The angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors from laver hydrolysate was isolated. Among the 13 kinds of proteases, Maxazyme NNP was most effective for preparing the high ACE inhibitory compound. In extraction conditions of ACE inhibitory peptide from laver hydrolysate, ACE inhibitory activity of hydrolysate treated with diethylether for decolorization and that of $70\%$ ethanol soluble fraction among the different ethanol concentrations were higher than other preparations. Low molecular fraction less than 3,000 dalton of layer hydrolysate separated by ultrafiltration had the highest ACE inhibitory activity, for further separation of ACE inhibitory peptide from laver hydrolysate, gel filtration chromatography (Sephadex G-25), reverse-phase HPLC (ODS & Vydac C-18) and gel permeation chromatography (Superdex Peptide HR) were performed. The molecular mass of the ACE inhibitory peptide fractions of gel permeation chromatography determined by electrospray-mass spectrometer were 413.48 (S1O2V2V1P),346.86 (S1O2V2V2P) and 320.32 (S2O6V3V1P) dalton and their amino acid sequence were Val-Gln-Gly-Asn, Thr-Glu-Thr and Phe-Arg, respectively.

Angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory peptides lowering blood pressure were fractionated from a commercial soybean paste(Doenjang). When the freeze-dried sample of soybean paste was extracted with cold water, the recovery yield of total nitrogen(TN) was shown to be 73.3% in 30 minutes. The cold water extract was filtered through PM-10 membrane(Amicon) for 3 hours in order to remove high molecular weight polypeptides. The TN and salt of ultrafiltrate were recovered to 80.8% and 99.2%, respectively, and its ACE $IC_{50}$ was $41.8{\mu}g/ml$. When the ultrafiltrate was divided into 7 fractions by reverse phase prep-HPLC, F5 fraction showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}=6.8{\mu}g/ml$) and salt could be collected into F1 fraction. Subsequently, the F5 fraction was divided into another five fractions by ion exchange prep-HPLC, all of which appeared to be high ACE inhibitory activity($IC_{50}=2.5{\sim}8.3{\mu}g/ml$). Among them, F53 fraction had the highest ACE inhibitory activity, and its main amino acid component was found to be histidine.

The study was performed for elucidating angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity and comparing antioxidative activity of Panax ginseng extracts prepared at different conditions. Total phenolic content, inhibitory activity on ACE and antioxidative effects were tested on 10 ethanolic extracts and correlation coefficient between total phenolic content and physiological activity was calculated. Yield and total phenolic content of 50% ethanolic extract prepared at $85^{\circ}C$ exhibited the highest value as 42.52% and 0.82%, respectively. Among the fractions obtained from 50% ethanolic extract prepared at room temperature, water fraction showed the highest value in yield as 72.08% and ethyl acetate fraction did in total phenolic content as 6.59%. In the test on ACE inhibitory activity, 50% ethanolic extract obtained at room temperature indicated the strongest effect of 93.8% which was higher than 85.2% of commercialized ACE inhibitor and solvent fractions showed potent inhibitory activity in order of hexane fraction, diethyl ether fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, butanol fraction and water fraction at concentration of $4000{\mu}g/ml$. 50% Ethanolic extract prepared at $85^{\circ}C$ had the most potent inhibition effect on human LDL oxidation as 78.2% at $200{\mu}g/ml$ and the other extracts also did above 60%. Diethyl ether fraction and ethyl acetate fraction showed strong inhibition activity $(34.38%{\sim}78.13%)$ on LDL oxidation at concentration of $10{\sim}200\;{\mu}g/ml$. From the statistical analysis via SAS program, correlation coefficient between total phenolic content and ACE inhibitory effect was 0.6353 at P<0.05. Conclusively, this report showed that the most efficient extraction condition for elevating inhibitory activity on ACE and LDL oxidation, phenolic content and yield from Panax ginseng was 50% ethanol extraction at room temperature or high temperature condition. And Panax ginseng would be used for preventing hypertension or atheroscrelosis for man via inhibitory action on ACE and LDL oxidation.

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.

