Novel antihypertensive peptides from lupin protein hydrolysate: An in-silico identification and molecular docking studies. Food Chem 2023; 407:135082. [PMID: 36493485 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2022.135082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Application of non-thermal treatment to proteins prior to enzymatic hydrolysis can facilitate the release of novel bioactive peptides (BPs) with unique biological activities. In this study, lupin protein isolate was pre-treated with ultrasound and hydrolysed using alcalase and flavourzyme to produce alcalase hydrolysate (ACT) and flavourzyme hydrolysate(FCT). These hydrolysates were fractionated into 1, 5, and 10 kDa molecular weight fractions using a membrane ultrafiltration technique. The in vitro angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) studies revealed that unfractionated ACT (IC50 = 3.21 mg mL-1) and FCT (IC50 = 3.32 mg mL-1) were more active inhibitors of ACE in comparison to their ultrafiltrated fractions with IC50 values ranging from 6.09 to 7.45 mg mL-1. Molecular docking analysis predicted three unique peptides from ACT (AIPPGIPY, SVPGCT, and QGAGG) and FCT (AIPINNPGKL, SGNQGP, and PPGIP) as potential ACE inhibitors. Thus, unique BPs with ACE inhibitory effects might be generated from ultrasonicated lupin protein.

[PMID: 36908371 PMCID: PMC9998797 DOI: 10.1007/s13197-022-05437-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Revised: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
Spent hen meat is considered as a category of waste generated by the poultry sector which can lead to serious environmental concerns if not disposed and utilized properly. In this work, spent hen meat was hydrolysed by 2% Flavourzyme (6.5 pH, 55 °C) followed by ultrafiltration to produce three peptide fractions with molecular weights > 10 kDa, 5-10 kDa and < 5 kDa. These fractions were evaluated for antioxidant potential, SDS PAGE and amino acid profile. The SDS PAGE profile demonstrated bands in the low molecular weight (< 10 kDa) region. Peptide fractions of < 5 kDa exhibited highest antioxidant activity and, essential as well as hydrophobic amino acid composition than whole hydrolysate and other peptide fractions. Incorporation of the identified hydrolysate fraction in food could improve its shelf stability while serving as a preventive component against human degenerative diseases.

The impact of Flavourzyme on flavor, antioxidant activity, and sensory attributes of salted grass carp by brine injection and brining. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2022; 102:1665-1673. [PMID: 34453751 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.11506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enzyme injection is vital for improving the sensory attributes and processing characteristics of meat products by enhancing proteolysis. However, studies regarding the appropriate dose addition for accelerating protein degradation in grass carp are minimal. This study aimed to investigate the impact of Flavourzyme® on the flavor quality and antioxidant activity of salted grass carp via brine injection and brining. RESULTS Flavourzyme was added at doses of 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 leucine aminopeptidase units (LAPU) per kilogram of raw meat. The results indicated that adding Flavourzyme promoted proteolysis, which was reflected by the enhanced total free amino acid content (from 3.7414 g kg-1 to 4.9160 g kg-1 in the brining group and from 3.8039 g kg-1 to 5.4061 g kg-1 in the injection group) and a decrease in salt soluble and insoluble protein (P < 0.05). The antioxidant activity was improved, and the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance value in salted carp decreased due to the higher content of the protein hydrolysis product (P < 0.05). All sensory attributes were improved significantly, especially when using brine injection (P < 0.05). Brine injection was helpful to diffuse the Flavourzyme, resulting in stronger proteolysis. CONCLUSION The appropriate Flavourzyme dose was 10 LAPU kg-1 in the injection group and 20 LAPU kg-1 in the brining group. Therefore, moderate Flavourzyme addition was excellent in improving sensory attributes and storage characteristics, whereas injection represented a novel method to obtain a similar fish meat quality in a shorter time and with less added Flavourzyme. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Inhibitory effects of Flavourzyme on biofilm formation, quorum sensing, and virulence genes of foodborne pathogens Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia coli. Food Res Int 2021; 147:110461. [PMID: 34399461 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2021.110461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Revised: 04/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Salmonella enterica and Shiga toxin-producing (or verotoxin-producing) Escherichia coli are major foodborne pathogens, posing substantial food safety risks. Due to the negative effects of chemical treatment against foodborne pathogens, the application of enzyme-based techniques is currently receiving great attention. Here, we evaluated the inhibitory properties of Flavourzyme, a commercial peptidase, against these two foodborne pathogens. We noticed 4.0 and 5.5 log inhibition of biofilm formation by S. Typhimurium and E. coli, respectively, while treated with sub-minimum inhibitory concentrations of Flavourzyme for 24 h. For both bacteria, the enzyme exhibited quorum-quenching activity, preventing autoinducer-2 production completely by E. coli. In addition, Flavourzyme significantly suppressed the relative expression levels of biofilm-forming, quorum sensing, and virulence regulatory genes as measured by qRT-PCR. Based on our results, we suggest the use of Flavourzyme as a preventive agent against foodborne pathogens that possibly acts by inhibiting bacterial self-defense mechanisms following disruption of cellular proteins. This finding may shed light on how enzymes can be applied as a novel weapon to control foodborne illnesses to ensure food safety and public health.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to optimize the conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis (type of enzyme, pH, temperature (T), substrate (S) and enzyme concentration (E)) to increase content of soluble peptides (P), antioxidant activities and degree of hydrolysis DH (%), in hydrolysates. Also, the effect of scaling up from a 0.5 L to a 7.5 L reactor, was evaluated. Hydrolysis was carried out for 3 h in a 500 mL reactor, with Alcalase® 2.4 L and Flavourzyme® 500 L enzymes. A second experimental design was then developed with S and E as factors, where DH, P and antioxidant activity, were response variables. The Alcalase® 2.4 L was the most productive enzyme, with optimal S and E of 45 g/L and 4.4 g/L, respectively. Its hydrolysates showed antioxidant activities with IC50 of 0.76 g/L, 12 g/L and 8 g/L for ABTS, FRAP and ICA, respectively. The scale up didn't showed negative effect on the hydrolysis.

