3 Results and Discussion

31 Screening of Protease for COASM Figure 1(b) showsthat during the different protein hydrolyses of COASMthe ACE inhibition rates all showed a trend of an initialincrease and then decrease with the increasing hydrolysistime 1e ACE inhibitory rate in alkaline protease hy-drolysate was the highest with a maximum of 615 at 25 hhydrolysis time and the DH was also the largest but after35 h of hydrolysis By comparing the DH and corre-sponding hydrolysate of ACE inhibition rate the resultsshowed that the DH was not positively correlated with ACEinhibition rate 1e DH was the third for papain proteasehydrolysate (Figure 1(a)) but this hydrolysate exhibited thelowest ACE inhibition rate (Figure 1(b))1is phenomenonoccurred because the ACE inhibition rate was associatedwith enzyme loci 1e more the ACE inhibitory peptidesare cut down from COASM proteins the higher their ACEinhibition rate Hydrolysates with a high DH does notnecessarily exhibit a high ACE inhibitory activity [2 30]Alkaline protease is a kind of serine enzyme that tends toform the peptide with hydrophobic amino acids at the end[9 31] Furthermore alkaline protease can cut -CO-NHinternal peptide which makes protein converted intopeptides with a smaller molecular weight [7 29] Vasquez-Villanueva et al used alkaline protease to enzymolyze cornprotein and found that the alkaline protease hydrolysatehas a high ACE inhibitory rate [30] Minervini et al se-lected alkaline protease to hydrolyse whey protein andproduce ACE inhibitory peptides 1is selection is due tothe high amount of alkaline protease hydrolysis locuswhich has particularity for selecting hydrophobic aminoacids on the protein carboxyl terminal [12] 1ereforebased on the above data reported and our results shown inFigure 1 our study selected alkaline protease hydrolysatefor further purification

the effect of these factors on the ACE inhibitory peptides ofalkaline protease for COASM protein 1e results are shownin Figure 2

Figures 2(a) and 2(b) show that with the DH and ACEinhibitory rate of COASM hydrolysates initially increasedand then decreased with the increase in the hydrolysistemperature With the increase in the hydrolysis tempera-ture and pH the alkaline protease activity was also graduallyenhanced hence the DH and ACE inhibitory rate increaseduntil reaching the maximum1e continuous increase in thetemperature and pH led to the change in the enzymestructure influenced the combination of the substrategradually inactivated the enzyme and reduced the DH andACE inhibition rate

According to Figures 2(c) and 2(d) with the increasinghydrolysis time and alkaline protease amount the DH ofCOASM hydrolysates gradually increased whereas the ACEinhibition rate initially increased and then decreased 1eseresults confirmed that the DH and ACE inhibition rate werenot necessarily related Figure 2(e) shows that with theincreasing substrate concentration the DH and ACE in-hibitory rate of COASM hydrolysates were all rapidly in-creased at the substrate concentration before 9 and thenwere remained in a stable state

inhibition rate of samples also gradually increased and theIC50 value concentrations gradually reduced 1ese resultssuggest that ultrafiltration allowed to obtain a fraction withmolecular weight peptides lower than 1 kDa exhibitinghigher ACE inhibitory activity Our results are similar tothose of Korhonen et al who used ultrafiltration to separateACE inhibitory peptides from whey protein hydrolysate1ey found that the IC50 value is the minimum for thepeptide in 1 kDa membrane ultrafiltration [20] Our labo-ratory also demonstrates that the cashew nut peptidesexhibiting ACE inhibitory activity had molecular weightlower than 3000Da [22] 1e above results also verified the

conclusion that ACE inhibitory peptides are mainly com-posed of peptides below 1 kDa

36 COASM Peptide Purified by Gel ChromatographyFigure 4 shows the peptide profile of hydrolysate solutionswith three different concentrations 1e separation effect foreach peak was ineffective for 10mgmL concentrationGiven the low and diluted concentration of the sample theseparation effect between the components was not idealWhen the sample concentration was 25mgmL the sepa-ration of the three peaks became apparent and it was moreeffective

When the sample concentration was increased to 50mgmL the chromatographic column separation effect wassignificantly reduced Samples were continuously dilutedduring gel chromatography separationWhen the separationefficiency is affected the sample concentration should beincreased as soon as possible However the viscosity ofsamples was also increased when the sample concentrationwas extremely high which would affect the flow of com-ponents in the gel and finally reduce the resolution of the gelchromatography 1erefore 25mgmL was selected as thebest sample concentration

