Bioactive peptides are examples of such components. In vitro studies on bioactivities have mainly been executed without concerning subsequent digestion after intake and the aim of this work was hence to investigate how the in vitro antioxidative, antihypertensive and caspase activating activities of peptides are affected by digestion with gastrointestinal （GI） proteases. Five different fish protein hydrolysates were chosen to study the effect of in vitro digestion on bioactivity. The protein concentration decreased in all samples during digestion and the molecular weight distribution of the peptides shifted towards lower values. Thus, in vitro digestion with GI proteases resulted in a further degradation of the peptides obtained by hydrolysis. The antihypertensive effect increased in all samples after digestion with GI proteases whereas the antioxidative capacity decreased. The effect on the caspase activity depended on the proteases used in the preparation of hydrolysates. In conclusion, the caspase activity and antihypertensive activity are maintained during digestion with GI proteases, while the antioxidative capacity seems to be reduced.展开更多

Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacylamide gel electrophoresis （SDS-PAGE） showed that the principal proteins of collagen standard types I and II were found among the protein constituents of desalted jellyfish collagen prepared in this study. The amino acid compositions of extracted collagen were typical collagen. The denaturation temperature （Td） of extracted collagen samples was 28-29 ℃. The solubility of all extracted collagens was found up to 4% NaCl. The results indicated that the commercial salting process could partially denature native jellyfish protein functionalities. However, the collagen could be extracted from desalted jellyfish for future use as a food ingredient.展开更多
