The capacity of Lactobacillus strains for degrading soy proteins was evaluated. The hydrolytic action was monitored by SDS-PAGE and reverse phase-HPLC analyses. Peptidase activities were also determined using synthetic chromogenic substrates. All assayed strains were able to hydrolyze alpha'-subunit of beta-conglycinin while for the other fractions the degree of degradation was strain-dependent. The pattern of peptides produced from soy proteins hydrolysis differed amongst the lactobacilli studied, suggesting different proteolytic enzyme specificities. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
