Table 3. ABTS radical scavenging activity and IC50 values of ultrafiltrated EBH hydrolysates
Membrane MWCO (kDa) | ABTS scavenging activity (%) | IC50 value (mg/mL) |
<10 UF | 50.36±0.38c | 0.96±0.03a |
3–10 UF | 52.84±0.38b | 0.82±0.02b |
<3 UF | 55.58±0.38a | 0.66±0.01c |
All values are mean±SD of three replicates (n=3).
ABTS radical scavenging effects were tested at a concentration of 1 mg/mL.
Means in the same column with different letters are significantly different (p<0.05).
EBH, elastin-based hydrolysate; MWCO, kDa molecular weight cut-off; ABTS, 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid).