Peaks I II and III from the 25mgmL COASM peptideafter Sephadex G-15 separation were collected and freeze-dried and then their IC50 value concentrations were de-termined 1e results were in the following order I(0145mgmL)lt II (0202mgmL)lt III (0213mgmL) 1eIC50 value concentration of peak I was lower than those ofthe other two components which might be because peak Icontains free amino acids Je et al used gel chromatographyto purify ACE inhibitory peptides from Alaska pollock(=eragra chalcogramma) frame protein hydrolysate theIC50 value reached 0066mgmL [18] 1erefore peak I wascollected as the subsequent test samples after freeze drying

3 Results and Discussion

31 Screening of Protease for COASM Figure 1(b) showsthat during the different protein hydrolyses of COASMthe ACE inhibition rates all showed a trend of an initialincrease and then decrease with the increasing hydrolysistime 1e ACE inhibitory rate in alkaline protease hy-drolysate was the highest with a maximum of 615 at 25 hhydrolysis time and the DH was also the largest but after35 h of hydrolysis By comparing the DH and corre-sponding hydrolysate of ACE inhibition rate the resultsshowed that the DH was not positively correlated with ACEinhibition rate 1e DH was the third for papain proteasehydrolysate (Figure 1(a)) but this hydrolysate exhibited thelowest ACE inhibition rate (Figure 1(b))1is phenomenonoccurred because the ACE inhibition rate was associatedwith enzyme loci 1e more the ACE inhibitory peptidesare cut down from COASM proteins the higher their ACEinhibition rate Hydrolysates with a high DH does notnecessarily exhibit a high ACE inhibitory activity [2 30]Alkaline protease is a kind of serine enzyme that tends toform the peptide with hydrophobic amino acids at the end[9 31] Furthermore alkaline protease can cut -CO-NHinternal peptide which makes protein converted intopeptides with a smaller molecular weight [7 29] Vasquez-Villanueva et al used alkaline protease to enzymolyze cornprotein and found that the alkaline protease hydrolysatehas a high ACE inhibitory rate [30] Minervini et al se-lected alkaline protease to hydrolyse whey protein andproduce ACE inhibitory peptides 1is selection is due tothe high amount of alkaline protease hydrolysis locuswhich has particularity for selecting hydrophobic aminoacids on the protein carboxyl terminal [12] 1ereforebased on the above data reported and our results shown inFigure 1 our study selected alkaline protease hydrolysatefor further purification

32 Various Factors on Preparation of ACE InhibitoryPeptides by Alkaline Protease Hydrolysis COASM Proteins1e basis of parameters for alkaline protease hydrolysissolution was set as follows COASM protein concentrationwas 9 the ratio of the enzyme and substrate (E S) was 5and pH was 950 and hydrolysed at 55degC for 3 h A single-factor experiment was used to study the temperature (40degC45degC 50degC 55degC and 60degC) pH (85 90 95 10 and 105)adding amounts of ES (4 5 6 7 and 8) COASMprotein concentrations (3 5 7 9 and 11) andhydrolysis time (15 20 25 30 35 and 40 h) which verify

the effect of these factors on the ACE inhibitory peptides ofalkaline protease for COASM protein 1e results are shownin Figure 2

Figures 2(a) and 2(b) show that with the DH and ACEinhibitory rate of COASM hydrolysates initially increasedand then decreased with the increase in the hydrolysistemperature With the increase in the hydrolysis tempera-ture and pH the alkaline protease activity was also graduallyenhanced hence the DH and ACE inhibitory rate increaseduntil reaching the maximum1e continuous increase in thetemperature and pH led to the change in the enzymestructure influenced the combination of the substrategradually inactivated the enzyme and reduced the DH andACE inhibition rate

