This studies were conducted to select optimal enzyme that produced hydrolysate from soybean, and to evaluated functionality of hydrolysate. Soybean powder was suspended with water and hydrolyzed by seven commercial proteases. Hydrolysate produced with protease from Bacillus subtilis showed the highest inhibition effect on the activity of angiotension converting enzyme(ACE), and the condition of enzymatic hydrolysis was 5cA substrate concentration, 0. l% enzyme concentration, 4 hour hydrolysis time. Under above optimum condition, soybean was hydrolyzed with protease from Bacillus subtilis yielding a DH (degree of hydrolysis) of about 49%. Hyrophobicity of hydrolysate was not correlated with the inhibition effect on ACE activity. The functionality of hydrolysate was significantly influenced by pH. Solubility of hydrolysate at alkali solution was greater than that at acidic solution.

Normally, aerobic cells are protected from the damage of free radicals by antioxidative enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) peroxidase and GSH-S-transferase. In this study, we have investigate the effect of egg yolk protein hydrolysates on antioxidative activity and the activity of antioxidative enzyme in cultured hepatocytes (Chang). Without the pretreatment with hydrolysate, about 50% of the hepatocytes were killed within 2h by 225$\mu$M tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). By contrast, fewer than 20% of the 5 K hydrolysate (permeate from 5 kDa membrane and not passed through 1 kDa membrane)-pretreated hepatocytes were killed by the same concentrations of t-BHP. In addition, the activities of catalase, GSH peroxidase and GSH-transferase were significantly increasing with the treatment of 5 K hydrolysate. These results suggest that 5 K hydrolysate exerts antioxidative effect by increasing activity of antioxidative enzymes.

The indigestible dextrin with high indigestible fraction was prepared by treating the enzyme hydrolysate of pyrodextrin with ethanol or strongly acidic cation exchange resin(UBK 530). Optimum conditions of ethanol treatment for preparing the indigestible dextrin from $\alpha-amylase$ and amyloglucosidase treated hydrolysate were determined based on the indigestible fraction, dietary fiber content, and yield. Ethanol was added 5-fold by weight to 30%(w/w) enzyme hydrolysate, and the mixture was kept at room temperature for 3 hr. Low molecular weight saccharides containing glucose and high molecular weight saccharides were separated by strongly acidic cation exchange resin. While initial enzyme hydrolysate by $\alpha-amylase$ and amyloglucosidase showed 43.6% of DPI(glucose) and 51.1% of DP4+(maltotetraose and over), the indigestible dextrin collected to 50% of initial enzyme hydrolysate by treatment of cation exchange resin showed 7.1% of DPI(glucose) and 91.2% of DP4+(maltotetraose and over). In conclusion, 44.5% of indigestible fraction of initial enzyme hydrolysate increased to 78.9% after separation of low molecular weight saccharides.

ACE (Angiotensin-I converting enzyme) inhibitory peptides derived from foods are thought to suppress high blood pressure by inhibiting ACE. We tried to make efficient production of the ACE inhibitory hydrolysate from egg albumen. A hydrolysate digested by neutrase presented the highest ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_50\;value=256.35{\mu}g/ml$) and the proper proteolysis was occurred by 1.0% enzyme addition and 4 h incubation at $47^{\circ}C$. Antihypertensive effect of neutrase hydrolysate was investigated in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR, n=5). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was decrease by 6.88% (-14.14 mmHg, p<0.05) at 3 h after oral administration of 300 mg/kg body weight, and by 13.33% (-27.72 mmHg, p<0.05) by emulsified hydrolysate. These results showed that it is very effective to utilize egg albumen as a protein source for the production of ACE inhibitory peptides. However, further studies are required to investigate the methods to increase recovery yield and the isolation of active peptide is necessary for determining its sequence responsible for ACE inhibitory activity.

