Purification and identification of antioxidative peptides from loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) protein hydrolysate by consecutive chromatography and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry

摘要

Loach protein was hydrolyzed by papain to obtain antioxidative peptides. The results showed that the loach protein hydrolysate (LPH) could scavenge l,l-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (IC_(50)= 17.0 ±0.54 mg/mL) and hydroxyl radicals (IC_(50) = 2.64 ± 0.29 mg/mL). It could chelate cupric ion and inhibit the lipid peroxidation in a linoleic acid emulsion system. The hydrolysate was isolated and purified by ultrafiltration and consecutive chromatographic methods including ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and a two-step reverse high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The purified antioxidant peptide was identified as Pro-Ser-Tyr-Val (464.2 Da) using RP-HPLC connected on-line to an electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometer. The purified peptide showed a 9.14-fold higher scavenging activity for hydroxyl radical compared with the crude LPH. Therefore, it is possible to produce natural antioxidative peptides from loach protein by enzymatic hydrolysis and purification.
