Abstract
Improved processes are provided for preparing ACE inhibitory peptide containing hydrolysates from a plant material such as a seed meal or flour. In one embodiment, the seed meal or flour is extracted with an organic solvent prior to digestion. Also provided are ACE inhibitory peptides Val-Ser-Val and Phe-Leu.
Claims45
A process for preparing an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide-containing hydrolysate comprising
- contacting a substantially oil-free seed meal or a flour with an organic solvent,
- separating the meal or flour from the solvent, and
- treating the meal or flour with at least one proteolytic enzyme to produce an ACE inhibitory peptide-containing hydrolysate.
A process for preparing an ACE inhibitory peptide-containing hydrolysate from flax or canola comprising
- treating a substantially oil-free flax seed meal or a substantially oil-free canola seed meal with at least one proteolytic enzyme to produce an ACE inhibitory peptide-containing hydrolysate.
An ACE inhibitory peptide-containing hydrolysate produced by partial proteolytic digestion of a flax meal or a canola meal.
A composition comprising at least one of peptides Val-Ser-Val and Phe-Leu and a carrier.
A peptide of the formula Val-Ser-Val or Phe-Leu.
