Abstract

AbstractThe pepsin extraction from swine stomachs allows the valorization of meat wastes. Three methods are assayed to extract the pepsin from swine stomachs. Method 1, where the pepsin extraction is made by dissolution in water of the pepsinogen contained in fundus, has the highest extraction yield. Methods 2, that also considers a pepsinogen concentration step by coagulation, and Method 3, that also considers a lyophilisation process, leads to lower amounts of pepsin, but with a higher purity. This study could be useful to optimize the industrial extraction of pepsin from swine stomachs.
