Claims14
A method of producing a peptide isolate, comprising the steps of:
- mixing fish meat with water to produce an aqueous mixture;
- adjusting the pH of the aqueous mixture to a basic pH;
- hydrolyzing the fish meat by adding an alkaline protease to the aqueous mixture and incubating the aqueous mixture under conditions sufficient to produce a hydrolysate and;
- extracting the peptide isolate from the hydrolysate, wherein the peptide isolate consists of the amino acid sequence of VIYSR (SEQ ID NO:
- 6).
A method of treating hypertension in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a peptide, wherein the peptide consists of the amino acid sequence according to VIYSR (SEQ ID NO:
- 6).
