Uses
In a rather unusual application, albumin hydrolysate enhanced ethanol production during fermentation by
Saccharomyces sake (sake yeast). In media supplemented with albumin hydrolysate, final alcohol concentration was 60% higher than without supplementation. The effect is believed to be due to enhanced alcohol tolerance of cells grown in supplemented medium.
Biological Activity
Ovalbumin contributes to the formation of egg white. It elicits various biological activities, such as antihypertensive, anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immune-modulation.
