Peptide SY is produced by applying a mixture of peptides obtained by processing fish meat with a protease to a peptide-adsorbing resin (ODS resin or the like), eluting this with water, then with a 11 to 18 % v/v ethanol aqueous solution and further with water, and collecting and mixing a latter fraction of the water elution (1), a fraction of the 11 to 18 % v/v ethanol elution and a fraction of the water elution (2). Further, peptide SY-MD is producedby isolating only the fraction of the 11 to 18 % v/v ethanol elution. <??>Peptide SY and peptide SY-MD are both novel peptide mixtures. They not only contain a large amount of blood pressure-depressing peptide Val-Tyr newly found but also have less bitterness and are excellent in taste and safety, and can be used as a blood pressure-depressing agent or as functional foods for inhibiting blood pressure elevation or preventing blood pressure elevation. |
