Antioxidant and antihypertensive activity of bovine whey protein concentrate enzymatic hydrolysates

Whey is a highly polluting by-product of cheese processing. However, it has valuable nutritional properties since rich and balanced source proteins amino acids. Therefore, broad range functional that can be exploited for diverse applications. Research shown how the enzymatic hydrolysis whey releases bioactive peptides. In present study, protein concentrate (WCP) was performed using purified Sporisorium reilianum aspartyl protease (Eap1), commercial enzymes chymotrypsin (C) trypsin (T), as well different combinations in order to determine which enzyme or combination allowed release peptides presenting highest antioxidant antihypertensive activity levels; our results indicated with Eap1 best-performing comparison individual their combinations.
