Abstract
Disclosed is a method for producing an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor composition from natural materials, which composition is of use as an antihypertensive drug or diet. The method comprises heating a meat in water at a temperature not lower than 50.degree. C. to extract water-soluble protein and hydrolyzing the residue predominantly composed of water-insoluble protein with a protease.
Claims1
A method of producing an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor-containing composition which comprises heat-treating a dried bonito meat in water at a temperature not lower than 50.degree. C. to extract water-soluble protein and hydrolyzing the residue predominantly composed of water-insoluble protein with a thermolysin.
