Enzymatic hydrolysis disrupts the protein tertiary struc-
ture and reduces the molecular weight of the protein,
enhancing the interaction of peptides with themselves
and with the environment, and consequently altering
their functional properties [7]. Notably, the nature of
the protein modification is influenced by several hydrolysis parameters, including the reaction conditions,
such as pH, temperature, degree of hydrolysis, and
enzyme specificities, and intrinsic characteristics of
each food, such as ionic strength, concentration of calcium and other polyvalent ions, sugars, and hydrocolloids
[3,8,9].
