In this study, egg white was hdrolyzed with acids (HCl/H2 SO4)/ or enzymes (Alcalase, bromelain, Flavourzyme, Neutrase, papain) Hydrolysis conditions andproperties of hydrolysates were investigated. We also evaluated the taste and the ability as metal ion (Ca, Fe) solutizer of the hydrolysates. We found acidhydrolysis is efficient. The flavor of HCl hydrolysates is the best, but it wastoo salty to be drunk directly. It could be used as seasoning or flavor enhancer. The hydrolysates by H2SO4 hydrolysis had much less salt than HCl did,but they were bitter and astringent. Flavourzyme was the only enzyme that couldhydrolyze egg white protein efficiently. The taste of hyrolysates by Flavourzyme hydrolysis was a little bitter but acceptable. Egg white and itshydrolysates from Flavourzyme hydrolysis had the ability as Ca and Fe ion solutizer, and this phenomenon was not correlated well with degree of hydrolysis.The hydrolysate from Flavourzyme hydrolysis by 0.5-1 hour had better ability asCa solutizer, and there should be peptides improving Ca solubility.
