in Fig. 1 , high deproteinization degrees were obtained with the
crude enzymes of A21, A26, J1 and MP1 (at about 76 ± 4%), while the
two others NH1 and ES1 were exerting significantly lower values
(65 ± 3% and 59 ± 3% respectively). B. mojavensis A21 strain, rarely
described in the literature, which produces at least six different
proteases, was retained. Otherwise, commercial enzymes, bromelain and alcalase, were used as control group. These enzymes were
chosen as control for deproteinization experiments. Deproteinization degrees obtained with bromelain and alcalase were lower than
those obtained with crude enzymes; it reached 67 ± 3% and 54 ± 3%
for bromelain and alcalase, respectively.
