Abstract

Repurposing of waste beer yeast (WBY) that a main by-product of brewing industry has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this study, the protein and polypeptide were extracted by ultrasonic-assisted extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis with process optimization, which resulted in a maximum yield of 73.94% and 61.24%, respectively. Both protein and polypeptide of WBY were composed of 17 Amino acids (AA) that included seven essential amino acids (EAA), and typically rich in glutamic acid (Glu) (6.46% and 6.13%) and glycine (Gly) (5.26% and 6.02%). AA score (AAS) revealed that the threonine (Thr) and SAA (methionine + cysteine) were the limiting AA of WBY protein and polypeptide. Furthermore, the antioxidant activities of WBY polypeptide that lower than 10 kDa against hydroxyl radical, DPPH radical, and ABTS radical were 95.10%, 98.37%, and 69.41%, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of WBY protein (25–50 kDa). Therefore, the protein and polypeptide extracted from WBY can be a source of high-quality AA applying in food and feed industry. Due to small molecular weight, abundant AA, and great antioxidant activity, WBY polypeptide can be promisingly used as functional additives in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry.
