Abstract
The production of peptides exhibiting Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity from discarded Mediterranean fish species such as sardine, horse mackerel, axillary seabream, bogue and small-spotted catshark was studied. The evolution of the ACE-inhibitory activity with the degree of hydrolysis (DH) of protein hydrolysates was also investigated. Hydrolysates of horse mackerel and small-spotted catshark, both obtained with the simultaneous addition of subtilisin and trypsin, showed the highest antihypertensive activity (IC50, of 279 and 302 mu g/mL, respectively). For horse mackerel hydrolysate, fraction B (130-2350 Da) exhibited the highest ACE-inhibitory activity (IC50 = 85 mu g/mL). In the case of small-spotted catshark hydrolysate, fraction D (
