Objective To optimize the process of the foaming powder from rice dreg protein. Methods Alcalase, neutrase, trypsin, flavourzyme, and protamex were used to hydrolyze deaminated rice dreg protein (DRDP), respectively, and the foaming force and holding force of 5 kinds of hydrolysates were measured to determine the better protease and optimize the hydrolysis conditions. Results Alcalase was the optimum hydrolytic enzyme. The optimized hydrolysis conditions were shown as follows: 10% of DRDP, pH 8.0, 40 ℃, 24 AU/kg of alcalase to DRDP ratio, a...
