Abstract
Resource-intensive processes currently hamper the discovery of bioactive peptides (BAPs) from food by-products. To streamline this process, in silico approaches present a promising alternative. This study presents a novel computational workflow to predict peptide release, bioactivity, and bioavailability, significantly accelerating BAP discovery. The computational flowchart has been designed to identify and optimize critical enzymes involved in protein hydrolysis but also incorporates multi-enzyme screening. This feature is crucial for identifying the most effective enzyme combinations that yield the highest abundance of BAPs across different bioactive classes (anticancer, antidiabetic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial). Our process can be modulated to extract diverse BAP types efficiently from the same source. Here, we show the potentiality of our method for the identification of diverse types of BAPs from by-products generated from Solanum lycopersicum, the widely cultivated tomato plant, whose industrial processing generates a huge amount of waste, especially tomato peel. In particular, we optimized tomato by-products for bioactive peptide production by selecting cultivars like Line27859 and integrating large-scale gene expression. By integrating these advanced methods, we can maximize the value of by-products, contributing to a more circular and eco-friendly production process while advancing the development of valuable bioactive compounds.

Exploration of nutritional and bioactive peptide properties in goat meat from various primal cuts during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and absorption. Anim Biosci 2024; 37:1096-1109. [PMID: 38575133 PMCID: PMC11065958 DOI: 10.5713/ab.23.0352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This research aims to explore the nutritional and bioactive peptide properties of goat meat taken from various primal cuts, including the breast, shoulder, rib, loin, and leg, to produce these bioactive peptides during in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) digestion and absorption. METHODS The goat meat from various primal cuts was obtained from Boer goats with an average carcass weight of 30±2 kg. The meat was collected within 3 h after slaughter and was stored at -80°C until analysis. A comprehensive assessment encompassed various aspects, including the chemical composition, cooking properties, in vitro GI digestion, bioactive characteristics, and the bioavailability of the resulting peptides. RESULTS The findings indicate that the loin muscles contain the highest protein and essential amino acid composition. When the meats were cooked at 70°C for 30 min, they exhibited distinct protein compositions and quantities in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profile, suggesting they served as different protein substrates during GI digestion. Subsequent in vitro simulated GI digestion revealed that the cooked shoulder and loin underwent the most significant hydrolysis during the intestinal phase, resulting in the strongest angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibition. Following in vitro GI peptide absorption using a Caco-2 cell monolayer, the GI peptide derived from the cooked loin demonstrated greater bioavailability and a higher degree of ACE and DPP-IV inhibition than the shoulder peptide. CONCLUSION This study highlights the potential of goat meat, particularly cooked loin, as a functional meat source for protein, essential amino acids, and bioactive peptides during GI digestion and absorption. These peptides promise to play a role in preventing and treating metabolic diseases due to their dual inhibitory effects on ACE and DPP-IV.

Abstract
With lifestyle changes, chronic diseases have become a public health problem worldwide, causing a huge burden on the global economy. Risk factors associated with chronic diseases mainly include abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, elevated triglycerides, cancer, and other characteristics. Plant-sourced proteins have received more and more attention in the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases in recent years. Soybean is a low-cost, high-quality protein resource that contains 40% protein. Soybean peptides have been widely studied in the regulation of chronic diseases. In this review, the structure, function, absorption, and metabolism of soybean peptides are introduced briefly. The regulatory effects of soybean peptides on a few main chronic diseases were also reviewed, including obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and cancer. We also addressed the shortcomings of functional research on soybean proteins and peptides in chronic diseases and the possible directions in the future.

Abstract
As a traditional fermented meat product, dry-cured Xuanwei ham could be a rich source of bioactive peptides. This study intended to investigate the transepithelial transport and cytoprotection of antioxidant peptides isolated from simulated gastrointestinal digestion of Xuanwei ham. Through ultrafiltration and gel filtration chromatography after simulated digestion, five new antioxidative cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) with 16-27 amino acid residues were identified, and protective effects of the pretreatment with GHYTEGAELVDSVLDVVRK (GK-19) and TDEFQLHTNVNDGTEFGGSIYQK (TK-23) on H2O2-induced damaged HepG2 cells were investigated. The results showed that the peptide TK-23 at 0.5 mg mL-1 showed a good antioxidant activity through upregulating the activity of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, SOD and GR) and decreasing the MDA level in H2O2-induced damaged HepG2 cells with a better protective effect compared to GSH. Our observations of novel antioxidant CPPs with 16-27 amino acid residues could enrich the antioxidative CPP database, and these findings could provide data support for further study of CPPs.

