title: Purification and identification of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory peptides from beef hydrolysates.
abstract: Sarcoplasmic protein extracts from beef rump (biceps femoris) were hydrolyzed (for 0, 4, 8, 12, and 24 h) with three enzymes or their paired combinations. Ultrafiltration, gel-filtration, and RP-HPLC were used to separate angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides from the hydrolysates. The highest ACE inhibitory activity of enzyme hydrolysates resulted from 4 h incubation with enzymes or their paired combinations. The activities of gel filtrated fractions from these hydrolysates were assayed in vitro, demonstrating that the 3rd peak of enzyme thermolysin+proteinase A hydrolysate had the highest ACE inhibition activity (52.8%). The 3rd peak of this hydrolysate was separated by RP-HPLC into five peaks, of which peak 3 showed 30.1% ACE inhibition activity. Its peptide sequence was determined to be Val-Leu-Ala-Gln-Tyr-Lys. The results suggested that this peptide may be a potent ACE inhibitor which might perhaps be used to develop beef with a bioactive peptide to lower blood pressure.
