Isolation, purification and characterization of the antibacterial, antihypertensive and antioxidative properties of the bioactive peptides in the purified and proteolyzed major storage protein of pigeon pea () seeds.

Previous studies in pigeon pea showed health benefits but very few explored peptide bioactivities. This study examined antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antihypertensive activities of peptides in purified and proteolyzed major globulin fraction, cajanin, of pigeon pea () seeds. In-silico analysis showed 41 antihypertensive and nine antioxidant peptides but zero antibacterial peptides from cajanin sequence.