Digestion, absorption, and transport properties of soy-fermented douchi hypoglycemic peptides VY and SFLLR under simulated gastrointestinal digestion and Caco-2 cell monolayers. Food Res Int 2023; 164:112340.

Abstract
Two novel hypoglycemic peptides VY and SFLLR were identified from douchi as the major peptides responsible for the glucose uptake activity. The present work aimed to elucidate their digestion, absorption and transport properties using simulated digestion and Caco-2 cell monolayers transport models. Besides, the effects of digestion and absorption on the structure and activity were also studied. The results showed that VY was resistant to gastrointestinal tract digestion and could cross Caco-2 cell monolayers intactly via both TJs-mediated passive paracellular pathway and PepT1-mediated active route. In comparison, SFLLR was partially degraded into small fragments of SFLL, SFL, and SF by the digestive system, leading to increased glucose uptake activity. Notably, SFLLR, SFLL, and SFL were partly hydrolyzed by aminopeptidase N or dipeptidyl peptidase IV during transport, but they were transported intact. SFL was transported via both paracellular diffusion and PepT1-mediated routes, while SFLLR and SFLL were via paracellular route only.

Abstract
Dry-cured pork products, such as dry-cured ham, undergo an extensive proteolysis during manufacturing process which determines the organoleptic properties of the final product. As a result of endogenous pork muscle endo- and exopeptidases, many medium- and short-chain peptides are released from muscle proteins. Many of them have been isolated, identified, and characterized, and some peptides have been reported to exert relevant bioactivity with potential benefit for human health. However, little attention has been given to di- and tripeptides, which are far less known, although they have received increasing attention in recent years due to their high potential relevance in terms of bioactivity and role in taste development. This review gathers the current knowledge about di- and tripeptides, regarding their bioactivity and sensory properties and focusing on their generation during long-term processing such as dry-cured pork meats.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the transport mechanism of immune-active peptide fragments isolated from casein gastrointestinal hydrolysates via a Caco-2 monolayer. The casein gastrointestinal hydrolysates could stimulate B-lymphocyte proliferation and reduce the TNF-α level. Then, we identified the bioactive peptide fragments derived from casein gastrointestinal hydrolysis using LC-MS/MS. Our results demonstrated that the transport mechanism of five immune-active peptides at the cell level was bypass transport. In addition, the majority of peptide RYPLGYL was transported through the monolayer cell membrane as an intact form for playing immune-active functions. The KHPIK and FFSDK were mainly degraded into small fragments, except for a small amount passing through Caco-2 cells in an entire form. Overall, these results suggested that casein or its immune-active peptides might play a role in regulation of the intestinal immune system.

Abstract
Compared with small-molecule synthetic drugs, bioactive peptides have desirable advantages in efficiency, selectivity, safety, tolerance, and side effects, which are accepted by attracting extensive attention from researchers in food, medicine, and other fields. However, unacceptable barriers, including mucus barrier, digestive enzyme barrier, and epithelial barrier, cause the weakening or the loss of bioavailability and biostability of bioactive peptides. The nanocarrier system for bioactive peptide delivery needs to be further probed. We provide a comprehensive update on the application of versatile delivery systems for embedding bioactive peptides, including liposomes, polymer nanoparticles, polysaccharides, hydrogels, and self-emulsifying delivery systems, and further clarify their structural characterization, advantages, and disadvantages as delivery systems. It aims to provide a reference for the maximum utilization of bioactive peptides. It is expected to be an effective strategy for improving the bioavailability and biostability of bioactive peptides.

