Abstract: Wheat germ protein hydrolysate prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis was separated with ultra-filtration membranes with a molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) of 3 ku and 6 ku, respectively. Four ultra-filtration parameters such as pressure, time, pH and sample concentration were optimized by response surface methodology to be 0.08 MPa, 23 min, 6.83 and 2%, respectively. Under these conditions, the ultra-filtration membrane flux of was 4.85 L/(m2 ·h). The obtained fraction of less than 3 ku in molecular weight exhibited a DPPH free radical scavenging rate of 78.93% at the concentration of 11%.

Key words: wheat germ peptide, DPPH free radical scavenging activity, ultra-filtration
