Antioxidant activity of enzymatic hydrolysates from eggshell membrane proteins and its protective capacity in human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells

Eggshell membrane (ESM) hydrolysate was prepared by Alcalase and Protease S (AL-PS) sequentially and was ultrafiltered as fractions AL-PS-I (<5 kDa), AL-PS-II (5-10 kDa), and AL-PS-III (>10 kDa). The antioxidant activity of ESM hydrolysate was evaluated using chemical assays and its protective...
