The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidative activities of Crab meat analogue prepared with protein hydrolysates obtained from mechanically deboned chicken meat (MDCM) from spent laying hens. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity was increased by adding MDCM hydrolysates during storage, and activity correlated with the concentration of DPPH added up to 6 weeks of storage. Hydroxyl radical-scavenging activity was increased in all analogues containing MDCM hydrolysates. At 0 days of storage, angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity was increased by the addition of MDCM hydrolysates. Activity did not correlate after 6 weeks of storage, in which ACE-inhibitory activity was increased with low concentrations of MDCM hydrolysates, but no ACE-inhibitory activity was observed at higher concentrations. The liver-protecting activity of crab meat analogue was shown to be around 60% of the positive control; however, it was not significantly different among the samples during storage. These results support the use of MDCM as a source of health-promoting constituents in crab meat analogue.

This study was conducted to screen in vitro angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of methanol (MeOH) and aqueous extracts which were prepared by four different extractions-80% methanol extracts(ME) at $20^{\circ}C\;and\;70^{\circ}C$, respectively and aqueous extracts (AE) at both temperatures with the residue of the MEs-of ten marine green algae and nineteen brown algae collected along Jeju coast of Korea. Most marine brown algae extracts showed higher capacities than those of marine green algae in ACE inhibitory activity. Particularly, $70^{\circ}C$ MeOH extract (70ME) of Hizikia fusiforme showed the strongest inhibition activity (about 87%) among all the extracts. Also, 70 MEs of Enteromorpha linza, Ishige sinicola, Laminaria ochotensis, Petrospongium rugosum, Sagrassum horneri, Undaria pinnatifida and $20^{\circ}C$ MeOH extracts (20ME) of Myagropsis myagroides, Petrospongium rugosum, $20^{\circ}C$ aqueous extracts (20AE) of Codium contractum, Enteromorpha compressa, and $70^{\circ}C$ aqueous extracts (70AE) of Ecklonia cava, Petrospongium rugosum showed moderate ACE inhibitory activities more than 50% and the other extracts exhibited weak activities. On tile other hand, E. cava had the best ACE inhibitory activity among 70AEs. This indicates that 70AE of E. cava contains potential anti-ACE macromolecular. We tried to proteolytic digest 70AE of E. cava to induce production of anti-ACE peptides from E. cava 70AE. The enzymes used are five pretenses including Kojizyme, Flavourzyme, Neutrase, Alcalase, and Protamex, which are food grade-commercial enzymes from Novo Co. Flavourzyme-digest of E. cava 70AE showed the highest inhibitory activity about 90%. And the five different enzymatic digests of the E. cava 70AE ranged from 2.33 to 3.56 ${\mu}g/mL$, respectively in $IC_{50}$ values of anti-ACE activity.

Angiotensiri-I converting enzyme(ACE) catalyst the removal of the C-terminal dipeptide from the angiotensin-I to give the angiotensin-II, a potent peptide that causes constriction of regulation of blood pressure. Recently, ACE inhibitor peptides have been isolated from enzymatic digests of food protein. The aim of this study was to identify bovine casein hydrolysates with ACE inhibitory properties in different enzymatic hydrolysis conditions. The casein were hydrolyzed neutrase, alcalase, protamax, flavourzyme, premed 192, sumizyme MP, sumizyme LP and pescalase alone and with an enzyme combination. Premed 192 produced ACE inhibitory peptides most efficiently. In order to ACE inhibitory peptide produced enzymatic hydrolysis condition were premed 192 added to casein ratio of 1:100(w/w), and incubated at 47$\^{C}$ for 12hrs. Casein hydrolysate gave 50% inhibition(IC$\_$50/ value) of ACE activity at concentration with 248ug/ml(general method) and 265ug/ml(pretreatment method) respectively.

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have generally been very useful to remedy or prevent hypertension. This study describes the extraction and characterization of an ACE inhibitor from the fruiting body of Pholiota adiposa ASI 24012, which can be used as an antihypertensive drug. The maximal ACE inhibitory activity $(IC_{50};0.25mg)$ was obtained when the fruiting body of Pholiota adiposa ASI 24012 was extracted with distilled water at $30^{\circ}C$ for 12 h. After the purification of ACE inhibitor with ultrafiltration, Sephadex G-25 column chromatography, and reverse-phase HPLC, an active fraction with an $IC_{50}$ of 0.044 mg was obtained. The purified ACE inhibitory peptide was a novel pentapeptide, showing very little similarity to other ACE inhibitory peptide sequences. The molecular mass of the purified ACE inhibitor was estimated to be 414 daltons with a sequence of Gly-Glu-Gly-Gly-Pro, and showed a clear antihypertensive effect on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) at a dosage of 1 mg/kg.

