Biological/Functional activity & target protein
ACE-inhibitory activity

The F13 fraction of casein hydrolysates showed inhibition of 43% against Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) (EC 3.4.15.1). The peptide YYQQKP was isolated from the F13, so the peptide was a potential ACE-inhibitory peptide (Undetermined valid IC50 value).

Preparation method
Mode of preparation

Enzymatic hydrolysis

Enzyme(s)/starter culture

Proteolytic enzymes secreted by the cold-adapted microorganism Arsukibacterium ikkense were tested for their ability to degrade caseins at low temperature and produce bioactive peptides. The caseins were extensively degraded (90%) after 24 h of hydrolysis at 5 °C and completely degraded at 25 °C, and many novel peptides were formed.

Additional information
Additional information

Secreted enzymes from cultures of A. ikkense could be a valuable enzyme preparation for inexpensive, energy-efficient production of potent bioactive peptides from caseins in milk at low temperatures.