Abstract
Bioactive peptides are widely used in functional foods due to their remarkable efficacy, selectivity, and low toxicity. However, commercially produced bioactive peptides lack quality stability between batches. Furthermore, the efficacies of bioactive peptides cannot be guaranteed in vivo due to gastrointestinal digestion and rapid plasma, liver, and kidney metabolism. The problem of poor stability has restricted the development of peptides. Bioactive peptide stability assessments use different stability assays, so the results of different studies are not always comparable. This review summarizes the quality stability challenges in the enzymatic hydrolysis production of bioactive peptides and the metabolism stability challenges after oral administration. Future directions on the strategies for improving their stability are provided. It was proposed that we use fingerprinting as a quality control measure using qualitative and quantitative characteristic functional peptide sequences. The chemical modification and encapsulation of bioactive peptides in microcapsules and liposomes are widely used to improve the digestive and metabolic stability of bioactive peptides. Additionally, the establishment of a universal stability test and a unified index would greatly improve uniformity and comparability in research into bioactive peptides. In summary, the reliable evaluation of stability is an essential component of peptide characterization, and these ideas may facilitate further development and utilization of bioactive peptides. Stability challenges encountered by bioactive peptides were summarized. Strategies to improve the stability of bioactive peptides were provided. A universal stability test and unified index would improve uniformity and comparability in research into bioactive peptides. It was proposed that we use a method of traditional Chinese medicine fingerprinting as a quality control measure.

Abstract
In recent years, due to the significant increase in hypertension, peptides which are able to reduce blood pressure have gained special interest by scientific research and food industry. Several bioactive peptides with ascertained ACE-inhibitory activity have been found in Parmigiano Reggiano (PR) cheese and/or mixtures deriving from its digestion in vitro, and this may be predictive of itspotential antihypertensive effect in vivo. This study investigated the long-term effect of feeding (PR) cheese on blood pressure (BP) of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). A total of 30 male SHRs, 13 weeks old, were subdivided into 6 groups balanced for body weight and BP, to receive dailydietary supplementation with: 0.1–0.2–0.4–0.6 g PR/rat, captopril, and water. Systolic and diastolic BP were recorded every two weeks, for 10 weeks. Blood samples were collected at the end of the trial. Dietary integration with PR led to a transitory reduction in rats’ pressure in the first 35 days of treatment and pressure decreased in a dose-dependent manner. In the second part of the study, the beneficial effect of PR antihypertensive peptides may have been masked and reduced by the increase in BP of rats linked to the rise in age of animals. No PR derived peptides were detected in rats’ serum. Highlights: Parmigiano Reggiano (PR) cheese led to a transitory reduction in rats’ pressure in the first 35 days of treatment. This effect was PR dose dependent. The highest amounts of PR tested did not increase both systolic and diastolic blood pressures of hypertensive rats.

Abstract
There is an intense research activity on bioactive peptides derived from food proteins in view of their health benefits for consumers. However, their identification is quite challenging as a consequence of their small size and low abundance in complex matrices such as foods or hydrolyzates. Recent advances in peptidomics and bioinformatics are getting improved sensitivity and accuracy and therefore such tools are contributing to the development of sophisticated methodologies for the identification and quantification of peptides. These developments are very useful for the follow-up of peptides released through proteolysis either in the food itself through the action of endogenous peptidases during processing stages like fermentation, drying or ripening, or from food proteins hydrolyzed by commercial peptidases or microorganisms with proteolytic activity. This chapter is presenting the latest advances in peptidomics and its use for the identification and quantification of peptides, and as a useful tool for controlling the proteolysis phenomena in foods and protein hydrolyzates.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major metabolic disease that requires long-term pharmacotherapy. Bioactive peptides have unique advantages such as higher potency, selectivity, and safety over small molecules and have achieved great success in the treatment of diabetes. We previously isolated a dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptide VPLVM with IC50 = 99.68 μM from the protein hydrolysates of broccoli stems and leaves. Here, we evaluated the interaction with DPP-IV, transport, stability, and in vivo hypoglycemic effects of VPLVM. VPLVM interacted closely and steadily with DPP-IV at S1 and S2 pockets. VPLVM had a good gastrointestinal enzyme resistance and was transported through the Caco-2 cell monolayer via paracellular diffusion and by the PepT1 with a Papp of 6.96 × 10-7 cm/s. VPLVM has a t1/2 of 12.56 ± 0.41 min in vitro plasma stability. In the oral glucose tolerance test, VPLVM showed an excellent hypoglycemic effect at 30 min after administration. VPLVM has potential as a candidate for the treatment of hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Agri-food industries generate several by-products, including protein-rich materials currently treated as waste. Lupine species could be a sustainable alternative source of protein compared to other crops such as soybean or chickpea. Protein hydrolysates contain bioactive peptides that may act positively in disease prevention or treatment. Inflammatory responses and oxidative stress underlie many chronic pathologies and natural treatment approaches have gained attention as an alternative to synthetic pharmaceuticals. Recent studies have shown that lupin protein hydrolysates (LPHs) could be an important source of biopeptides, especially since they demonstrate anti-inflammatory properties. However, due to their possible degradation by digestive and brush-border enzymes, it is not clear whether these peptides can resist intestinal absorption and reach the bloodstream, where they may exert their biological effects. In this work, the in vitro cellular uptake/transport and the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of LPH were investigated in a co-culture system with intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells and THP-1-derived macrophages. The results indicate that the LPH crosses the human intestinal Caco-2 monolayer and exerts anti-inflammatory activity in macrophages located in the basement area by decreasing mRNA levels and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. A remarkable reduction in nitric oxide and ROS in the cell-based system by peptides from LPH was also demonstrated. Our preliminary results point to underexplored protein hydrolysates from food production industries as a novel, natural source of high-value-added biopeptides.

