Abstract

An alcalase-catalysed porcine placenta hydrolysate (PPH) with a 30% degree of hydrolysis was fractionated using two cycles of ultrafiltration (UF) with molecular weight cut-offs of 100 kDa and 30 kDa to search for novel bioactive peptides. The permeate of the 30 kDa UF (UF4) demonstrated superior radical scavenging activities (DPPH•/ABTS•+), ferric-reducing power, β-carotene bleaching inhibitory activity, nitric oxide scavenging activity, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition and anti-α-amylase/α-glucosidase activity with high antioxidant stability in an in vitro gastrointestinal tract model system. The UF4 fraction was rich in hydrophobic amino acids (e.g. valine, isoleucine, alanine, le..
