Optimum conditions for hydrolysis of sunflower sees by pepsin and for plastein formation by pepsin were determined. The optimum conditions for hydrolysis of sunflower seed were pH 1.5, 45¡É, enzyme concentration 2%, substrate concentration 2%, and hydrolysis time 24hr. The optimum conditions for sunflower seed-plastein formation were 50% substrate, pH 4.5, 50¡É, 0.25% pepsin and 18hrs reaction time. To verify plastein fromation from concentrated prptic hydrolysate of sunflower seed, thin layer chromatography was performed. The TLC pattern of concentrated peptic hydrolysate of sunflower seed was different from that of its plastein. The TLC pattern of concentrated peptic hydrolysate of sunflower seed and that of its plastein indicated that plastein was different material from the hydrolysate.
