Antioxidant activities of snakehead (Channa striata) fish skin

(0, 30, 60, 90, 120 min, respectively), with two replicates, which included several stages of preparation and pre-treatment of the snakehead fish skin production of protease enzymes which were isolated from swamp water, preparation of protein hydrolysates, measurement of hydrolysis degrees, analysis of peptides content and analysis of the antioxidant activity. Results showed that the treatment had given a significant effect on the 5% level of the degree of hydrolysis production (13.98% – 27.08%), with peptides content of 2.73% – 3.78% and antioxidant activity (10.75% – 20.7%). The results of the degree of hydrolysis indicate that the longer the hydrolysis time, the percent degree of hydrolysis will increase. Peptide content and antioxidant activity were increased with increasing hydrolysis time.
