The effects of power ultrasound pretreatments on the degree of hydrolysis (DH), angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity, amino acid composition, surface hydrophobicity, protein solubility, and thermal stability of ACE inhibition of rapeseed protein hydrolysates were evaluated. Ultrasonic pretreatments before enzymolysis in terms of power and exposure time increased the DH and ACE inhibitory activities over the control (without sonication). In this study, maximum DH 22.07% and ACE inhibitory activity 72.13% were achieved at 600 W and 12 min pretreatment. Compared to the hydrolysates obtained without sonication, the amino acid profile of ultrasound pretreated hydrolysates showed significant changes particularly in the proline content and hydrophobic amino acids with an increased rate of 2.47% and 6.31%, respectively. Ultrasound pretreatment (600 watts, 12 min) improved functional properties of protein hydrolysates over control by enhancing surface hydrophobicity and solubility index with an increased rate of 130.76% and 34.22%. Moreover, the stability test showed that the ACE inhibitory activity remains stable against heat treatments. However, extensive heat, prolonged heating time, and alkaline conditions were not in the favor of stability test, while under mild heat and acidic conditions their ACE inhibitory activities were not significantly different from unheated samples.

Xuanwei ham is especially rich in a large amount of peptides and free amino acids under the action of protein degradation. Some of these peptides can potentially exert bioactivities of interest for human health. Traditionally, Xuanwei ham should undergo Chinese household cooking treatments before eating. However, it has not been known how its bioactivity changes after cooking and gastrointestinal digestion. Herein, Xuanwei ham is analysed before and after cooking, as well as gastrointestinal digestion being simulated so as to evaluate and compare its effect on antioxidant and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities. The antioxidant activity is analysed using five different methods, and results demonstrate that cooking has some negative effects on antioxidative capacity when determined using different antioxidant methods except for a significant increment in 1,1'-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical-scavenging activity, while ACE inhibitory activity increases significantly after cooking compared with control samples. After gastrointestinal digestion of samples, there is a significant increment of the antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activities in comparison with control and cooked samples. Particularly, after gastrointestinal digestion, free thiols content and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical-cation-scavenging activity of Xuanwei ham, respectively, increase about twice and fourfold, while ACE inhibitory activity increases about twice compared to cooked samples, reaching the value of 83.73%. Therefore, through cooking the antioxidant activity and ACE inhibitory activity of Xuanwei ham are not completely lost and a part of them is still maintained, while gastrointestinal digestion produces a significant enhancement in both bioactivities, highlighting a greater potential for a beneficial physiological effect on human health after eating it.

Gac (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng.) seed proteins (GSPs) hydrolysate was investigated for angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities. GSPs were hydrolyzed under simulated gastrointestinal digestion using a combination of enzymes, including pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. The screening of ACE inhibitory peptides from GSPs hydrolysate was performed using two sequential bioassay-guided fractionations, namely hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Then, the peptides in the fraction with the highest ACE inhibitory activity were identified by LC-MS/MS. The flow-through (FT) fraction showed the most potent ACE inhibitory activity when HILIC fractionation was performed. This fraction was further separated using RP-HPLC, and the result indicated that fraction 8 (RP-F8) showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity. In the HILIC-FT/RP-F8 fraction, 14 peptides were identified using LC-MS/MS analysis coupled with de novo sequencing. These amino acid chains had not been recorded previously and their ACE inhibitory activities were analyzed in silico using the BIOPEP database. One fragment with the amino acid sequence of ALVY showed a significant ACE inhibitory activity (7.03 ± 0.09 µM). The Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated that ALVY is a competitive inhibitor. The inhibition mechanism of ALVY against ACE was further rationalized through the molecular docking simulation, which revealed that the ACE inhibitory activities of ALVY is due to interaction with the S1 (Ala354, Tyr523) and the S2 (His353, His513) pockets of ACE. Bibliographic survey allowed the identification of similarities between peptides reported as in gac fruit and other proteins. These results suggest that gac seed proteins hydrolysate can be used as a potential nutraceutical with inhibitory activity against ACE.

