Enzymatic protein hydrolysates of milk are used as a component functional foods intended for children, athletes, and senior citizens. They easy to absorb possess hypoallergenic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antimutagenic properties. However, the peptides in their composition have bitter taste, which limits use food industry. Functional often fortified with fat-soluble vitamins other hydrophobic ...

Protein hydrolysates and peptides can show biological activities, pulsed ultrasound improves bioactivities. Among matrices from which protein be obtain, chickpea is an excellent source. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect on globulin concentrate obtain hydrolysate (HGb) peptide fractions their bioactivity. Antioxidant activity by ABTS (2,2′-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline...

Whey proteins have well-established antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactivities. High hydrostatic pressure processing of whey protein isolates increases their in vitro digestibility resulting in enhanced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study compared the effects of different digestion protocols on the digestibility of pressurized (pWPI) and native (nWPI) whey protein isolate...

Intake of antioxidants through diet is known to be important in reducing oxidative damage in cells and improving human health. Although eggs are known for their exceptional, nutritional quality, they are not generally considered as antioxidant foods. This review aims to establish the importance of eggs as an antioxidant food by summarizing the current knowledge on egg-derived antioxidants. Eggs...

Recombinant SPLTI-a [sweet potato leaf trypsin inhibitor-a] overproduced in E. coli (M15) was purified by Ni-chelated affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of SPLTI-a is ca. 8000 Da as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). SPLTI-a was examined using different antioxidative models (Total antioxidant status, reducing power method, Fe-chelating a...

BACKGROUND Cocoa and cocoa-based products contain different compounds with beneficial properties for human health. Polyphenols are the most frequently studied, and display antioxidant properties. Moreover, protein content is a very interesting source of antioxidant bioactive peptides, which can be used therapeutically for the prevention of age-related diseases. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...

For a significant number of couples around the world, male infertility is serious ordeal. The truth that this also major clinical challenge for andrologist – up to 50 % men with have no identifiable etiology and there effective, available evidence-based treatment. long time, antioxidant supplements been used as empiric therapy, but still conclusive evidence fertility live birth rates actually i...

Food protein-derived hydrolysates with multi-bioactivities such as antihypertensive and antioxidant properties have recently received special attention since both activities can play significant roles in preventing cardiovascular diseases. This study reports, for the first time, the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibition and antioxidant properties of ultrafiltrate fractions (UF) with ...
