Abstract A new aminopeptidase (An-APa) was identified and biochemically characterized from Aspergillus niger CICIM F0215. It had maximal activity at 40 °C and pH 7.0 and exhibited a broad substrate specificity both on hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acid residues at N-terminals. With An-APa hydrolysis for 1 h, the casein-pepsin and soybean protein isolates (SPI)-pepsin hydrolysates released both hydrophilic and hydrophobic amino acids and the hydrophobic amino acids having Q values (degree of hydrophobicity) greater than 1500 cal/mol were remarkably released. Leu, Ile, Phe, Tyr, Trp, Pro, Val and Lys in the casein hydrolysate after treatment with An-APa increased 18.61, 0.84, 11.35, 13.18, 3.34, 6.30, 7.46, and 8.19 mg/ 100 mL, respectively, and 19.72, 1.47, 18.37, 11.72, 4.61, 4.10, 8.13, and 5.85 mg/100 mL, respectively, in the SPI & Zheng-Xiang Wang [email protected] Peng Song [email protected]

hydrolysate. Both accounted for 65.0% and 64.4% of total released free amino acids from casein and SPI hydrolysates, respectively. This indicated that An-APa could be potentially applicable in debittering protein hydrolysates.

expanded when modified by certain proteolytic enzymes (Saha and Hayashi, 2001). These protein hydrolysates have been reported to show better processing characteristics due to improved solubility, hygroscopicity, foaming potency, gelatinisation ability, modified emulsifying capacity and reduced viscosity (Kodera et al., 200
