The Perilla seed meal (PSM) protein was hydrolyzed with Flavourzyme; the hydrolysate was fractionated by an ultrafiltration and its physiological activity was measured. Peptides with low molecular weights exhibited higher antioxidant activity, except for the Fe<sup>2+</sup> chelating activity, compared to peptides with a high molecular weight. The IC<sub>50</sub> values of the α-amylase inhibitory activity ranged from 727.89 µg/ml to 757.18 µg/ml, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was highest in the &lt; 1 kDa fraction. The &lt; 1 kDa fraction exhibited the strongest angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity. As a result, the peptides from PSM protein hydrolysates, particularly peptides &lt; 1 kDa, exhibited excellent antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antihypertensive activities and thus were highly likely to be developed as a functional food material.

Unsaponifiable matter (USM) from perilla seed meal contains numerous phytochemicals, including tocopherols, phytosterols, squalene, and policosanols, that exhibit antioxidant and health-promoting properties. In this study, the protective effects of USM on UVB-induced skin aging were investigated in Hs68 cells. UVB irradiation decreased cell viability by 26% compared to the control. However, USM blocked UVB-induced cytotoxicity. Moreover, USM treatment significantly decreased the UVB-induced production of reactive oxygen species and attenuated the UVB-induced production and mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by inhibiting the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and activator protein 1 (AP-1). Furthermore, UVB exposure led to a 49.4% reduction in collagen synthesis. However, USM treatment restored collagen synthesis through upregulation of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β)/Smad2/3 pathways. These data indicate that USM regulates the production of MMPs and collagen by modulation of the TGF-β/Smad pathway and AP-1 activity, suggesting that USM may be a useful anti-photoaging ingredient.
