Peptide fraction < 3 kDa, which exhibited the highest antioxidant
activities (i.e., ABTS (42.2%) and FRAP (0.81mM)) and α-amylase
inhibitory activity (62.1%), was then subjected to LCMS and MS/MS
analyses. Six sequences (PPHMLP, PPMHLP, PLPPHMLP, PLPLHMLP, ACSNHSPLGWRGH, LSSLEMGSLGALFVCM) were identified for antioxidant peptides, whereas seven (PPHMLP, PPMHLP,
PLPWGAGF, GDAACCGLPLLP, PPHMGGP, PLPPHDLL, FNPFPSPHTP) peptides for
α-amylase inhibitor. These peptide sequences were suggested to be the
potential contributor to both antioxidant and α-amylase inhibitory
activity (Synthetic peptide was not tested). |
