Amarantin, an 11S globulin, is one of the most important storage proteins of amaranth
seeds, with relevant nutritional–functional and nutraceutical characteristics. Its cDNA was …

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 seed is a valuable source of dietary protein with very high nutritional quality, and
recently its potential as a nutraceutical has been proposed. The aim of this work was to …

A number of biopeptides promoting health benefits have been isolated from food-protein
hydrolysates and can be released during enzymatic digestion. Antihypertensive peptides …

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 …

Amaranth seeds are considered as an excellent complementary source of food protein due
to their balanced amino acid composition. Amarantin acidic subunit has the potential as a …

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 …

VY-7 has been demonstrated as a potent ACE inhibitory peptide in the previous study [1]. In
this article, we provide accompanying data about the identification of bitter melon seed …

A peptide fraction with molecular masses below 3 kDa (PSH-3 kDa) from a peach seed
hydrolysate demonstrated high angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity …

Peptides inhibiting angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE, EC. 3.4. 15.1) are possible cures
of hypertension. Food-derived ACE-inhibitory peptides are particularly attractive because of …
