Abstract:

Naturally occurring angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides are potential antihypertensive agents that haven been applied in functional foods or nutraceuticals. The review discusses the research status of plant protein-derived ACE inhibitory peptides from the following aspects of plant protein source, protein extraction, protein enzymolysis and ACE purification and preparation of ACE inhibitory peptides from bee pollen protein. Meanwhile, the promising development prospect of ACE inhibitory peptides derived from plant and bee pollen protein was pointed out.

Key words: ACE inhibitory peptides, plant protein, bee pollen
