Abstract:

The optimal pepsin hydrolysis of casein for preparing ACE inhibitory peptides was explored by single factor and orthogonal array design methods. The optimal hydrolysis parameters were determined to be: 37 ℃, pH 3.0, enzyme-tosubstrate ratio 1:100, and substrate concentration 7%. The optimized pepsin hydrolysis yielded a product presenting 92.5% ACE inhibition ratio and 0.24 mg/mL IC50. The correlation between hydrolysis degree of casein and ACE inhibition ratio of its hydrolysates was complicated.

Key words: casein, ACE inhibitory activity, pepsin