Proteins from fresh New Zealand green-lipped mussels were hydrolyzed for 240 min using pepsin and alcalase. The extent of the hydrolysis, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of each protein hydrolysate were investigated. Peptides obtained from pepsin hydrolysis after 30 min, named GPH, exhibited the highest antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activity, but no antimicrobial activity. Purification of the GPH using gel-filtration chromatography revealed that the protein fraction (GPH-IV*) containing peptides with a molecular weight (MW) below 5 kDa had the strongest antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activities. Further purification was done using reverse-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) and the only major peak obtained (GPH-IV*-P2) had the highest antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activity. From this fraction, several bioactive peptides with an MW ≈ 5 kDa were identified using LC-MS and in silico analyses. This research highlights that green-lipped mussel protein hydrolysates could be used as a good source of bioactive peptides with potential therapeutic applications.

This work evaluated the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)–inhibitory activities of bovine, ovine, and caprine κ-casein macropeptides (CMPs) and their tryptic hydrolysates. The results obtained indicate that bovine, ovine, and caprine CMPs exhibited moderate in vitro ACE-inhibitory activities that increased considerably after digestion under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Active peptides could also be produced from CMPs via proteolysis with trypsin, with tryptic hydrolysates exhibiting a more extensive ACE-inhibitory activity than intact CMPs during simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Two active fractions were chromatographically separated from the tryptic hydrolysate of the bovine CMP, but their complexity hampered the assignment of the ACE-inhibitory activity to specific peptide sequences. Evidence for the release of the strong ACE-inhibitory tripeptide IPP was found upon simulation of the gastrointestinal digestion of peptides released by trypsin from the CMP sequence. These findings might help to promote further exploitation of cheese whey in the preparation of nutraceuticals for inclusion in the composition of functional food products with high added values.

When fish are processed, fish bone becomes a key component of the waste, but to date very few researchers have sought to use fish bone to prepare protein hydrolysates as a means of adding value to the final product. This study, therefore, examines the potential of salmon bone, through an analysis of the benefits of its constituent components, namely fat, moisture, protein, and ash. In particular, the study seeks to optimize the process of enzymatic hydrolysis of salmon bone with trypsin in order to produce angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides making use of response surface methodology in combination with central composite design (CCD). Optimum hydrolysis conditions concerning DH (degree of hydrolysis) and ACE-inhibitory activity were initially determined using the response surface model. Having thus determined which of the salmon bone protein hydrolysates (SBPH) offered the greatest level of ACE-inhibitory activity, these SBPH were duly selected to undergo ultrafiltration for further fractionation. It was found that the greatest ACE-inhibitory activity was achieved by the SBPH fraction which had a molecular weight lower than 0.65 kDa. This fraction underwent further purification using RP-HPLC, revealing that the F7 fraction offered the best ACE-inhibitory activity. For ACE inhibition, the ideal peptide in the context of the F7 fraction comprised eight amino acids: Phe-Cys-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Leu-Ala-Arg (FCLYELAR), while analysis of the Lineweaver-Burk plot revealed that the FCLYELAR peptide can serve as an uncompetitive ACE inhibitor. An examination of the molecular docking process showed that the FCLYELAR peptide was primarily able to provide ACE-inhibitory qualities as a consequence of the hydrogen bond interactions taking place between ACE and the peptide. Furthermore, upon isolation form the SBPH, the ACE-inhibitory peptide demonstrated ACE-inhibitory capabilities in vitro, underlining its potential for applications in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.

The ACE inhibitory activities of mixtures of FOSHUs (Healthya, Goma-Mugicha, Lapis Support and Ameal) were examined in order to identify any antihypertensive interactions. Among combinations of Healthya with other samples that contain active peptides, only that with Ameal was found to have no inhibitory activity. Enhanced activity was observed in 2 other mixtures. The activity of a mixture of tea polyphenols and the whey component extracted from an Ameal solution was significantly decreased, thus demonstrating that whey protein lowered the ACE inhibitory activity of Healthya. Although oral administration of tea polyphenols alone significantly decreased SBP in SHR at 2 and 4 hr, combined administration with Ameal failed to decrease SBP at the same time points. In conclusion, the simultaneous intake of tea and FOSHUs that contain active peptides might affect daily self-antihypertensive management via enhancement or suppression of ACE inhibitory activity.
