Tempeh is a fermented food that is good for health and has high nutritional value. Koro kratok tempeh is one of tempeh which is made from non-soybean legumes. The fermentation process will convert macromolecular compounds to micromolecules thereby increasing bioavailability and providing functional properties. This study aimed to find out the chemical properties of koro kratok tempeh and the effect of peptide molecular weight of koro kratok tempeh on ACE inhibition activity. The results show that koro kratok seeds contained 20.66% protein which total hydrophobic amino acid was 3.32% (w/w protein). This hydrophobic amino acid was higher than that soybean, indicated that koro kratok (Phaseolus lunatus) has a potential producing ACE peptide inhibitors. The koro kratok seeds had ACE inhibitory activity  19.72%. This activity increased to 84.97% when the seeds were fermented for 48h to become tempeh. Peptide fractionation showed that the smaller the molecular weight of the peptide, the higher the ACE inhibitory activity.

Health benefits of probiotics and production of inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) released during milk fermentation are well known. That is why in this investigation the proteolytic profile and ACE inhibitory capacity of peptide fractions from protein hydrolysis of milk during fermentation processes was analyzed. Milk fermentation was carried out inoculating 106 CFU of L. rhamnosus GG, S. thermophilus SY-102 and with both bacteria. The proteolytic profile was determined using: TNBS, SDS-PAGE and SEC-HPLC techniques. In vitro ACE inhibition capacity was measured. The pH of 4.5 was reached at 56 h when the milk was fermented with L. rhamnosus, at 12 h with S. thermophillus and at 41 h in the co-culture. Production of free amino groups corresponded with the profile of low molecular weight peptides observed by SDS-PAGE and SEC-HPLC. Co-culture fermentation showed both the highest concentration of low molecular weight peptides and the ACE inhibitory activity (>80%). Results indicated that the combination of lactic cultures could be useful in manufacture of fermented milk with an added value that goes beyond basic nutrition, such as the production of ACE-inhibitory peptides.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) converts angiotensin I into the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and eventually elevates blood pressure. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Studies show peptides present anti-hypertensive activity by ACE inhibition. During food processing and digestion, food proteins may be hydrolyzed and release peptides. Our objective was to determine and compare the ACE inhibitory potential of fermented and non-fermented soy foods and isolated 7S and 11S protein fractions. Soy foods (e.g., soybean, natto, tempeh, yogurt, soymilk, tofu, soy-sprouts) and isolated proteins were in vitro digested prior to the determination of ACE inhibitory activity. Peptide molecular weight distribution in digested samples was analyzed and correlated with ACE inhibitory capacity. Raw and cooked soymilk showed the highest ACE inhibitory potential. Bacteria-fermented soy foods had higher ACE inhibitory activity than fungus-fermented soy food, and 3 day germinated sprouts had higher ACE inhibition than those germinated for 5 and 7 days. The 11S hydrolysates showed higher ACE inhibitory capacity than 7S. Peptides of 1–4.5 kDa showed a higher contribution to reducing IC50. This study provides evidence that soy foods and isolated 7S and 11S proteins may be used as functional foods or ingredients to prevent or control hypertension.

Gac (Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng.) seed proteins (GSPs) hydrolysate was investigated for angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities. GSPs were hydrolyzed under simulated gastrointestinal digestion using a combination of enzymes, including pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. The screening of ACE inhibitory peptides from GSPs hydrolysate was performed using two sequential bioassay-guided fractionations, namely hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Then, the peptides in the fraction with the highest ACE inhibitory activity were identified by LC-MS/MS. The flow-through (FT) fraction showed the most potent ACE inhibitory activity when HILIC fractionation was performed. This fraction was further separated using RP-HPLC, and the result indicated that fraction 8 (RP-F8) showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity. In the HILIC-FT/RP-F8 fraction, 14 peptides were identified using LC-MS/MS analysis coupled with de novo sequencing. These amino acid chains had not been recorded previously and their ACE inhibitory activities were analyzed in silico using the BIOPEP database. One fragment with the amino acid sequence of ALVY showed a significant ACE inhibitory activity (7.03 ± 0.09 µM). The Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated that ALVY is a competitive inhibitor. The inhibition mechanism of ALVY against ACE was further rationalized through the molecular docking simulation, which revealed that the ACE inhibitory activities of ALVY is due to interaction with the S1 (Ala354, Tyr523) and the S2 (His353, His513) pockets of ACE. Bibliographic survey allowed the identification of similarities between peptides reported as in gac fruit and other proteins. These results suggest that gac seed proteins hydrolysate can be used as a potential nutraceutical with inhibitory activity against ACE.

