitable substitute for commercial animal rennet for cheese-ripening.Â