Abstract
Peptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) is a pharmacotherapeutic target in type 2 diabetes, and inhibitors of this enzyme are an important class of drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In the present study, peptides (<7 kDa) isolated from dry-cured pork loins after pepsin and pancreatin hydrolysis were identified by mass spectrometry and tested as potential inhibitors of DPP-IV by the in silico method. Two peptides, namely WTIAVPGPPHS from myomesin (water-soluble fraction, A = 0.9091) and FKRPPL from troponin (salt-soluble fraction, A = 0.8333), were selected as the most promising inhibitors of DPP-IV. Both peptides were subjected to ADMET analysis. Fragments of these peptides showed promising drug-likeness properties as well as favorable absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity functions, suggesting that they are novel leads in the development of DPP-IV inhibitors from food.

Abstract
Meat and meat products constitute an important source of nutrients and play vital roles for growth, maintenance and repair of the body. In addition to the high quality of proteins, meat is also regarded as a major resource to produce bioactive peptides. Meat processing industry also produces by-products such as bones, blood and viscera, which could be further used for the production of bioactive compounds. In the physiological analysis, meat bioactive peptides have been reported to exert antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antitumoral activities, which endow nutritional and functional value of meat. With the objective to exert the functional effect, the bioavailability should also be considered due to the degradation by digestion enzymes and the absorption process in intestinal mucosa. In this chapter, the general source, the enzymatic hydrolysis, the physiological effects as well as the bioavailability of bioactive peptides in meat are discussed.

Abstract
AbstractHigh cholesterolemia is a key risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, which are the main cause of mortality in developed countries. Most therapies are focused on the modulation of its biosynthesis through 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoAR) inhibitors. In this sense, food-derived bioactive peptides might act as promising health alternatives through their ability to interact with crucial enzymes involved in metabolic pathways, avoiding the adverse effects of synthetic drugs. Dry-cured ham has been widely described as an important source of naturally-generated bioactive peptides exerting ACEI-inhibitory activity, antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory activity between others. Based on these findings, the aim of this work was to assess, for the first time, the in vitro inhibitory activity of HMG-CoAR exerted by dipeptides generated during the manufacturing of dry-cured ham, previously described with relevant roles on other bioactivities.The in vitro inhibitory activity of the dipeptides was assessed by measuring the substrate consumption rate of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase in their presence, with the following pertinent calculations.Further research was carried out to estimate the possible interactions of the most bioactive dipeptides with the enzyme by performing in silico analysis consisting of molecular docking approaches.Main findings showed DA, DD, EE, ES, and LL dipeptides as main HMG-CoAR inhibitors. Additionally, computational analysis indicated statin-like interactions of the dipeptides with HMG-CoAR.This study reveals, for the first time, the hypocholesterolemic potential of dry-cured ham-derived dipeptides and, at the same time, converges in the same vein as many reports that experimentally argue the cardiovascular benefits of dry-cured ham consumption due to its bioactive peptide content.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a new type of nanodrug delivery material by modifying milk polar lipid (MPL) liposomes with the S-layer protein. LIP-RLSFNP (MPL liposomes encapsulating RLSFNP (Arg-Leu-Ser-Phe-Asn-Pro)) and SLP-LIP-RLSFNP (S-layer protein-modified LIP-RLSFNP) were prepared and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, surface plasmon resonance, and mastersizer dynamic light scattering measurements. The results showed that the S-layer protein could modify the surface of MPL liposomes, stabilize the shape of the vesicles, and improve the resistance to external interference. Furthermore, SLP-LIP-RLSFNP showed better performance in in vitro and in vivo experiments compared with LIP-RLSFNP in terms of promoting absorption and delayed release. The findings suggested that MPL liposomes modified with the S-layer protein have potential for use as an effective delivery system for therapeutic proteins and peptides.

