Abstract:

Chondroitin sulfate from tilapia skull was obtained using a combined method of alkaline extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis. Orthogonal array design was adopted to optimize technological parameters of alkaline extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis for maximizing yield and purity of chondroitin sulfate, respectively. The optimal procedure for preparing high-purity chondroitin sulfate from tilapia skull was based on first extraction for 7 h using 1% alkaline solution with a ratio of 1:5 (m/V) at 50 ℃ and then enzymatic hydrolysis for 3 h using compound protease with an enzyme dose of 1.5% at pH 7 and 50 ℃. Under these optimal conditions, the productivity, purity, total yield of chondroitin sulfate were 3.58%, 81.28% and 2.91%, respectively.

Key words: tilapia, chondroitin sulfate, alkaline extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis, orthogonal array design
