Among the factors affecting the development of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension is
one of the most important. Research done on amaranth proteins has demonstrated their …

Amaranth is an ancestral crop used by pre-Columbian cultures for 6000 to 8000 years. Its
grains have a relevant chemical composition not only from a nutritional point of view but also …

Rapeseed protein isolate (RPI) was hydrolyzed with Alcalase followed by reverse-phase
high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) purification of bioactive peptides. The …

The aim of this work was to analyse the hypotensive effect of amaranth protein/peptides on
spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The mechanism of action of these peptides was …

Enzymatic hydrolysate of African yam bean seed proteins was prepared by treatment with
alcalase. The African yam bean seed protein hydrolysate (APH) was further separated into …

BACKGROUND The renin–angiotensin system is key in the physiopathology of arterial
hypertension because it converts angiotensin I, via angiotensin I‐converting enzyme (ACE) …

The objective of this work was to study the hydrolytic release of encrypted peptides with
antihypertensive activity from storage proteins of Amaranthus mantegazzianus, as …

Amaranth seeds have been considered as an excellent alternative or complementary source
of food protein due to their balanced amino acid composition. However, their potential as a …

Renin is the initial rate limiting step in the renin angiotensinogen system (RAS). To combat
hypertension, various stages of the RAS can be positively affected. The aim of this study was …

Highlights•Whole protein isolates or specific protein fractions can be used for enzyme
hydrolysis.•Low molecular weight plant peptides (< 3 kDa) are better antihypertensive …