According to Figures 2(c) and 2(d) with the increasinghydrolysis time and alkaline protease amount the DH ofCOASM hydrolysates gradually increased whereas the ACEinhibition rate initially increased and then decreased 1eseresults confirmed that the DH and ACE inhibition rate werenot necessarily related Figure 2(e) shows that with theincreasing substrate concentration the DH and ACE in-hibitory rate of COASM hydrolysates were all rapidly in-creased at the substrate concentration before 9 and thenwere remained in a stable state

inhibition rate of samples also gradually increased and theIC50 value concentrations gradually reduced 1ese resultssuggest that ultrafiltration allowed to obtain a fraction withmolecular weight peptides lower than 1 kDa exhibitinghigher ACE inhibitory activity Our results are similar tothose of Korhonen et al who used ultrafiltration to separateACE inhibitory peptides from whey protein hydrolysate1ey found that the IC50 value is the minimum for thepeptide in 1 kDa membrane ultrafiltration [20] Our labo-ratory also demonstrates that the cashew nut peptidesexhibiting ACE inhibitory activity had molecular weightlower than 3000Da [22] 1e above results also verified the

conclusion that ACE inhibitory peptides are mainly com-posed of peptides below 1 kDa

36 COASM Peptide Purified by Gel ChromatographyFigure 4 shows the peptide profile of hydrolysate solutionswith three different concentrations 1e separation effect foreach peak was ineffective for 10mgmL concentrationGiven the low and diluted concentration of the sample theseparation effect between the components was not idealWhen the sample concentration was 25mgmL the sepa-ration of the three peaks became apparent and it was moreeffective

When the sample concentration was increased to 50mgmL the chromatographic column separation effect wassignificantly reduced Samples were continuously dilutedduring gel chromatography separationWhen the separationefficiency is affected the sample concentration should beincreased as soon as possible However the viscosity ofsamples was also increased when the sample concentrationwas extremely high which would affect the flow of com-ponents in the gel and finally reduce the resolution of the gelchromatography 1erefore 25mgmL was selected as thebest sample concentration

Peaks I II and III from the 25mgmL COASM peptideafter Sephadex G-15 separation were collected and freeze-dried and then their IC50 value concentrations were de-termined 1e results were in the following order I(0145mgmL)lt II (0202mgmL)lt III (0213mgmL) 1eIC50 value concentration of peak I was lower than those ofthe other two components which might be because peak Icontains free amino acids Je et al used gel chromatographyto purify ACE inhibitory peptides from Alaska pollock(=eragra chalcogramma) frame protein hydrolysate theIC50 value reached 0066mgmL [18] 1erefore peak I wascollected as the subsequent test samples after freeze drying

3 Results and Discussion

31 Screening of Protease for COASM Figure 1(b) showsthat during the different protein hydrolyses of COASMthe ACE inhibition rates all showed a trend of an initialincrease and then decrease with the increasing hydrolysistime 1e ACE inhibitory rate in alkaline protease hy-drolysate was the highest with a maximum of 615 at 25 hhydrolysis time and the DH was also the largest but after35 h of hydrolysis By comparing the DH and corre-sponding hydrolysate of ACE inhibition rate the resultsshowed that the DH was not positively correlated with ACEinhibition rate 1e DH was the third for papain proteasehydrolysate (Figure 1(a)) but this hydrolysate exhibited thelowest ACE inhibition rate (Figure 1(b))1is phenomenonoccurred because the ACE inhibition rate was associatedwith enzyme loci 1e more the ACE inhibitory peptidesare cut down from COASM proteins the higher their ACEinhibition rate Hydrolysates with a high DH does notnecessarily exhibit a high ACE inhibitory activity [2 30]Alkaline protease is a kind of serine enzyme that tends toform the peptide with hydrophobic amino acids at the end[9 31] Furthermore alkaline protease can cut -CO-NHinternal peptide which makes protein converted intopeptides with a smaller molecular weight [7 29] Vasquez-Villanueva et al used alkaline protease to enzymolyze cornprotein and found that the alkaline protease hydrolysatehas a high ACE inhibitory rate [30] Minervini et al se-lected alkaline protease to hydrolyse whey protein andproduce ACE inhibitory peptides 1is selection is due tothe high amount of alkaline protease hydrolysis locuswhich has particularity for selecting hydrophobic aminoacids on the protein carboxyl terminal [12] 1ereforebased on the above data reported and our results shown inFigure 1 our study selected alkaline protease hydrolysatefor further purification

