Proteins from fresh New Zealand green-lipped mussels were hydrolyzed for 240 min using pepsin and alcalase. The extent of the hydrolysis, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of each protein hydrolysate were investigated. Peptides obtained from pepsin hydrolysis after 30 min, named GPH, exhibited the highest antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activity, but no antimicrobial activity. Purification of the GPH using gel-filtration chromatography revealed that the protein fraction (GPH-IV*) containing peptides with a molecular weight (MW) below 5 kDa had the strongest antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activities. Further purification was done using reverse-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) and the only major peak obtained (GPH-IV*-P2) had the highest antioxidant and ACE inhibitory activity. From this fraction, several bioactive peptides with an MW ≈ 5 kDa were identified using LC-MS and in silico analyses. This research highlights that green-lipped mussel protein hydrolysates could be used as a good source of bioactive peptides with potential therapeutic applications.

Food protein-derived antihypertensive peptides have attracted substantial attention as a safer alternative for drugs. The regulation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential aspect underlying the mechanisms of antihypertensive peptides. Most of the identified antihypertensive peptides exhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory effect.

This comprehensive review explores the biological functions of seed proteins and peptides, highlighting their significant potential for health and therapeutic applications. This review delves into the mechanisms through which perilla peptides combat oxidative stress and protect cells from oxidative damage, encompassing free radical scavenging, metal chelating, in vivo antioxidant, and cytoprotective activities. Perilla peptides exhibit robust anti-aging properties by activating the Nrf2 pathway, enhancing cellular antioxidant capacity, and supporting skin health through the promotion of keratinocyte growth, maintenance of collagen integrity, and reduction in senescent cells.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, which can lead to kidney and heart disease, stroke, and premature death. Inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity is an effective method to relieve hypertension. Previously, we screened an active peptide KYPHVF (KF6) from Boletus griseus-Hypomyces chrysospermus with excellent ACE inhibitory activity.

This study aimed to investigate the changes in the bioactive peptides (BPs) of buffalo milk cheese (BMC) within 15 days of storage. A total of 3605 peptides were identified in the BMC, with 260 peptides remaining stable for 15 days. Among these, the peak intensities of all reported BPs (9 peptides) increased on the 15th day.
