For both gases, the amino group release increased by increasing working temperature while the Lowry response decreased due to production of smaller-size peptides and free amino acids.The free amino acid content was higher with CO2 than with N2. At 180 °C, 344 ± 5 and 275 ± 3 mg of free amino acids per g of WSP were released, respectively; although, in both systems the smallest molecular weight amino acids, glycine and alanine, were preferentially released. The free amino acids content obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis with commercial proteases Alcalase and Novozym was much lower with the highest hydrolysis yield determined for histidine. These results have been supported by size exclusion chromatography analysis.
