Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Protein hydrolysates have been reported to possess numerous bioactivities. However, research on melon (Cucumis melo L.) seed protein (MSP) hydrolysate is limited. This study aimed to analyze the antioxidant and hypocholesterolemic properties of MSP hydrolysate. Protein from melon seed was obtained by conventional alkaline extraction-isoelectric precipitation method. Enzymatic hydrolysis of MSP was carried out using three different proteases: pepsin, thermolysin, and trypsin, with the enzyme-to-substrate (E/S) ratio of 1:50 (w/w). The results showed that all hydrolysates exhibited antioxidant and hypocholesterolemic activity. The thermolysin-digested hydrolysate had significantly greater (p < 0.05) radical scavenging properties, while trypsin produced the highest (p < 0.05) metal ion chelating activity. At 2 mg/mL, thermolysin-derived MSP hydrolysate showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) in HMGR inhibition activity compared to pravastatin. Additionally, the thermolysin hydrolysate had significantly higher (p < 0.05) bile acid binding ability than other hydrolysates. Overall, the MSP hydrolysate produced by thermolysin exhibited stronger antioxidant and hypocholesterolemic activities when compared to those produced by pepsin and trypsin, suggesting its potential effectiveness in nutraceutical applications.
