Abstract: Response surface methodology based on Box-Benhnken experimental design was employed to optimize conditions for the dual-enzymatic hydrolysis of corn gluten meal to obtain the maximum degree of hydrolysis. The optimal hydrolysis conditions were found as follows: pH 11.10, hydrolysis temperature 55.00 ℃, substrate concentration 112 g/L, activity ratio of alkaline protease to neutral protease 5:1, total enzyme dose 48000 U/g, and hydrolysis time 120 min. Under these conditions, the actual degree of hydrolysis was 30.23%, and the predicted value 30.84%. The dual-enzymatic hydrolysis process was simple and provided a high degree of hydrolysis.

Key words: protease, corn gluten meal, response surface methodology, hydrolysis
