Influence of heat treatments on the functionality of soy protein hydrolysates in animal cell cultures

Soy protein hydrolysates enhance integral viable cell density (IVCD) and recombinant protein production (Immunoglobulin, IgG) in cell cultures, but their functionality varies from batch-to-batch. This is undesirable since it affects both quantity and characteristics of the recombinant proteins. It is hypothesized that the variability of hydrolysates is due to variations in meal and hydrolysate processing treatments. To study this, hydrolysates were produced from meals heated at 121 °C/0–120 min. The heating decreased free amino acid and reducing monosaccharide contents in meals (0.72–0.27% and 3.3–2.6%) and hydrolysates (14.7–7.1% and 16.9–7.9%). Dry heating introduced large variation in the IVCD ((115–316%), but additional heating in suspension reduced it (131–159%). The decrease in IVCD variation corresponded with decreased variation in carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) and lysinoalanine (LAL) contents. Thus, meal and hydrolysate processing induced substantial variation in hydrolysate functionality. It is therefore critical to establish strict process controls for meal and hydrolysate production to ensure consistency.
