A 尾-lactoglobulin tryptic hydrolysate had antioxidant activity and inhibited dipeptidyl peptidase IV and angiotensin converting enzyme.
Membrane fractionation selectively enhanced the bioactive properties of this hydrolysate.
尾-lactoglobulin derived peptide 尾-lg f(15–20), VAGTWY, has multifunctional activity (antioxidant activity, dipeptidyl peptidase IV and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition) and this is the first report of its potent antioxidant activity.
尾-lactoglobulin peptides IIAEK and IPAVFK were inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme.
尾-lactoglobulin peptides have potential as multifunctional ingredients for management of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
