Abstract

Tylorrhynchus heterochaetus is an aquatic food with both edible and medicinal value in China. With a protein-rich body wall, it has strong potential for producing bioactive peptides. To explore its potential as a source of immunomodulatory peptides, in this study, flavor enzymes were selected as the optimal hydrolases, and the hydrolyzed products were subjected to ultrafiltration fractionation.
