Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitory and Antioxidant Activities of Enzymatic Hydrolysates of Korean Native Cattle (Hanwoo)‎ Myofibrillar Protein

الملخص EN

The purpose of this study was to determine the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and antioxidant activities of myofibrillar protein hydrolysates (HMPHs) of different molecular weights (<3 and <10 kDa) derived from Korean native cattle (Hanwoo breed) using a commercially available and inexpensive enzyme (Alkaline-AK).

HMPH of both tested molecular weights had ACE inhibitory activity.

Among the antioxidant activities, iron chelation and nitrite scavenging activities were higher in low-molecular-weight peptide of HMPH (<3 kDa), whereas 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was higher in high-molecular-weight peptide of HMPH (<10 kDa).

HMPH did not induce cytotoxicity in RAW 264.7 cells at concentrations of 5–20 mg/mL.

These results indicate that HMPH can be cheaply produced using Alkaline-AK and applied as a potential ACE inhibitor and antioxidant.
