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).
