An anti-aging peptide was prepared from fish collagen hydrolysate (FCH) by ultrafiltration (MWCO; 1 kDa) and reversed-phased high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Its anti-aging properties were evaluated based on the procollagen-synthesizing and MMP-1-inhibiting activities in Hs68 cells. A potent anti-aging peptide (fraction I-I) increased collagen synthesis by 46% and also inhibited MMP-1 secretion by 77%, compared with unpurified FCH. The amino acid sequence of fraction I-I was identified to be Gly-Arg-Arg-Gly-Asn-Lys (GRRGNK; the repeating Gly-X-Y sequence in collagen), and it had a molecular mass of 686.175 Da. It revealed that the anti-aging activity of GRRGNK was mainly due to skin protective effects. These results demonstrated that fish collagen hydrolysate may be a potential source of anti-aging peptides, which could be utilized in various field, including foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

A study was carried out to produce antimicrobial peptides from zein treated with pretenses of six kinds. Among the pretenses of six kinds, zein hydrolysate treated with pepsin showed the highest antimicrobial activity. The zein hydrolysate with pepsin was fractionated with membrane filter (30,000 10,000 and 3,000 molecular weight cut-off) and antimicrobial activity was measured for each fractions. Antimicrobial activity appeared greatly in the fraction below 3,000 (molecular weight cut-off) . The fraction was re-fractionated by HPLC and substances of two peaks collected as a sample to measure antimicrobial activity. All of both peaks showed the antimicrobial activity but 1st peak exhibited a consistently higher antimicrobial activity than 2nd peak. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were between 2.5 and 3.0 mg/mL. The peptide was heat-stable since antimicrobial activity was maintained after treated with heat for 20 min at $121^{\circ}C$. N-terminal amino acid sequence of peptide fractionated by HPLC was leucine, glutamic acid, proline, phenylalanine, aspartic acid and argenine. These results indicated that peptide isolated from zein hydrosate with pepsin can use as a natural preservative ingredient in food industry.

Papain hydrolysate of fibroin was found to be mainly composed of several even-numbered peptides that can be produced at a large scale and can be used as a precursor for biological fine-chemicals such as peptide detergents. Thus, the hydrolysate was further modified to synthesize a peptide mixture of glyceryl esters using the identical enzyme for the production of such chemicals. Formation of glyceryl ester of each peptide was confirmed by identifying peaks of the nominal mass shift of +74 Da in mass spectrometry. Analysis of the mass spectra indicated that glyceryl esters of di- and tetra-peptides were the major constituents of the mixture and that alanylglycine was most preferentially esterified. It also suggests that papain prefers dipeptide to tetrapeptide and alanine to serine or tyrosine at $P_2$ position as substrate for glyceryl esterification. The glyceryl esters were recovered using ion exchange resin and the yield of glyceryl esterification recorded was 17.8% by weight.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was used to demonstrate cross-linking of peptides induced by transglutaminase. The presence of ε-( Υ-glutamyl)lysine isopeptide cross-link in the acid hydrolysate of the cross-linking reaction mixture was also demonstrated by MALDI-TOF-MS without prior separation. MALDI-TOF-MS quickly provided peptide mass maps after pronase digestion of the cross-linked peptide adduct, which enabled us to monitor the hydrolytic sequence. Pronase appears to preferentially hydrolyze peptide bonds distant from the cross-link before hydrolyzing peptide bonds around the cross-link. The results suggest that pronase digestion followed by MALDI-TOF-MS could be used for determination of amino acid sequence around a modification site.

In order to utilize by-products which would normally be discarded in marine processing plants, cod teiset protein was hydrolyzed and antioxidative actiTity of the hydrolysate was investigated. AntioxidatiTe peptide was isolated using ultrafiltration membrane, ion-exchange chromatography on a SP-Sephadex C-25 column, gel filtration on a Sephadex G-15 column, high performance liquid chromatography on an ODS column, and capillary electrophoresis chromatography. Antioxidative activities of the cod teiset hydrolysate were compared with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, one of the commercial antioxidant. The hydrolysate passed through a membrane with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) 1 kDa was shown the strongest antioxidative activity, and the activity was higher $10{\%}$ as compared with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. In addition, the peptide isolated by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and HPLC, respectively, was higher $53{\%}$ as compared with ${\alpha}-tocopherol$, and the amino acid sequence was Ser-Asn-Pro-Glu-Trp-Ser-Trp-Asn.

The peptides inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) were isolated from the hydrolysate of manila clam (Ruditapes philippinamm) proteins prepared with thermolysin. The thermolysin hydrolysate was pretreated with membrane filter (MW cut-off 10,000) to obtain the peptide fraction with ACE inhibition. The crude peptides were applied to a Sephadex LH-20 column and eluted with $30\%$ methanol. The three active fractions (A, B and C) were collected and concentrated, and then applied to a SP-Toyopearl 650S column equilibrated with distilled water and was eluted with a linear gradient of NaCl concentration (0 to 1 M). The four active fractions (A-1, A-2, B-1 and C-1) were collected and concentrated, and then applied to a SuperQ-Toyopearl 650S column equilibrated with distilled water and was eluted with a linear gradient of NaCl concentration (0 to 1 M). The maximum inhibitory activity was observed in the fraction B-1Q showed the IC_{50} values of 0.748 $\mu$g. The abundant amino acids obtained from active fraction B-1Q were leucine, isoleucine, alanine and threonine.

