AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The resulting casein hydrolysate exhibits excellent in vivo absorbability and hypotensive effects, allowing for efficient production and use in functional foods and medicines without the need for complex processing steps, with a high yield of active peptides like Xaa-Pro and Xaa-Pro-Pro, demonstrating improved digestion resistance and functional efficacy.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is not known in detail which peptides contribute to enhancement of the in vivo digestion resistance.
However, these enzymatic digestion products of soybean protein have components that are quite different from those of enzymatic digestion products of animal milk casein.

Analysis Example 1

Identification of Enzymes

[0088] Among the extracellular enzymes derived from Aspergillus oryzae used in Example 1, enzymes necessary for obtaining the casein hydrolysate of the present invention were analyzed in the following method. Incidentally, all the following operations were performed at 4° C. unless otherwise specified. The reagents used were all guaranteed reagents manufactured by WAKO PURE CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, LTD. unless otherwise specified.

Impact of Various Inhibitory Agents on Enzymes

[0089] 2000 mg of SUMIZYME FP (registered trademark, manufactured by SHIN NIHON CHEMICAL CO., LTD.) was dissolved in 10 ml of a 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.2, and the insoluble was removed through a cellulose acetate membrane (DISMIC-25cs, pore diameter 0.45 μm, manufactured by ADVANTEC), to obtain a crude enzyme solution.

[0090] This crude enzyme solution was reacted with 1% casein in the same way as in Example 1. When a metalloprotease inhibitor, EDTA (ethylenediami...

Confirmation of ACE Inhibitory Activity of Casein Hydrolysate by Purified Enzyme Combination

[0108] From Analysis Example 1, it was confirmed that the activity to generate ACE inhibitory components of the fractions adsorbed on the anion exchange resin of the extracellular enzyme derived from Aspergillus oryzae (SUMIZYME FP (registered trademark, manufactured by SHIN NIHON CHEMICAL CO., LTD.)) included four enzymatic activities, i.e., the proteinase activities including those of at least neutral proteases I and II, the aminopeptidase activity including that of leucine aminopeptidase, and the activity to cleave the carboxyl terminal at immediately after proline.

[0109] From the adsorbed fractions (see FIG. 3), Fraction I having high proteinase activity (fractions 1 to 35 in FIG. 3), Fraction II having high activity to cleave the carboxyl terminal at immediately after proline (fractions 36 to 55 in FIG. 3), Fraction III thereafter (fractions 56 to 100 in FIG. 3), and non-adsorbed fract...

example 3

[0113] 15 g of casein derived from cow's milk (manufactured by NIPPON NZMP) was added to 85 g of distilled water at about 80° C. and thoroughly mixed. 1N sodium hydroxide solution was added to the mixture to adjust the pH to 7.0. The temperature was adjusted to 20° C. to prepare a substrate solution.

[0114] To the substrate solution thus obtained, SUMIZYME FP (registered trademark, manufactured by SHIN NIHON CHEMICAL CO., LTD.), which is extracellular enzymes derived from Aspergillus oryzae, was added as the group of enzymes so that the enzyme / casein ratio was 1 / 25 by weight. The mixture was reacted at 50° C. for 20 hours, while the reaction liquid was sampled at intervals to evaluate the ACE inhibitory activity and the average chain length against time in the same way as in Example 1. The results are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. The enzyme-digested solution taken after 12 hours of reaction, which exhibited the maximum ACE inhibitory activity, was spray-dried to obtain powders of peptide...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a casein hydrolysate containing free amino acids and in vivo indigestible peptides having minimally suppressed in vivo enzymatic digestibility, and expected to express functions, such as hypotensive effect, in living organism, and to a method for preparing such a hydrolysate, and use thereof. The casein hydrolysate of the present invention contains free amino acids and peptides, such as in vivo indigestible peptides including Xaa-Pro and Xaa-Pro-Pro, obtained by hydrolyzing animal milk casein to have an average chain length of not longer than 2.1 in terms of the number of amino acid residues, and has ACE inhibitory activity or hypotensive effect.

Description

FIELD OF ART [0001] The present invention relates to casein hydrolysate which is obtained by hydrolysis of animal milk casein, is expected to exhibit various functions including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity and hypotensive effect, and is useful for various food and medicine, as well as to a method for preparing such casein hydrolysate, and use thereof. BACKGROUND ART [0002] A variety of peptides have been reported having various functions, such as hypotensive effect, anti-bacterial activity, calcium solubilizing effect, and immunomodulating effect, and these peptides are in use in food and medicine. [0003] For example, hypotensive peptides have been proposed, many of which have angiotensin converting enzyme (abbreviated as ACE hereinbelow) inhibitory activity. ACE converts a precursor, angiotensin I, to angiotensin II having vasoconstrictive activity in living organism, to thereby raise the blood pressure. Thus peptides having ACE inhibitory activity are expecte...
