<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a new peptide and provide a method for producing the same, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) containing the new peptide as an effective component, a pharmaceutical composition containing the ACE inhibitor and health food or food. <P>SOLUTION: A pentapeptide comprising a specific L-amino acid sequence, the ACE inhibitor containing the peptide comprising the L-amino acid sequence as an effective component, the pharmaceutical composition, the health food and the food containing the ACE inhibitor are provided. The method for producing the peptide has processes to treat microalgae with a protease in an aqueous solution to extract peptides into the aqueous solution, subsequently remove water-insoluble materials in the aqueous solution and fractionate the obtained peptides. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