ACE (Angiotensin-I converting enzyme) inhibitory peptides derived from foods are thought to suppress high blood pressure by inhibiting ACE. We tried to make efficient production of the ACE inhibitory hydrolysate from egg albumen. A hydrolysate digested by neutrase presented the highest ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_50\;value=256.35{\mu}g/ml$) and the proper proteolysis was occurred by 1.0% enzyme addition and 4 h incubation at $47^{\circ}C$. Antihypertensive effect of neutrase hydrolysate was investigated in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, n=5). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was decrease by 6.88% (-14.14 mmHg, p<0.05) at 3 h after oral administration of 300 mg/kg body weight, and by 13.33% (-27.72 mmHg, p<0.05) by emulsified hydrolysate. These results showed that it is very effective to utilize egg albumen as a protein source for the production of ACE inhibitory peptides. However, further studies are required to investigate the methods to increase recovery yield and the isolation of active peptide is necessary for determining its sequence responsible for ACE inhibitory activity.

This study investigated the impacts of gelatin hydrolysate addition on the technological properties and lipid oxidation stability of cooked sausage. Gelatin hydrolysate was prepared from pork and duck skin gelatin, through stepwise hydrolysis using collagenase and pepsin. The cooked sausages were formulated without gelatin (control) or with 1% pork skin gelatin, 1% duck skin gelatin, 1% pork skin gelatin hydrolysate, and 1% duck skin gelatin hydrolysate. The pH, color characteristics, protein solubility, cooking loss, and textural properties of cooked sausages were evaluated, and the 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value was measured weekly to determine lipid oxidation stability during 4 wk of refrigerated storage. Enzymatic hydrolysis of gelatin decreased protein content and CIE L* but increased redness and yellowness (p<0.05). When 1% gelatin or gelatin hydrolysate was incorporated in cooked sausage, however, little to no impacts on pH value, moisture content, protein content, color characteristics, protein solubility, and cooking loss were found (p>0.05). The addition of 1% duck skin gelatin hydrolysate increased the cohesiveness and chewiness of cooked sausages. The inclusion of 1% duck skin gelatin accelerated lipid oxidation of cooked sausages during refrigerated storage (p<0.05), whereas duck skin gelatin hydrolysate caused a lower TBARS value in cooked sausage compared to duck skin gelatin. The results show comparable effects of gelatin and gelatin hydrolysate addition on the technological properties of cooked sausages; however, the oxidative stability of raw materials for gelatin extraction should be evaluated clearly in further studies.

We attempted to isolate a collagenase-1 inhibitory peptide from skate Dipturus chilensis skin protein. The protein from skate skin was digested by various enzymes (alcalase, ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, neutrase, papain, pepsin, and trypsin) to produce a collagenase-1 inhibitory peptide. The collagenase-1 inhibitory activity of the peptides obtained was measured by gelatin digestion assay. Among the six hydrolysates, pepsin hydrolysate exhibited the highest collagenase-1 inhibitory activity. The peptide showing strong collagenase-1 inhibitory activity was purified by Sephadex G-25 gel chromatography and HPLC using an octadecylsilyls (ODS) column. The amino acid sequence of purified collagenase-1 inhibitory peptide was identified to be Asn-Leu-Asp-Val -Leu-Glu-Val-Phe (961 Da) by quadrupole time of flight (Q-TOF) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) mass spectroscopy. The $IC_{50}$ value of purified peptide was 87.0 ${\mu}M$. Moreover, the peptide did not exhibit cytotoxic effects on human dermal fibroblast cell lines.

To develop a natural antioxidative peptide, the gelatin was extracted from fish (Yellowfin sole) skin by hot $water(50^{\circ}C)$ extraction method and hydrolyzed with Alcalase, pronase and collagenase through a continuous 3-step membrane reactor. Each step enzymatic hydrolysates were determined the antioxidative activity and their synergistic effects, compared with $\alpha-tocopherol$ and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Also, we tried to investigate the antioxidative disposition of peptide which was successfully separated by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, and HPIC in cultured rat hepatocytes intoxicated with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). Second step enzymatic hydrolysate (SSEH) among all hydrolysates and $\alpha-tocoperol$ was showed the strongest antioxidative activity. The optimum concentration of antioxidative activity for SSEH was $1\%(w/w)$ in linoleic acid. The synergistic effects were increased in using the hydrolysate with tocopherol and BHT. In the presence of the peptide isolated from SSEH, supplemented hepatocytes exposed to TBHP showed that delayed cell killing and decreased significantly the lipid peroxidation, compared with hepatocytes not cultured with isolated peptide.
