Efficacy of a Novel ACE-Inhibitory Peptide from in Hypertension and Reduction of Intracellular Endothelin-1.

Sargassum maclurei is a potential protein resource because of its high protein content and relatively balanced amino acid composition. To promote its usage in food, medical, or other industries, S. maclurei protein was hydrolyzed by pepsin and papain to obtain bioactive peptides.

Antioxidant Activity of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) Protein Fractions.

Coconut cake is an abundant and good potential edible protein source. However, until now it has not been extensively used in the food industry. To promote its usage, the characterization, nutrition value and antioxidant activity of coconut cake protein fractions (albumin, globulin, prolamine, glutelin-1 and glutelin-2) were studied.
