Sumario: | Sericin, a byproduct of the silk industry, is an underutilized protein derived from the yellow silk cocoon. This research aimed to produce and characterize the bioactive peptides from sericin using various enzymatic hydrolysis methods. Alcalase, papain, neutrase, and protease were tested under their respective digestion conditions. Among the enzymes tested, neutrase-catalyzed sericin into specific peptides with the strongest dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory properties. The peptides were subjected to a simulated in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) digestion in order to determine their stability. The GI peptides that were produced by neutrase hydrolysis continued to have the highest DPP-IV and ACE inhibitory activities. The neutrase -digested peptides were then fractionated via ultrafiltration; the peptide fraction with a molecular weight <3 kDa (UF3) inhibited DPP-IV and ACE activities. After being subjected to in vitro blood plasma hydrolysis, the UF3 was slightly degraded but retained its bioactivity. As a result of these findings, sericin peptides can be utilized as novel dietary ingredients that may alleviate some metabolic syndromes via the dual inhibitory properties of DPP-IV and ACE. |
