Numerous casein and whey protein-derived angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides/hydrolysates have been identified. Clinical trials in hypertensive animals and humans show that these peptides/hydrolysates can bring about a significant reduction in hypertension. These peptides/hydrolysates may be classified as functional food ingredients and nutraceuticals due to their ability ...

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the anti-obesity potential of camel colostrum and milk proteins as well their enzymatic hydrolysates. Camel were treated using six proteolytic enzymes (pepsin, trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, pancreatin, papain, pronase). The degree hydrolysis was measured verify degradation proteins. in vitro activity evaluated pancreatic lipase inhibitory assay. protein hydro...

The conversion of low-value byproducts to high value-added protein hydrolysates by enzymatic hydrolysis is among the top trends in food industry. Protein provide an opportunity for effective utilization and are considered promising functional ingredients. However, hydrolyzing effect contributes taste aroma defects such as fishy off-flavour bitterness that impeded their application. Several proc...

Jatropha curcas L. protein hydrolysates were produced by treatment of a non-toxic genotype with Alcalase as well as the digestive enzymes pepsin and pancreatin. The J. curcas protein hydrolysate produced with the pepsin-pancreatin system from protein isolate had the highest TEAC value and was shown to undergo single-electron transfer reactions in the ABTS(+) reduction assay, demonstrating its a...

The aim of this study was to produce a valuable protein hydrolysate from palm kernel cake (PKC) for the development of natural antioxidants. Extracted PKC protein was hydrolyzed using different proteases (alcalase, chymotrypsin, papain, pepsin, trypsin, flavourzyme, and bromelain). Subsequently, antioxidant activity and degree of hydrolysis (DH) of each hydrolysate were evaluated using DPPH• ra...

Algae produce some substances that have a positive effect on human health. are known as sources suitable for use in food and foods with the bioactive components they at high rate. These ingredients called nutraceuticals. Nutraceuticals products physiological benefits protective against chronic diseases generally recommended to be used medicines. Bioactive nutraceuticals from aquaculture; fish o...

Fish collagen is reported with an increased bioavailability as compared to other sources, the extraction being performed on secondary sources skin, bones, scales, or fins resulted after fish processing. The aim of present study was obtain biocompatible hydrolysates from waste Cyprinus carpio main aquaculture species in Romania using inexpensive and “green” neutral hydrolysis process. Neutral pr...

Recently, the study of hydrolysates from food proteins has been increasingly due to their wide range biological activities. Hydrolysates contain peptides 2–20 amino acids that are inactive within sequence parent protein, but, once released after proteolytic processes, they exert numerous beneficial health effects. Hemp, non-drug variety Cannabis sativa, is known as an important source bioactive...

Halibut larvae were treated with various bioactive products and the effects on selected components of the innate immune system investigated. Effects on growth, survival and normal development of larvae were also studied. The bioactive products which were tested were chitosan and protein hydrolysates from cod, blue whiting and pollock. The larvae where treated with bioactive products from the on...
