The Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is useful in treating diseases, specifically hypertension. Research on the maitake mycelia’s biological properties, nevertheless, are limited in the literature. This study aimed to (i) produce mushroom biomass adopting submerged fermentation, and (ii) investigate the Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme inhibitory activity. Maitake mycelia’s yield after 14 days of fermentation under controlled conditions (approx. 1.32 g/L) were freeze-dried into powder and later were hydrolysed for analyses of Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme inhibitory activity. Current results showed that the degree of hydrolysis increased in line with hydrolysis time, as the protein concentration for hydrolysed sample was 283.61 ± 7.14 µg/mL, however, the non-hydrolysed sample resulted in lesser protein content (46.76 ± 1.09 µg/mL). The hydrolysate maitake mycelia has higher Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme inhibitory activity (46.48%) as compared to the non-hydrolysate maitake mycelia (20.19 ± 0.17%). This finding suggested maitake mycelia hydrolysate can be a source of potential bioactive peptides used in treating hypertension.

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) peptides are bioactive peptides that have important value in terms of research and application in the prevention and treatment of hypertension. While widespread literature is concentrated on casein or whey protein for production of ACE-inhibitory peptides, relatively little information is available on selecting the proper proteases to hydrolyze the protein. In this study, skimmed cow and goat milk were hydrolyzed by four commercial proteases, including alkaline protease, trypsin, bromelain, and papain. Angiotensin I-converting enzyme-inhibitory peptides and degree of hydrolysis (DH) of hydrolysates were measured. Moreover, we compared the difference in ACE-inhibitory activity between cow and goat milk. The results indicated that the DH increased with the increase in hydrolysis time. The alkaline protease-treated hydrolysates exhibited the highest DH value and ACE-inhibitory activity. Additionally, the ACE-inhibitory activity of hydrolysates from goat milk was higher than that of cow milk-derived hydrolysates. Therefore, goat milk is a good source to obtain bioactive peptides with ACE-inhibitory activity, as compared with cow milk. A proper enzyme to produce ACE-inhibitory peptides is important for the development of functional milk products and will provide the theoretical basis for industrial production.

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.

Pea seeds represent a valuable source of active compounds that may positively influence health. In this study, the pea globulins were digestedin vitrounder gastrointestinal condition and potentially bioaccessible angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides were identified. The degree of hydrolysis after pepsin, 14.42%, and pancreatin, 30.65%, were noted. The peptides with the highest ACE inhibitory properties were separated using ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Thirteen peptides fractions were obtained but only four showed potential antihypertensive properties. The highest inhibitory activity was determined for the fraction F8 (IC50 = 0.0014 mg/mL). This fraction was separated on Sephadex G10 and two peptide fractions were obtained. The peptides fraction (B) with the highest ACE inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.073 mg/mL) was identified by ESI-MS/MS. The sequences of ACE inhibitory peptides were GGSGNY, DLKLP, GSSDNR, MRDLK, and HNTPSR. Based on Lineweaver-Burk plots for the fraction B, the kinetic parameters asKm,Vmax, andKiand mode of inhibition were determined. This fraction belongs to uncompetitive inhibitor of ACE activity. The seeds of pea are the source of precursor protein, which releases the ACE inhibitory peptides as a result of enzymatic hydrolysis.
