BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES DERIVED FROM PROTEINS OF THE EGG CLEAR BY ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS.

摘要

Bioactive peptides derived from egg white proteins by enzymatic hydrolysis. The invention consists in the production of egg products containing bioactive peptides from egg white subjected to an enzymatic treatment. Such peptides show angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor activity (ACEI activity) in vitro and / or antihypertensive activity in rats and / or antioxidant activity. These egg products: the complete hydrolysates, the low molecular weight fractions thereof, or their constituent peptides, could be used as therapeutic substances with ACEI activity and / or with antihypertensive activity and / or with antioxidant activity, either as functional food products, food additives or ingredients, or pharmaceuticals, for the treatment and / or prevention of arterial hypertension in all its forms in a human being or in an animal and for the treatment and / or prevention of any disorder associated with arterial hypertension in A human being or an animal.
