Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan aktivitas antioksidan hidrolisat protein yang dihasilkan dari proses hidrolisis enzimatik protein kulit ayam dengan menggunakan variasi konsentrasi enzim papain. Proses hidrolisis dilakukan dengan variasi konsentrasi enzim 1, 3,dan 5% (b/b protein), pada pH 7, suhu 50oC dan waktu hidrolisis 24 jam. Parameter yang diukur meliputi derajat hidrolisis, persen peredaman radikal DPPH (diphenylpicryl hidrazyl), dan komposisi asam amino hidrolisat protein yang paling aktif antioksidan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penggunaan konsentrasi enzim yang berbeda menghasikan hidrolisat protein dengan derajat hidrolisis dan persen peredaman DPPH yang berbeda. Penggunaan konsentrasi enzim papain 1, 3, dan 5% menghasilkan hidrolisat protein dengan derajat hidrolisis berturut-turut sebesar 9,3±1,8, 18,09±5,6, dan 23,15±6.33%, dan persentase hambatan radikal DPPH pada konsentrasi uji 100 ppm berturut-turut sebesar 16,75±0,07, 58,35±0,00, dan 52,99±0,07%. Hidrolisat protein yang diperoleh menggunakan enzim papain 3% (b/b protein) menunjukkan persen peredaman tertinggi dengan nilai IC50 92,98 ppm, memiliki komposisi asam amino tertiggi asam glutamat dan terendah valine.

This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of protein hydrolyzate produced from the enzymatic hydrolysis of chicken skin protein by using variations of the enzyme papain concentration. The hydrolysis process was carried out with variations in the concentration of the enzymes 1, 3, and 5% (w/w protein base), at pH 7, temperature 50oC, and hydrolysis time 24 hours. The parameters measured including degree of hydrolysis, percentage of inhibition of DPPH radical (diphenylpicryl hydrazyl) and amino acid composition of the protein hydrolyzate with the highest antioxidant activity. The results showed that the use of different enzyme concentrations resulted in protein hydrolyzate with different degrees of hydrolysis and percentage of inhibition of DPPH. The use of papain enzymes 1, 3, and 5% produced protein hydrolyzate with the degree of hydrolysis of 9.3 ± 1.8, 18.09 ± 5.6, and 23.15 ± 6.33%, and the percentage of inhibition of DPPH radical at a concentration of 100 ppm 16.75 ± 0.07, 58.35 ± 0.00, and 52.99 ± 0.07% respectively. Protein hydrolyzate obtained using the enzyme papain 3% (w/w protein) exhibited the highest percentage of inhibition of DPPH with an IC50 value of 92.98 ppm, having the highest amino acid composition of glutamic acid and the lowest valine.