Abstract
Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides are able to inhibit the activity of ACE, which is the key enzymatic factor mediating systemic hypertension. ACE-inhibitory peptides can be obtained from edible proteins and have the function of antihypertension. The amino acid sequences and the secondary structures of ACE-inhibitory peptides determine the inhibitory activities and stability. The resistance of ACE-inhibitory peptides to digestive enzymes and peptidase affect their antihypertensive bioactivity in vivo. In this paper, the mechanism of ACE-inhibition, sources of the inhibitory peptides, structure-activity relationships, stability during digestion, absorption and transportation of ACE-inhibitory peptides, and consumption of ACE-inhibitory peptides are reviewed, which provide guidance to the development of new functional foods and production of antihypertensive nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
There is a wide variety of peptides released from food proteins that are able to exert a relevant benefit for human health, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypoglucemic, or antithrombotic activity, among others. This manuscript is reviewing the recent advances on enzymatic mechanisms for the hydrolysis of proteins from foods of animal origin, including the types of enzymes and mechanisms of action involved, the strategies followed for the isolation and identification of bioactive peptides through advanced proteomic tools, and the assessment of bioactivity and its beneficial effects. Specific applications in fermented and/or ripened foods where a significant number of bioactive peptides have been reported with relevant in vivo physiological effects on laboratory rats and humans as well as the hydrolysis of animal food proteins for the production of bioactive peptides are also reviewed.

Abstract
Prevalence of type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity are increasing globally. Food supplementation as a preventative option has become an attractive option in comparison to increased pharmacotherapy dependency. Hydrolysates of fish processing waste and by-products have become particularly interesting in a climate of increased food wastage awareness and are rapidly gaining traction in food research. This review summarizes the available research so far on the potential effect of these hydrolysates on diabetes and appetite suppression. Scopus and Web of Science are searched using eight keywords (fish, hydrolysate, peptides, satiating, insulinotropic, incretin, anti-obesity, DPP-4 [dipeptidylpeptidase-4/IV]) returning a total of 2549 results. Following exclusion criteria (repeated appearances, non-fish marine sources [e.g., macroalgae], and irrelevant bioactivities [e.g., immunomodulatory, anti-thrombotic]), 44 relevant publications are included in this review. Stimulation of hormone secretion, regulation of glucose uptake, anorexigenic potential, identified mechanisms of action, and research conducted on the most potent bioactive peptides identified within these hydrolysates are all specifically addressed. Results of this review conclude that despite wide methodological variation between studies, there is significant potential for the application of fish protein hydrolysates in the management of bodyweight and hyperglycemia.

Abstract
Coconut antimicrobial peptide-1 (CnAMP1) is a naturally occurring bioactive peptide from green coconut water (Cocos nucifera L.). Although biological activities have been reported, the physiological relevance of these reports remains elusive as it is unknown if CnAMP1 is taken up into intestinal cells. To address this open question, we investigated the cytotoxicity of CnAMP1 in intestinal cells and its cellular uptake into human intestinal cells. Considering the importance of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) to the intestinal metabolism of xenobiotics, we also investigated the influence of CnAMP1 on P-gp activity and expression. Both cell lines showed intracellular fluorescence after incubation with fluorescein labelled CnAMP1, indicating cellular uptake of the intact or fragmented peptide. CnAMP1 (12.5-400 μmol/L) showed no signs of cytotoxicity in LS180 and differentiated Caco-2 cells and did not affect P-gp expression and activity. Further research is required to investigate the identity of CnAMP1 hydrolysis fragments and their potential biological activities.

Abstract
Grain protein composition is important in wheat quality and may influence the amino acidic sequence of bioactive peptides obtained from this feedstock. However, the genetic basis modulating the amino acid profile in durum wheat is not well-understood. Therefore, strong and weak gluten strength durum wheat genotypes were evaluated for their amino acid composition along grain filling. Strong gluten strength lines showed higher expression levels of low-molecular-weight glutenin-related genes between 21 and 35 days post-anthesis (DPA) and exhibited up to 43.5% more alanine than the weak lines at 42 DPA, which was supported by the higher expression levels of putative alanine amino transferase genes in strong genotypes. Therefore, with the involvement of chemistry and molecular biology, the results present here may influence the science of wheat.

