This invention discloses a turtle
peptide with angiotensin-converting
enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity, its preparation, and its application, belonging to the field of
biotechnology. Using turtle as
raw material, this invention obtains
peptide components with a molecular weight less than 5 kDa through
enzymatic hydrolysis and
ultrafiltration. Sequencing reveals three
peptide sequences with
ACE inhibitory activity: AAGPAGGNLN, EAGAQGPPGA, and GARGDK.
In vitro activity experiments verified the
ACE inhibitory function of the three turtle peptides. The turtle peptide combination prepared by this invention exhibits significant
ACE inhibitory activity and can be used to develop functional foods or antihypertensive drugs. Furthermore, the preparation method is
environmentally friendly, efficient, and suitable for industrial production.