32 Various Factors on Preparation of ACE InhibitoryPeptides by Alkaline Protease Hydrolysis COASM Proteins1e basis of parameters for alkaline protease hydrolysissolution was set as follows COASM protein concentrationwas 9 the ratio of the enzyme and substrate (E S) was 5and pH was 950 and hydrolysed at 55degC for 3 h A single-factor experiment was used to study the temperature (40degC45degC 50degC 55degC and 60degC) pH (85 90 95 10 and 105)adding amounts of ES (4 5 6 7 and 8) COASMprotein concentrations (3 5 7 9 and 11) andhydrolysis time (15 20 25 30 35 and 40 h) which verify

the effect of these factors on the ACE inhibitory peptides ofalkaline protease for COASM protein 1e results are shownin Figure 2

Figures 2(a) and 2(b) show that with the DH and ACEinhibitory rate of COASM hydrolysates initially increasedand then decreased with the increase in the hydrolysistemperature With the increase in the hydrolysis tempera-ture and pH the alkaline protease activity was also graduallyenhanced hence the DH and ACE inhibitory rate increaseduntil reaching the maximum1e continuous increase in thetemperature and pH led to the change in the enzymestructure influenced the combination of the substrategradually inactivated the enzyme and reduced the DH andACE inhibition rate

According to Figures 2(c) and 2(d) with the increasinghydrolysis time and alkaline protease amount the DH ofCOASM hydrolysates gradually increased whereas the ACEinhibition rate initially increased and then decreased 1eseresults confirmed that the DH and ACE inhibition rate werenot necessarily related Figure 2(e) shows that with theincreasing substrate concentration the DH and ACE in-hibitory rate of COASM hydrolysates were all rapidly in-creased at the substrate concentration before 9 and thenwere remained in a stable state

inhibition rate of samples also gradually increased and theIC50 value concentrations gradually reduced 1ese resultssuggest that ultrafiltration allowed to obtain a fraction withmolecular weight peptides lower than 1 kDa exhibitinghigher ACE inhibitory activity Our results are similar tothose of Korhonen et al who used ultrafiltration to separateACE inhibitory peptides from whey protein hydrolysate1ey found that the IC50 value is the minimum for thepeptide in 1 kDa membrane ultrafiltration [20] Our labo-ratory also demonstrates that the cashew nut peptidesexhibiting ACE inhibitory activity had molecular weightlower than 3000Da [22] 1e above results also verified the

conclusion that ACE inhibitory peptides are mainly com-posed of peptides below 1 kDa

36 COASM Peptide Purified by Gel ChromatographyFigure 4 shows the peptide profile of hydrolysate solutionswith three different concentrations 1e separation effect foreach peak was ineffective for 10mgmL concentrationGiven the low and diluted concentration of the sample theseparation effect between the components was not idealWhen the sample concentration was 25mgmL the sepa-ration of the three peaks became apparent and it was moreeffective

When the sample concentration was increased to 50mgmL the chromatographic column separation effect wassignificantly reduced Samples were continuously dilutedduring gel chromatography separationWhen the separationefficiency is affected the sample concentration should beincreased as soon as possible However the viscosity ofsamples was also increased when the sample concentrationwas extremely high which would affect the flow of com-ponents in the gel and finally reduce the resolution of the gelchromatography 1erefore 25mgmL was selected as thebest sample concentration

Peaks I II and III from the 25mgmL COASM peptideafter Sephadex G-15 separation were collected and freeze-dried and then their IC50 value concentrations were de-termined 1e results were in the following order I(0145mgmL)lt II (0202mgmL)lt III (0213mgmL) 1eIC50 value concentration of peak I was lower than those ofthe other two components which might be because peak Icontains free amino acids Je et al used gel chromatographyto purify ACE inhibitory peptides from Alaska pollock(=eragra chalcogramma) frame protein hydrolysate theIC50 value reached 0066mgmL [18] 1erefore peak I wascollected as the subsequent test samples after freeze drying

inhibition rate of samples also gradually increased and theIC50 value concentrations gradually reduced 1ese resultssuggest that ultrafiltration allowed to obtain a fraction withmolecular weight peptides lower than 1 kDa exhibitinghigher ACE inhibitory activity Our results are similar tothose of Korhonen et al who used ultrafiltration to separateACE inhibitory peptides from whey protein hydrolysate1ey found that the IC50 value is the minimum for thepeptide in 1 kDa membrane ultrafiltration [20] Our labo-ratory also demonstrates that the cashew nut peptidesexhibiting ACE inhibitory activity had molecular weightlower than 3000Da [22] 1e above results also verified the

conclusion that ACE inhibitory peptides are mainly com-posed of peptides below 1 kDa

