Abstract: Ultra-filtration was used to separate pigskin collagen hydrolysate prepared by sequential hydrolysis with alcalase followed by papain and three peptide fractions including PCH1, PCH2 and PCH3 were obtained. Colorimetry was used to determinate the emulsifying capacity and emulsion stability of PCH1, PCH2 and PCH3 under various conditions of pH, soluble protein concentration and oil amount. The results showed that the emulsifying capacity and emulsion stability of PCH1, PCH2 and PCH3 could be greatly affected by pH, soluble protein concentration and oil amount (P<0.05). Soluble protein concentration was found to be the most obvious affecting factor. In addition, PCH2 and PCH3 had stronger emulsifying capacity than PCH1 (P<0.05). PCH peptide having better emulsifying properties was determined to have a lower molecular weight.

Key words: pigskin, hydrolysate, emulsifying activity, emulsion stability
