Preparation method
Mode of preparation

Enzymatic hydrolysis

Enzyme(s)/starter culture

α-Lactalbumin was hydrolyzed with proteases from Bromelia antiacantha Bertol., a native plant.

Stability & Cytotoxicity
Peptide stability
Literature report:

TTFHTSGY in silico gastrointestinal digestion released ACE inhibitory dipeptides TF and SG. TF was shown to have more potent ACE-inhibitory effect (IC50 = 18 μM) than original peptide.

EHP-Tool: Enzymatic Hydrolysis Prediction Tool (EHP-Tool)
Peptide cytotoxicity
Literature report:

In silico analysis indicated that the peptide was non-toxic (ToxinPred).

Prediction: ToxinPred
Additional information
Additional information

The results indicate that cysteine peptidases from B. antiacantha hydrolyse α-lactalbumin to produce novel ACE inhibitory peptides that could be useful even as functional food ingredients.