This study was conducted using response surface methodology (RSM) to elucidate fermentation conditions that will optimize ACE inhibitory activity using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum K79. Four independent variables [skim milk (with 1% added glucose) concentration (6%-14%), incubation temperature (32℃-42℃), incubation time (8-24 h), and amount of added starter (0.02%-0.2%)] were evaluated using five-level central composite design and response surface methodology to determine the optimum fermentation condition. The dependent variables were angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity (the value obtained from 102 diluted supernatant), and pH. The respective coefficients of determinations (R²) were 0.791 and 0.905 for ACE inhibitory activity and pH. The maximum ACE inhibitory activity was 90% under the following conditions: 10% skim milk (with 1% added glucose) concentration, 37℃ incubation temperature, 17.8 h incubation time, and 0.2% added starter. Based on the RSM, using predicted best ACE conditions for fermentation of 13.49% skim milk (with 1% added glucose) with 0.0578% starter at 33.4℃ for 21.5 h, the predicted ACE inhibitory activity and pH values were 86.69% and 4.6, respectively. Actual ACE inhibitory activity and pH values were 85.5% and 4.58, respectively

In this study, we evaluated the bioactivities of methanol extract and its solvent fractions of Sonchus asper (L.) Hill. The EtOAc fraction of S. asper exhibited more strong antioxidant activity than other extracts as evidenced by the strongest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity with a $EC_{50}$ value at $33.55\;{\mu}g/mL$ and reducing power, the total polyphenol (180.71 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid contents (145.86 mg QE/g) of S. asper extract were higher than other extracts. The EtOAc fraction of the S. asper also showed 47.38% mushroom tyrosinase inhibition activity, 56.22% ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibition and 46.58% ${\alpha}$-amylase inhibition ratio at 1 mg/mL. Both methylene chloride and EtOAc fractions of methanol extract of S. asper effectively reduced of the 86.34% and 62.03% angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) activity at 2 mg/mL, respectively. These findings suggest that the EtOAc fraction of the S. asper could be a potential antioxidant in food additive, medicinal, and industry product.

The angiontensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides were separated from beef sarcoplasmic protein extract and their amino acid sequences were identified as GFHI, DFHINQ, FHG, and GLSDGEWQ. The 4 peptides were synthesized in a laboratory and the ACE inhibitory activities of pep tides was measured after 2 months of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ under different pH conditions (6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, and 8.0) and the exposure of different temperatures (70, 80, 90, and $100^{\circ}C$) for 20 min to evaluate industrial use. No significant difference was detected by pH and temperature abuse for 20 min during storage. When the synthetic peptides were digested by pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, the ACE inhibitory activity was not changed. These results indicated that the 4 synthetic peptides with ACE inhibitory activity were pH-stable, heat-stable, and resistant to proteinases in gastro-intestinal tracts. Therefore, those 4 peptides can be used as a source for functional food product with various applications.

This study was conducted to investigate the inhibitory activity of water extracts and its enzymatic hydrolysates from algae against angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE). The 7 kinds of algae were extracted with water at $50^{\circ}C,\;70^{\circ}C$ and $98^{\circ}C$. ACE inhibitory activities of water extracts were the highest at $70^{\circ}C$, and those of ceylon moss, layer, green layer, sea mustard, seaweed fusiforme sea tangle and sea staghorn were $10.9\%,\;9.3\%,\;8.9\%,\;8.2\%,\;7.5\%,\;7.1\%$ and $7.0\%$, respectively. Layer, green laver sea mustard and ceylon moss of high ACE inhibitory activities among the 7 kinds of water extracts were hydrolyzed by maxazyme and papain during 24hrs. ACE inhibitory activity of enzymatic hydrolysates was higher than that of water extracts, and was the highest in enzymatic hydrolysates of laver among the tested samples. In laver hydrolysates by proteases, the highest ACE inhibitory activity and peptide-nitrogen contents were observed at 8 hours hydrolysis and the hydrolysates by maxazyme showed relatively higher activity than those by papain(31.3 and $27.9\%$, respectively). But peptide-nitrogen contents were greater in papain hydrolysates than in maxazyme.

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.