Hypertension is one of the most common worldwide diseases in humans. Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) plays an important role in regulating blood pressure and hypertension. An evaluation was done on the effect of Alcalase hydrolysis of defattedJatropha curcaskernel meal on ACE inhibitory activity in the resulting hydrolysate and its purified fractions. Alcalase exhibited broad specificity and produced a protein hydrolysate with a 21.35% degree of hydrolysis and 34.87% ACE inhibition. Ultrafiltration of the hydrolysate produced peptide fractions with increased biological activity (24.46–61.41%). Hydrophobic residues contributed substantially to the peptides’ inhibitory potency. The 5–10 and <1 kDa fractions were selected for further fractionation by gel filtration chromatography. ACE inhibitory activity (%) ranged from 22.66 to 45.96% with the 5–10 kDa ultrafiltered fraction and from 36.91 to 55.83% with the <1 kDa ultrafiltered fraction. The highest ACE inhibitory activity was observed inF2 ( μg/mL) from the 5–10 kDa fraction andF1 ( μg/mL) from the <1 kDa fraction. ACE inhibitory fractions fromJatrophakernel have potential applications in alternative hypertension therapies, adding a new application for theJatrophaplant protein fraction and improving the financial viability and sustainability of a Jatropha-based biodiesel industry.

Several milk/whey derived peptides possess high in vitro angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. However, in some cases, poor correlation between the in vitro ACE inhibitory activity and the in vivo antihypertensive activity has been observed. The aim of this study is to gain insight into the structure-activity relationship of peptide sequences present in whey/milk protein hydrolysates with high ACE inhibitory activity, which could lead to a better understanding and prediction of their in vivo antihypertensive activity. The potential interactions between peptides produced from whey proteins, previously reported as high ACE inhibitors such as IPP, LIVTQ, IIAE, LVYPFP, and human ACE were assessed using a molecular docking approach. The results show that peptides IIAE, LIVTQ, and LVYPFP formed strong H bonds with the amino acids Gln 259, His 331, and Thr 358 in the active site of the human ACE. Interestingly, the same residues were found to form strong hydrogen bonds with the ACE inhibitory drug Sampatrilat. Furthermore, peptides IIAE and LVYPFP interacted with the amino acid residues Gln 259 and His 331, respectively, also in common with other ACE-inhibitory drugs such as Captopril, Lisinopril and Elanapril. Additionally, IIAE interacted with the amino acid residue Asp 140 in common with Lisinopril, and LIVTQ interacted with Ala 332 in common with both Lisinopril and Elanapril. The peptides produced naturally from whey by enzymatic hydrolysis interacted with residues of the human ACE in common with potent ACE-inhibitory drugs which suggests that these natural peptides may be potent ACE inhibitors.

In this study, the antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats of two peptides isolated from β-lactoglobulin hydrolysates with thermolysin was evaluated. These peptides, with sequences LLF [β-lg f(103–105)] and LQKW [β-lg f(58–61)], showed potent in vitro ACE-inhibitory activity. Two hours after administration, both sequences caused a clear and significant decrease in the blood pressure of these rats. The impact of a simulated gastrointestinal digestion on ACE-inhibitory and antihypertensive activities of these peptides was also studied. The results showed that both fragments were susceptible to proteolytic degradation after incubation with pepsin and Corolase PP®. In addition, their in vitro ACE-inhibitory activity decreased after the simulated digestion. It is likely that fragment LQK was the active end product of the gastrointestinal digestion of peptide LQKW. The fragment LL, observed after digestion of peptide LLF, probably exert its antihypertensive effect through a mechanism of action different than ACE-inhibition.

Abstract. Rubak YT, Nuraida L, Iswantini D, Prangdimurti E, Sanam MUE. 2021. Peptide profiling of goat milk fermented by Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii BD7: Identification of potential biological activity. Biodiversitas 22: 3136-3145. This study investigated the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity in fermented goat milk by Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii BD7, characterizing the peptide and its potential as a bioactive peptide. The starter culture (2%) was inoculated into pasteurized goat skim milk (11%), then incubated at 37 °C until it reached pH 4.6. Centrifugation at 6000 g x 10 minutes at 4 °C was applied. The supernatant obtained was then ultrafiltrated using a membrane cut-off with a molecular weight of 3 kDa, and the fraction obtained was analyzed to determine the inhibitory activity of ACE. Peptides were characterized using Nano LC / MS / MS, and identification as bioactive peptides was carried out based on a literature review. ACE inhibitory activity of fermented goat milk of Lb. delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii BD7 was 55.98 ± 3.53%. A total of 157 peptides were released with molecular weights ranging from 770.78 - 2081.12 Da and having 7-19 amino acid residues. The main peptide was hydrolyzed from casein (72.6%), cleavage in the parent protein, specific for aliphatic and aromatic amino acids. Identification of bioactive peptides based on the similarity of amino acid residues at C-terminal obtained 28 ACE inhibitor peptides, 19 antioxidant peptides, and ten antimicrobial peptides. Some of these peptides have homologous sequences with previously reported peptides. Lb. delbrueckii ssp. delbrueckii BD7 has the potential as a starter culture to produce fermented milk, which is rich in biological activity.
