A comparison has been made of the acid hydrolysis of dry, defatted chicken muscle protein by open reflux and sealed tube methods. It was found necessary to agitate the sealed tube hydrolysate vigorously in order to remove all traces of peptide material and attain satisfactory hydrolysis. The difference in ease of hydrolysis between the two methods may be due to agglomeration of the protein fibrils during hydrolysis.
