Comparison of alcalase- and pepsin-treated oilseed protein hydrolysates - Experimental validation of predicted antioxidant, antihypertensive and antidiabetic properties.

ABSTRACT: There is emerging evidence on the importance of food-derived bioactive peptides to promote human health. Compared with animal derived proteins, plant proteins, in particular oilseed proteins, are considered as affordable and sustainable sources of bioactive peptides. Based on our previous bioinformatic analysis, five oilseed proteins (flaxseed, rapeseed, sunflower, sesame and soybean) were enzymatically hydrolysed using alcalase and pepsin (pH 1.3 and pH 2.1). Further, low molecular weight (M_w ​< ​3 ​kDa) fractions were generated using ultrafiltration. The protein hydrolysates and their low M_w fractions were evaluated for their in vitro antioxidant, antihypertensive and antidiabetic capabilities, in comparison with samples obtained from two dairy proteins (whey
