  • Patent number: 8940685
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for producing antihypertensive active peptides with corn germ protein as the material. The method comprises an alkali-heat treatment and continuous enzymolysis of the corn germ protein. The components with molecular weight less than 1000 Da in the active peptides obtained according to the present method account for more than 92%, and alanine-tyrosine (Ala-Tyr, AY) as the characteristic peptide fragments in the antihypertensive peptides accounts for more than 0.6%, so that the active peptides have a good ACE inhibitory activity in vitro as well as stability against temperature, pH and major gastrointestinal digestive enzymes, and have a significant effect of lowering blood pressure on spontaneous hypertension rats in vivo. The active peptides can be applied as a new functional nutrient to development and production of food, health food and pharmaceutical.

  • Publication number: 20140147554
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an enzyme beverage of natural garden stuff and a method for preparing the same. The enzyme beverage is prepared from a fresh juice extracted from fresh garden stuffs and added with marine fish-skin collagen peptide, as a fermentation substrate, by dilution, blending and sterilization followed by stepwise fermentation with lactobacillus and yeast in sequence. With stepwise fermentation of the garden stuff juice from two or more fresh garden stuffs with lactobacillus and yeast, and the addition of marine fish-skin collagen peptide for accelerating growth and metabolism of fermenting strains, said beverage contains more abundant metabolites from the nutritional ingredients of the natural garden stuffs, and will bring more beneficial and nutritional effects on health.
