Identification of potential ACE-inhibitory peptides from dromedary fermented camel milk

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Camel milk is a good nutritional source for people living in the arid and urban areas. This study aim to identify ACE-inhibitory peptides from dromedary camel milk produced using Lactobacillus helveticus or Lactobacillus acidophilus. Ten ACE-inhibitory peptides were identified using HPLC-MALDI-TOF MS. L. helveticus strain was found superior in respect to production of ACE-inhibitory peptides, compared with L. acidophilus due to having high proteolytic activity. However, all identified amino acid sequences were corresponding to β-casein of camel milk (Camelus dromedarius). Furthermore, molecular mass of identified peptides were below 1200 Da. Some ACE-inhibitory peptides were found to remain stable for up to 15 d of storage.