Abstract
Previous animal experiments indicated collagen hydrolysates (CHs) intake decreased platelet release indicators in plasma and highlight potential applications as healthcare supplements to combat cardiovascular disease. The oligopeptides (GPR, GPRG, and GPRGP) have anti-platelet activities. However, it is still unclear whether they are bioactive compounds in CHs from silver carp skin. We investigated the bioavailability of oligopeptides using simulated gastrointestinal digestion and Caco-2 model. Anti-thrombotic activities, in vitro platelet aggregation and formation of platelet thrombus, were evaluated. They resisted gastrointestinal digestion and could be absorbed by Caco-2. Oligopeptides inhibited platelet aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate and thrombin with IC50 of 0.160, 0.283, 0.251 mg/ml and 0.714, 1.008, 0.917 mg/ml for GPR, GPRG, and GPRGP, respectively. Oligopeptides prolonged the time of platelet thrombus and inhibited coagulation cascades, but CHs performed no bleeding side effect. These results confirmed that oligopeptides could be used as bioactive compounds of dietary supplements for pre-thrombotic to prevent thrombosis. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Oligopeptides, GPR, GPRG, and GPRGP, derived from silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) skin collagen, performed anti-thrombotic activities from their anti-platelet aggregation and anticoagulation activities. But the collagen hydrolysates containing these peptides had no side effect of bleeding in the mice model. Furthermore, this study investigated the bioavailability of these three bioactive peptides by the Caco-2 cells model. Thus, oligopeptides GPR, GPRG, and GPRGP are a potential index of bioactive compounds in the preparation of anti-thrombotic functional foods or healthcare supplements for people at the pre-thrombotic state.

Peptidomic Investigation of the Interplay between Enzymatic Tenderization and the Digestibility of Beef Semimembranosus Proteins. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2020; 68:1136-1146.

Abstract
This work investigated the influence of enzymatic tenderization on digestibility changes of beef semimembranosus proteins using peptidomics methods. Hydrolysis by proteinase K and bromelain elevated the average bitterness index of identified peptides by generating high-Q values peptides (1714-1790 Cal/mol), including KDLFDPIIQ, LIDDHFLFDKPVSPL, and QLIDDHFLFDKPVSPLLL. Proteolysis during enzymatic tenderization acted as a "pre-digestion" step and significantly elevated the degree of hydrolysis of beef protein (by 4.5-17.3%) in subsequent simulated gastrointestinal digestion. Peptidomics analysis of digests revealed large variations in the peptide composition, which was positively correlated with the degree of proteolysis during enzymatic tenderization. Enzymatic tenderization with proteinase K- (for 0.5 h) or bromelain-treated samples largely increased the survival rate (by 65.5 or 82.8%) of peptides during simulated digestion, possibly because of the "secondary enzyme-substrate interaction" effect. This work could provide a new sight into the possible influence of enzymatic tenderization on meat nutrition.

Abstract
There is now great interest in food protein hydrolysates and food-derived peptides, because they may provide numerous health benefits. Among other foodstuffs, microalgae appear to be sustainable sources of proteins and bioactive peptides that can be exploited in foods and functional formulations. This review considers protein hydrolysates and individual peptides that may be relevant in cardiovascular disease prevention because they mimic the functions of mediators involved in pathologic processes that represent relevant risk factors for cardiovascular disease development, such as hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, diabetes, inflammation, and oxidative status. Some of these peptides are also multifunctional (i.e., they offer more than one benefit). Moreover, the most efficient techniques for protein extraction and hydrolyzation are commented on, as well as the best methodologies for high-throughput detection and quantification. Finally, current challenges and critical issues are discussed.