Abstract
Flavourzyme is known to promote protein decomposition, resulting in more peptides and amino acids which can improve the quality of fermented foods. In this study, the effects of flavourzyme addition on the fermentation of Suanzhayu fish were investigated. The results showed that the addition of 50 U/g flavourzyme reduced the water activity (aw) of products and promoted the release of trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble peptides and free amino acids (FAAs). Thus, the stability of the product was improved and its nutritional value was increased. In addition, with the addition of flavourzyme, Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces more quickly became the dominant genera in the fermentation. Furthermore, the formation of alcohols, aldehydes, and esters was promoted in flavourzyme addition group. Redundant analysis (RDA) indicated that Lactobacillus and Lactococcus play important roles in the formation of flavors, especially for the characteristic flavors of Suanzhayu. Flavourzyme addition may be a novel method to greatly improve the properties of Suanzhayu and shorten the fermentation time.

Abstract
Abstract This paper shows the potential of dual enzyme approach on antioxidant activity of casein hydrolysates. Casein was hydrolysed using the proteolytic enzymes alcalase, flavourzyme in isolation and in sequential order. Casein hydrolysates were evaluated for the degree of hydrolysis, antioxidant activity, molecular weight distribution patterns and peptide sequence. Casein hydrolysate produced by the sequential hydrolysis of alcalase and flavourzyme showed higher degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant activity as compared to hydrolysate obtained by individual enzymes. In size exclusion chromatograph of casein hydrolysate S3, peptides with molecular weight of 0.57 kDa share 12% area in total area of chromatogram which was 10 times higher than that of hydrolysate S1 and nearly half of that of hydrolysate S2. On subjecting to HPLC-TOF-ESI separation potential antioxidant peptides were identified. The peptide sequence VLPVPQ along with potential fragments was identified in hydrolysate S1 and S2 and HPHPHLS along with its potential sequence was identified in hydrolysate S1, S2 and S3. Sequential hydrolysis of casein showed better antioxidant activity and peptide profile in less duration as compared to the casein hydrolysate obtained by individual enzyme. Graphic abstract

Efficacy of flavourzyme against Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms on food-contact surfaces. Int J Food Microbiol 2020; 336:108897.

