Production and characterization of angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides derived from Alcalase-digested green soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] proteins

The prevalence of hypertension has escalated to the point where at least a quarter of the world’s adult population is afflicted and is projected to increase further. Developing and developed countries are both affected to some extent. Hypertension, by itself or in combination with several othe...

The research community has undertaken an intensive search for novel compounds able to inhibit the angiotensin Iconverting enzyme (ACE), which has been identified as a major target to control hypertension.

Green soybean has a high protein content (43.35%) which could be exploited to produce bioactive peptides, more specifically, ACE inhibitory peptides. Therefore, the work in this thesis was undertaken to investigate the potential of green soybean to generate ACE inhibitory peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis under controlled conditions. The amino acid content of green soybean was evaluated. Defatted green soybean was hydrolysed by four food-grade proteases namely, Alcalase, Papain, Flavourzyme, and Bromelain, and their hydrolysates’ ACE inhibitory activities were compared. The hydrolysate obtained using Alcalase had the strongest inhibitory activity (IC50: 0.14 mg/mL at 6 h hydrolysis time) followed by Papain (IC50: 0.20 mg/mL at 5 h hydrolysis time), Bromelain (IC50: 0.36 mg/mL at 6 h hydrolysis time), and Flavourzyme (IC50: 1.14 mg/mL at 6 h hydrolysis time) hydrolysates. Alcalase-digested hydrolysates were fractionated based on their hydrophobicity using RP-HPLC, and isoelectric points using isoelectric point focusing technique.
