The aim of this study was identifying a suitable food grade enzymes to hydrolyze whey protein concentrates (WPCs), to give the highest bioactivity. WPCs from ultrafiltration retentate were adjusted to 35% protein (WPC-35) and hydrolyzed by enzymes, alcalase, ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$, pepsin, protease M, protease S, and trypsin at different hydrolysis times (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 h). These 36 types of hydrolysates were analyzed for their prominent peptides ${\beta}-lactoglobulin$ (${\beta}-Lg$) and ${\alpha}-lactalbumin$ (${\alpha}-La$), to identify the proteolytic activity of each enzyme. Protease S showed the highest proteolytic activity and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity of IC50, 0.099 mg/mL (91.55%) while trypsin showed the weakest effect. Antihypertensive and antioxidative peptides associated with ${\beta}-Lg$ hydrolysates were identified in WPC-35 hydrolysates (WPH-35) that hydrolyzed by the enzymes, trypsin and protease S. WPH-35 treated with protease S in 0.5 h, responded positively to usage as a bioactive component in different applications of pharmaceutical or related industries.

This study aimed to determine the degree of hydrolysis and angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity of Giant Jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai (jellyfish) hydrolysates. The degree of hydrolysis using six proteolytic enzymes (Alcalase, Flavozyme, Neutrase, papain, Protamex, and trypsin) ranged from 13.1-36.8% and the inhibitory activities from 20.46-79.58%. Using papain hydrolysate, we newly isolated and characterized ACE-inhibitory peptides with a molecular weight of 3,000-5,000 Da that originated from jellyfish collagen. The purified peptide (FII-b) was predicted to be produced from an alpha-2 fragment of the type IV collagen of jellyfish. The N-terminal sequence of FII-b was Asp-Pro-Gly-Leu-Glu-Gly-Ala-His-Gly- and showed 87% identity to the collagen type IV alpha-2 fragment of Rattus norvegicus and a predicted protein from Nematostella vectensis, indicating that the ACE-inhibitory peptide originated from the collagen hydrolysate and had an $IC_{50}$ value of 3.8 ${\mu}g$/mL. The primary structure of the fragment is now being studied; this peptide represents an interesting new type of ACE inhibitor and will provide knowledge of the potential applications of jellyfish components as therapies for hypertension.

To develop a functional strawberry Makgeolli, we produced Makgeolli using strawberry as an additive and then investigated its physicochemical properties. Among 7 different alcohol-fermenting yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae JSK104 produced 17.4% ethanol on the 7th day of fermentation and was selected for use in the brewing of strawberry Makgeolli. Changes in physicochemical properties, numbers of yeast and lactic acid bacteria, and antihypertensive angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity were investigated during the fermentation of strawberry Makgeolli. The pH tended to decrease and the total acidity increased as the fermentation period elapsed. The ethanol content reached about 17% on the 7th day after fermentation, and the numbers of yeast and lactic acid bacteria reached a maximum on the 1st day of fermentation and then maintained a constant number. The antihypertensive angiotensin-converting enzyme activity reached a maximum after 5 days of fermentation and then was not significantly changed afterwards.

This study aimed to compare the quality characteristics of carrot juice based on different extraction methods such as centrifugation, single gear, and twin gear methods. Juice quality was evaluated based on extraction yield, nutritional components, and cloud stability. Twin gear extraction resulted in the highest extraction yield, and the highest mineral content. In addtion, ${\beta}$-carotene level higher than the recommended daily intake was obtained only in the carrot juice prepared using twin gear extraction of 100 g carrots. The minimum particle size was observed in twin gear extraction, followed by single gear extraction and centrifugation method. Therefore, twin gear extraction was selected as the optimal method, and changes in the antioxidant and metabolic activity of carrot juice were investigated using this method. Consequently, the carrot juice showed a higher lipid peroxidation inhibition rate than ${\alpha}$-tocopherol (1 mg/mL), and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity was increased upon digestion.

For development of premium sauce, fermented sauces containing ferment (with wheat flour and soybean) and extract(s) of Styela clava (Korean name: miduduk) tunic and/or mulberry leaves and/or onion were prepared, and their angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities were evaluated. All sauces containing extract(s) showed increased ACE inhibitory and DPPH radical scavenging activities. Especially, sauces containing extracts of mulberry leaves and onion showed superior activities, with 26.92% and 40.66% relatively increased ACE inhibitory and DPPH radical scavenging activities, respectively, compared to control (no extract was added). These results suggest that extracts of mulberry leaves and onion could improve antihypertensive and antioxidant activities of fermented sauce.