Abstract
Food peptides contain a very wide range of diversified structures, which explains their diverse range of functional activities. Proatherogenic endothelium is related to vasoconstriction, inflammation, and oxidative stress. In this line, four synthetic bioactive peptides from dry-cured pork ham, previously identified according to their Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitory capacity and high bioavailability, were tested. Among them, KPVAAP displayed an estimated IC50 of 59.22 µM for human ACE inhibition, and docking simulations demonstrated the consistency of the noncompetitive binding with the protein. The addition of synthetic peptides to human endothelial cells significantly prevents the expression of genes related to endothelial dysfunction and inflammation (eNOS, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, IL-6) and lowers NF-κB activation (all p < 0.05). In silico dockings showed that the four bioactive peptides interact with the regulatory subunit NEMO of the NF-κB transcription factor at the same site as other characterized inhibitors (CC2-LZ region). This is the first study linking experimental and computational approaches that shows NF-κB to be the target of biopeptides of food origin. These multifunctional peptides from dry-cured pork ham make them good candidates for further research into their therapeutic or preventive use to attenuate the inflammatory atherosclerotic process.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate the transepithelial transport route of Arg-Leu-Ser-Phe-Asn-Pro (RLSFNP), a milk-derived angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide, and to encapsulate RLSFNP in a liposome to improve its intestinal bioavailability. The transport route was investigated using transport inhibitors in a human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayer model. Sodium azide and wortmannin significantly reduced the permeability of RLSFNP ( P < 0.01), indicating that energy-dependent transcytosis is involved in the transport of RLSFNP across Caco-2 cells. The hexapeptide RLSFNP was then embedded in liposomes, and the RLSFNP liposome was characterized. Afterward, the cellular uptake and transepithelial transport ability of the RLSFNP liposome across Caco-2 cell monolayers was observed. The results demonstrated that the RLSFNP liposome was successfully prepared, having a significant sustained release and storage capability. The RLSFNP liposome can be absorbed by Caco-2 cells, with an increased intestinal absorption of RLSFNP compared to RLSFNP alone. The results showed a new way to improve RLSFNP intestinal bioavailability.

Abstract
China is a large country that produces Camellia oleifera Abel seed meal (COASM), a by-product of tea-seed oil, which is only used as an organic fertilizer, resulting in a serious waste of high-quality resources. The preparation of the ACE inhibitory peptide from COASM and the study of its functional properties are of practical importance in improving the comprehensive utilization of COASM. Our manuscript presents an optimized preparation of ACE inhibitory peptides with alkaline protease and enzyme kinetics parameters. Ultrafiltration, gel chromatography, and RP-HPLC purification were conducted for ACE inhibitory peptides, and peptide molecular weight distribution and amino acid composition were analyzed in the enzymolysis liquid. The following were the conditions of the optimized enzymatic hydrolysis to obtain ACE inhibitory peptides from COASM: 15 times of hydrolysis in distilled water for 3.5 h at 50°C, pH = 8.5, substrate concentration of 17 mg/g, and addition of 6% (w/w) alkaline protease. Under this condition, the peptides produced exhibited an ACE inhibition rate of 79.24%, and the reaction kinetics parameters are as follows: Km = 0.152 mg/mL and Vmax = 0.130 mg/mL·min. The majority of ACE inhibitory peptides from COASM have molecular weight below 1 kDa, and a high ACE inhibitory rate was achieved after dextran gel chromatography separation and purification (whose IC50 was 0.678 mg/mL). The hydrophobic amino acid content in this fraction reached 51.21%.

Abstract
Tilapia skin gelatin was hydrolyzed by successive simulated gastrointestinal digestion, and the hydrolysates were further separated by transport across a Caco-2 cell monolayer. Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory (ACEI) peptides were separated by successive chromatographic steps from the transport hydrolysates. We have identified two key ACEI peptides, namely VGLPNSR (741.4133 Da) and QAGLSPVR (826.4661 Da) with IC50 values of ACEI activity of 80.90 and 68.35 μM, respectively. Lineweaver-Burk plots indicated that the inhibitory ACE kinetics of the two peptides were noncompetitive. Molecular docking simulation showed that the two peptides could interact with the ACE site via hydrogen bonds with high binding power. However, the hydrogen bonds were not formed with the key amino acid residues in the active site of ACE. This finding was in accordance with the noncompetitive inhibition. This study established a novel approach to identify key ACEI peptides and suggested the use of tilapia peptides as functional food ingredients to prevent hypertension.

