Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to develop an optimized enzymatic method for extracting proteins from
Pleurotus eryngii and to evaluate the nutritional value of the obtained proteins. Response surface methodology (RSM)
based on a Box-Behnken design was used in combination with single factor experiments to establish the optimal hydrolysis
conditions as follows: water to solid ratio, 35:1 (V/m); enzyme/substrate ratio, 2.6% (on a dry weight basis); initial pH, 7.2;
and temperature, 60 ℃, leading to an extraction yield of 10.68%. Amino acid coefficient method was used to evaluate the
nutritional value of the proteins extracted from Pleurotus eryngii. The essential amino acids/non-essential amino acid (EAA/
NEAA) value, essential amino acids/total amino acids (EAA/TAA) value and score of ratio coefficient (SRC) of the obtained
proteins were 0.65, 0.40 and 75.02, respectively. This extraction procedure was simple and the obtained proteins had good
quality so that it can be used in industrial production of Pleurotus eryngii protein products.
