Estimating the term…
Abstract
A natural salt-reducing peptide composition comprises at least two salt-reducing peptides, wherein both peptides are capable of binding to the TMC4 receptor and/or the ENaC receptor. The natural salt-reducing peptide composition provides a sensory experience similar to that of salt in terms of saltiness perception. It reduces salt concentration without diminishing perceived saltiness. As a future food additive, it enhances the health attributes of foods while meeting consumer expectations for flavor.
Claims10
A natural salt-reducing peptide composition comprising salt-reducing peptides EF10 and PP9, wherein bonding forces of salt-reducing peptides EF10 and PP9 toward TMC4 receptors and ENaC receptors have a high degree of affinity;
- an amino acid sequence of EF10 is shown in SEQ ID NO:1 as EDEGEQPRPF;
- an amino acid sequence of PP9 is shown in SEQ ID NO:2 as PKLLLLPKP.