When the sample concentration was increased to 50mgmL the chromatographic column separation effect wassignificantly reduced Samples were continuously dilutedduring gel chromatography separationWhen the separationefficiency is affected the sample concentration should beincreased as soon as possible However the viscosity ofsamples was also increased when the sample concentrationwas extremely high which would affect the flow of com-ponents in the gel and finally reduce the resolution of the gelchromatography 1erefore 25mgmL was selected as thebest sample concentration

Peaks I II and III from the 25mgmL COASM peptideafter Sephadex G-15 separation were collected and freeze-dried and then their IC50 value concentrations were de-termined 1e results were in the following order I(0145mgmL)lt II (0202mgmL)lt III (0213mgmL) 1eIC50 value concentration of peak I was lower than those ofthe other two components which might be because peak Icontains free amino acids Je et al used gel chromatographyto purify ACE inhibitory peptides from Alaska pollock(=eragra chalcogramma) frame protein hydrolysate theIC50 value reached 0066mgmL [18] 1erefore peak I wascollected as the subsequent test samples after freeze drying

inhibition rate of samples also gradually increased and theIC50 value concentrations gradually reduced 1ese resultssuggest that ultrafiltration allowed to obtain a fraction withmolecular weight peptides lower than 1 kDa exhibitinghigher ACE inhibitory activity Our results are similar tothose of Korhonen et al who used ultrafiltration to separateACE inhibitory peptides from whey protein hydrolysate1ey found that the IC50 value is the minimum for thepeptide in 1 kDa membrane ultrafiltration [20] Our labo-ratory also demonstrates that the cashew nut peptidesexhibiting ACE inhibitory activity had molecular weightlower than 3000Da [22] 1e above results also verified the

conclusion that ACE inhibitory peptides are mainly com-posed of peptides below 1 kDa

36 COASM Peptide Purified by Gel ChromatographyFigure 4 shows the peptide profile of hydrolysate solutionswith three different concentrations 1e separation effect foreach peak was ineffective for 10mgmL concentrationGiven the low and diluted concentration of the sample theseparation effect between the components was not idealWhen the sample concentration was 25mgmL the sepa-ration of the three peaks became apparent and it was moreeffective

When the sample concentration was increased to 50mgmL the chromatographic column separation effect wassignificantly reduced Samples were continuously dilutedduring gel chromatography separationWhen the separationefficiency is affected the sample concentration should beincreased as soon as possible However the viscosity ofsamples was also increased when the sample concentrationwas extremely high which would affect the flow of com-ponents in the gel and finally reduce the resolution of the gelchromatography 1erefore 25mgmL was selected as thebest sample concentration

Peaks I II and III from the 25mgmL COASM peptideafter Sephadex G-15 separation were collected and freeze-dried and then their IC50 value concentrations were de-termined 1e results were in the following order I(0145mgmL)lt II (0202mgmL)lt III (0213mgmL) 1eIC50 value concentration of peak I was lower than those ofthe other two components which might be because peak Icontains free amino acids Je et al used gel chromatographyto purify ACE inhibitory peptides from Alaska pollock(=eragra chalcogramma) frame protein hydrolysate theIC50 value reached 0066mgmL [18] 1erefore peak I wascollected as the subsequent test samples after freeze drying

rate component (molecular weight was less than 1000Da)from squid skin collagen with the hydrophobic amino acidcontent of up to 546 [31] Table 3 also indicates that peak Ihad high glycine alanine leucine and valine contentsSeveral studies have found that the ACE inhibitory peptidesfrom sea stings sea cucumbers and shrimps contain glu-tamic acid glycine alanine and leucine [29 31]

4 Conclusions

DH was not positively correlated with the ACE inhibitionrate in COASM protein hydrolysates After conducting theresponse surface method to optimize the hydrolytic processalkaline protease enzymolysis of COASM protein was foundto exhibit the highest ACE inhibitory rate 1e molecularweight of the ACE inhibitory peptide was less than 1 kDaafter ultrafiltration 1e components of ACE inhibitorypeptides in COASM protein could be separated by SephadexG-15 Component I had the strongest inhibitory rate thatreached 7924 and its IC50 was 0678mgmL RP-HPLCcan be used to prepare ACE inhibitory peptides fromCOASM Purity analysis of the single component revealedthat the separated component I has high alanine glutamicacid glycine and leucine contents