We investigated the antioxidant and angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of red snow crab Chionoecetes japonicas shell (RSCS) hydrolysate by enzymatic hydrolysis and its molecular weight cut-off fractions. The RSCS hydrolysate was fractionated through two ultrafiltration membranes of 3 and 10 kDa cut-offs. Three fractions (<3 kDa, 3-10 kDa, and >10 kDa) were evaluated for total amino acid composition, antioxidant activities using 2'-azino-bis[3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid] ($ABTS^+$) radical scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activities and reducing power assays, and ACE inhibitory activity using Hou's method. Although all fractions showed activity, the <3 kDa fraction of RSCS hydrolysate exhibited the greatest $ABTS^+$ radical scavenging, SOD-like and ACE inhibitory activities. However, these fractions exhibited low reducing power. These results suggest that the low-molecular-weight enzymatic hydrolysate of RSCS could be used as a functional ingredient to control oxidative stress and ACE activity.

In order to utilize marine processing waste which would normally be discarded, cod liver protein was hydrolysed by ${\alpha}$-chymotrysin, and the hydrolysate was investigated for the new angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Thy hydrolysate was separated into three major types, with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) values less than 10 kDa, 5 kDa and 1 kDa of ultrafiltration membranes, respectively. ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated from the fractions passed through MWCO 1 kDa membrane, and purified by using ion-exchange chromatography on a SP-Sephadex C-25 column, gel filtration on a Sephadex G-15 column, and HPLC on an ODS column. The purity was identified with capillary electrophoresis. The amino acid sequences of two peptides were Met-Ile-Pro-Pro-Tyr-Tyr (IC50=10.9 ${\mu}$M) and Gly-Leu-Arg-Asn-Gly-Ile (IC50=35.0 ${\mu}$M)

Squid is one of the most important commercial fishes in the world and is mainly utilized or consumed as sliced raw fish or as processed products. The biofunctional activities of enzymatic squid meat hydrolysate were determined to develop value-added products. Enzymatic squid hydrolysate manufactured by Alcalase effectively quenched 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide radical with $IC_{50}$ values of 311, 3,410, and $111.5{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity of squid hydrolysate was strong with an $IC_{50}$ value of $145.1{\mu}g/mL$, while tyrosinase inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of 4.72 mg/mL was moderately low. Overall, squid meat hydrolysate can be used in food or cosmetic industries as a bioactive ingredient and possibly be used in the manufacture of seasoning, bread, noodle, or cosmetics.

The purpose of this study was the purification and characterization of an angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide purified from enzymatic hydrolysates of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss muscle. After removal of lipid, the approximate composition analysis of the rainbow trout revealed 24.4%, 1.7%, and 68.3% for protein, lipid, and moisture, respectively. Among six hydrolysates, the peptic hydrolysate exhibited the highest ACE inhibitory activity. We attempted to purify ACE inhibitory peptides from peptic hydrolysate using high performance liquid chromatography on an ODS column. The $IC_{50}$ value of purified ACE inhibitory peptide was $63.9{\mu}M$. The amino acid sequence of the peptide was identified as Lys-Val-Asn-Gly-Pro-Ala-Met-Ser-Pro-Asn-Ala-Asn, with a molecular weight of 1,220 Da, and the Lineweaver-Burk plots suggested that they act as a competitive inhibitor against ACE. Our study suggested that novel ACE inhibitory peptides purified from rainbow trout muscle protein may be beneficial as anti-hypertension compounds in functional foods.

The optimal condition for hydrolysis of oyster was evaluated with proteases using response surface methodology(RSM). Among 11 commerical proteases, APLTM 440 was selected as the suitable protease for producing oyster hydrolysate on the basis of cost per unit enzyme activity. The effect of autolysis on degree of hydrolysis in oyster was negligible comparing to that of APL 440 protease treatment. From RSM and ridge analysis, the conditions favoring the highest degree of hydrolysis were pH 9.95, 61.1$^{\circ}C$, 2.64 hr reaction time, 49.2% substrate, and 0.35% enzyme/substrate ratio. Oyster hydrolysate prepared under optimal conditions shwoed virtually 51.98% of hydrolysis.
