摘要 |
The invention provides novel peptides having ACE-inhibiting properties derived from milk proteins, as well as their mixtures and their use as hypotensive aids. The peptides have from 2 up to 14 amino acid residues, at least one of which is a branched-chain amino acid. Examples include IV, LV, VLGPV, VPYPQ, VPYPQR, AVP, KIHP, KYKVPQL, FFVAPFPEVFG, VAPFPEVF, MKGLDI, KGLDI, LR, MHIRLS, MHI, IIA, IAEKT, LKALP, ALP and KK. The invention also provides a process of producing the peptide by enzymatic hydrolysis of milk proteins or other proteins. |
