Abstract
Soybeans (Glycine max. var. Altona) were germinated for up to 4 days. Radicles , teguments and epicotyls were then removed and aqueous extracts were obtained from freezedried, ground and defatted cotyledons. The proteolytic activity of the soymeal extracts was investigated using 16
different synthetic and natural substrates. Neutral and acid proteinases were detected, as well as aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases. Comparison between germinated (1, 2, 3 and 4 days) and ungerminated cotyledons showed a dramatic increase of neutra! proteinase and carboxypeptidase C activities with germination, whereas acid proteinase and aminopeptidase activities decreased significantly from the first day of germination. Preliminary results demon-strated that a minimum of 3 molecular species were responsible for the aminopeptidase activity, whereas molecular weight monodispersity characterized the neutral proteinases.