This study was attempted to isolate and identify the strain revealing high angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity from various soy fermented foods, i.e. meju, soybean paste and soy sauce. Forty-two strains with morphologically different characteristics were selected and the ACE inhibitory and proteolytic activities were examined. Of the strains tested, SS103 which was isolated from soy sauce showed the highest ACE inhibitory and proteolytic activities and was finally selected for further studies. The SS103 strain showed motility, rod form and ellipsoidal spores. The shape of colonies on the agar media was irregular, mucoidal and surface dull. The strain could grow under aerobic conditions of pH 5~9 and 10~$50^{\circ}C$. Main cellular fatty acid was $C_{15:0}$ anteiso, $C_{17:0}$ cis and $C_{17:0}$ iso, which was 33.9%, 18.8% and 16.5%, respectively. Based upon these morphological, biochemical and cultural properties, SS103 was identified as a Bacillus subtilis. Optimum cultural condition of Bacillus subtilis SS103 was pH 8.0, $37^{\circ}C$ and 48 hr.48 hr.

Antiobesity, hypotriglyceridemic and antihypertensive activities of isoflavone-free peptide mixture (black soybean peptide, BSP) were reported in our previous experiments. In the present study, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory (ACEi) activity was decreased in the aorta tissues of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) treated with BSP (1% in drink water) for 4 weeks, but not in serum. BSP administration significantly decreased ACE activity by 17.5% (from $33.2{\pm}4.5$ to $27.4{\pm}1.96$ mUnit/mg, p=0.0013) in aorta tissue hydrolysate. BSP treatment also decreased significantly mean blood pressure (BP) (from $213.0{\pm}16.96$ to $184.0{\pm}6.53$ mmHg, p<0.0001) as expected. These results indicate that BSP has antihypertensive activity as well as ACEi activity.

Elastic fibers are found in the skin, lungs, arteries, veins and other structures. Elastases destroy the elastic fibers and cause the emphysema and pulmonary hypertension. Oxidative stress is needed for these pathologic changes. Accordingly, present study was designed to investigate the effect of Albizziae Cortex extracts (ACE) on elastase activity and anti-oxidative effects of ACE. The in vitro inhibitory effects on elastase and di(phenyl)-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)iminoazanium (DPPH) and nitric oxide (NO) free radical scavenging activities of ACE were measured. The elastase activity was significantly inhibited by ACE. DPPH and NO free radicals were significantly scavenged as well. ACE showed the elastase-inhibiting effects and anti-oxidative activities in vitro. These results suggest that ACE may have potential roles in the treatment of pulmonary emphysema and pulmonary hypertension.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity and production optimization of ovotransferrin hydrolysates were studied. Ovotransferrin was hydrolyzed by several enzymes (protamex, alcalase, trypsin, pepsin, neutrase, and flavorzyme) and acid (0.03 N HCl). Ovotransferrin hydrolysate reduced ACE activity by 60.2%, 55.8%, and 42.6% when treated with trypsin, acid, and pepsin, respectively. Trypsin was selected for production of peptide having maximum AC inhibitory effect, which was greatest with 7 h hydrolysis. Central composite design determined that optimum composition of ACE inhibitory substances using substrate concentration of 20-35%, temperature of $35-55^{\circ}C$, and pH of 6.0-8.0. The optimum composition was 1% trypsin, substrate concentration of 26.32%, $51.29^{\circ}C$, and pH 6.32. Under this conditions, a maximum ACE inhibitory effect of 69.1% was evident, similar to the predicted value.

Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides have functional and potential properties of casein hydrolysates that are used in the development of food ingredients and anti-hypertensive hydrolysates derived from sodium caseinate enzymatic hydrolysates. Sodium caseinate could be treated by various kinds of commercial proteases, and then could be treated with the enzyme combination. Ultrafiltration treatment can be used to generate hydrolysates that can be used to determine ACE inhibitory activity. In general, hydrolysate quality can be evaluated by changes in hydrolysis characteristics, ACE inhibitory activity, as well as functional properties such as solubility, foam capacity, cytotoxicity, free radical-scavenging effects, and sensory evaluation. In this review, we present an overview of the ACE inhibitory peptides obtained by performing enzymatic hydrolysis on various sources to identify food ingredients and functional foods that reduce hypertension.
