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).