Abstract
Plant foods are rich sources of biologically active peptides that may have a role in the prevention of diseases. Coconut water is a valuable beverage due to its nutrient composition and the presence of bioactive compounds, such as the peptide CnAMP1. It is unknown if CnAMP1 can be absorbed into intestinal cells. We, therefore, aimed to develop and validate a simple reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method to quantify the peptide in Caco-2 and LS180 cell lysates. CnAMP1 standards (1-200 µmol/L) and spiked cell lysates were injected onto a Reprosil-Pur 120 C18-AQ column (4.6 × 250 mm) using acetonitrile:water:trifluoroacetic acid (14.0:85.9:0.1, by volume) as mobile phase in isocratic mode at flow rate of 1 mL/min. The method achieved rapid separation (total run time of 6 min), with linear response, good sensitivity (limit of detection, 8.2 ng; lower limit of quantification, 30.6 ng) and no interfering peaks. Best recoveries (84-96%), accuracies (7.6-14.8%) and precision (1.5-8%) were found for LS180 cell lysates spiked with medium (50 µmol/L) and high (100 µmol/L) amounts of the peptide. Uptake assays detected no peptides in the cell lysates; however, after the first 15-min incubation CnAMP1 underwent partial hydrolysis upon incubation with LS180 cells (29%) and extensive hydrolysis with Caco-2 cells (93%).

Abstract
Ile-Trp-His-His-Thr (IWHHT), initially identified as an ACE inhibitory peptide, was shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in cells and blood pressure lowering activity in animals. IWHHT was degraded into IWH and IW during simulated gastrointestinal digestion. The purpose of this study was to investigate the stability, permeability, and transport pathways of IWHHT, IWH, and IW across intestinal epithelium using human intestinal Caco-2 cell monolayers. IWHHT, IWH, and IW were partly degraded by aminopeptidase N or dipeptidyl peptidase IV, but they were transported intact, with apparent permeability coefficients of (22.0 ± 1.42) × 10-8, (37.5 ± 1.11) × 10-8, and (19.6 ± 0.62) × 10-8 cm s-1, respectively. The results firstly evidenced an important role of aminopeptidase N in cleaving small ACE inhibitory peptides during transport. IWH was transported via both peptide transporter 1 (PepT1) and paracellular route, while IW was via PepT1 and IWHHT was via paracellular route only. Transport of IW implied that hydrophobic peptides (even with a small size), consisting of only highly hydrophobic amino acid residues, might not be transported via paracellular diffusion. This study suggested that all three peptides could pass through the intestinal epithelium and that the degraded IWH and IW might also contribute to the antihypertensive activity of IWHHT.

Abstract
Meat and meat products have been described as a very good source of angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACEI)-inhibitory peptides. The generation of bioactive peptides can occur through the action of endogenous muscular enzymes during processing, gastrointestinal digestion, or by using commercial enzymes in laboratory or industry under controlled conditions. Studies of bioavailability are necessary in order to prove the positive health effect of bioactive peptides in the body as they should resist gastrointestinal digestion, cross the intestinal barrier, and reach blood stream and target organs. However, in order to better understand their effect, interactions, and bioavailability, it is necessary to consider food matrix interactions and continue the development of quantitative methodologies in order to obtain more data that will enable advances in the field of bioactive peptides and the determination of their influence on health.

Abstract
Food-derived angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory (ACEi) peptides have gained substantial interest as potential alternatives to synthetic drugs in the management of hypertension. Peptide size and sequence are two critical factors that determine their potency, bioavailability, and cellular mechanisms. Molecular interaction studies between ACE and ACEi peptides support that potent ACEi peptides are generally composed of hydrophobic, positively charged, and aromatic or cyclic amino acid residues at the third, second, and first position from the C-terminus, respectively. Small peptides containing N-terminal Tyr and/or C-terminal Pro could improve their stability against enterocyte peptidases, thus their bioavailability. Different ACEi peptides can reduce aberrant cellular proliferation, excessive inflammation, and oxidative stress but through different mechanisms. Further understanding the structure-activity-bioavailability relationships will help design novel potent ACEi peptides with improved bioavailability and in vivo efficacy. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: ACEi peptides have the potential for uses as functional food ingredients against hypertension.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation is an underlying contributor to various chronic diseases. The objectives of this study were to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of zein hydrolysate after simulated gastrointestinal digestion and Caco-2 cell absorption and to identify novel anti-inflammatory peptides after transport across Caco-2 cells. Three zein hydrolysates were prepared and further digested using gastrointestinal proteases; their transports were studied in Caco-2 cells. Anti-inflammatory activity was studied in endothelial EA.hy926 cells. Three zein hydrolysates and their digests significantly decreased the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced pro-inflammatory vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) by 37.3-66.0%. Eleven novel peptides with 5-9 amino acid residues were sequenced; three peptides showed strong anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the VCAM-1 by 54-38.9% and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) by 36.5-28.6% at 0.2 mM. A new approach to identify novel anti-inflammatory peptides that could survive gastrointestinal digestion and absorption was developed.
