In vitro pH stat protein hydrolysis (DH%) carried out for 60 min at room temperature, with 80 mg protein substrate and 6 tubes of serially diluted (1:2) enzyme solutions with specific activity (U/ml). ‘*’ denotes statistical significance between the dilutions and were analysed through full-factorial ANOVA, followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at significance level of 95%.