Abstract
Food contamination is a major public health concern, with Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa being the prominent causal agents. They often produce resistant shields in food through biofilm formation and are difficult to remove from food-contact surfaces using conventional cleaning agents. In the current study, we investigated the efficacy of flavourzyme, an industrial peptidase, in biofilm removal from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and rubber surfaces and compared the corresponding efficacies with those of the commonly used DNase I. We noticed a significant reduction of young (24-h-old) and mature (72-h-old) biofilms on both surfaces after treatment with flavourzyme. The overall reduction potentiality of flavourzyme was higher than that of DNase I. The flavourzyme-mediated removal of biofilms appears to be caused by the gradual disruption of amide (NH) and polysaccharide (C-O-C) stretching bands of the extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) released by the microbes. EPS elimination and the cell-friendly behavior of flavourzyme were further confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. Based on these findings, we suggest that flavourzyme can reduce microbial EPS formation, thus possibly controlling microbial food contamination. This finding reveals a new opportunity for the development of a novel method for controlling foodborne illness as well as food spoilage.

Abstract
Protein hydrolysates were obtained from salmon frame using Alcalase or Flavourzyme at 3% (w/w protein) for 180 min. Protein hydrolysates prepared using Alcalase (HA) and Flavourzyme (HF) had DH and yield of 25.1-26.9% and 28.5-32.3 g/100 g sample, respectively. HF showed lower bitterness score (5.78) than that of HA (8.68) (P < 0.05). When HA and HF were further subjected to debittering with 2-butanol or isopropanol, the recovery of 77.88-81.60% was obtained (P < 0.05). HF and HA debittered with 2-butanol possessed less bitterness score, 3.60 and 3.77, respectively (P < 0.05). Surface hydrophobicity of 81.4 and 124.8 was attained when HF and HA were debittered with 2-butanol (P < 0.05). Selected debittered hydrolysates, produced using Flavourzyme, followed by fractionation using 2-butanol (HF-B) contained glutamic acid/glutamine (15.14 g/100 g), aspartic acid/asparagine (10.07 g/100 g) and glycine (9.30 g/100 g) as the predominant amino acids. HF-B had the decreased ABTS radical scavenging activity and metal chelating activity. A280 of peptides separated by gel filtration was lowered to some extent and coincided with the lower bitterness score and surface hydrophobicity. Thus, debittered protein hydrolysate from salmon frame could serve as a nutritive ingredient at high levels in health promoting foods.

Abstract
Fish gelatin hydrolysates have been shown to possess various biological activities due to their unique Gly-Pro-Y and Gly-X-Hyp sequences. In the current study, fish gelatin was extracted from non-extruded milkfish scale (FSG1) or extrusion-pretreated milkfish scale (FSG2); extracted gelatins were hydrolyzed with different combinations of Flavourzyme and Alcalase to give four different hydrolysates, namely: FSGH1 (FSG1 hydrolyzed with Flavourzyme), FSGH2 (FSG1 hydrolyzed with Alcalase + Flavourzyme), FSGH3 (FSG2 hydrolyzed with Flavourzyme), and FSGH4 (FSG2 hydrolyzed with Alcalase + Flavourzyme). The extrusion-pretreatment process enhanced the extraction yield of gelatin from fish scale. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses showed the extracts FSG1 and FSG2 possessed characteristics of gelatin. Moreover, the physicochemical characteristics of FSGH1⁻FSGH4 were examined by analyses of their degree of hydrolysis, amino acid composition, UV spectrum, FTIR spectrum, molecular weight, and RP-HPLC profile. Additional biological functional analyses showed that all of the studied gelatin hydrolysates FSGH1⁻FSGH4 possessed antioxidant activity dose-dependently as revealed by DPPH scavenging, ABTS scavenging, and reducing power analyses. In addition, FSGH2 and FSGH4 showed higher angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activity as compared to FSGH1 and FSGH3. Taken together, FSGH2 and FSGH4 showed high antioxidant activity and potent anti-ACE activity. Due to the potential antioxidant and antihypertensive properties of FSGH2 and FSGH4, further research is needed to explore their possible use as natural supplementary raw materials in food and nutraceutical products.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to optimize and characterize Flavourzyme hydrolysis conditions for the preparation of antioxidant peptides from duck meat, using response surface methodology. The results indicated that optimal Flavourzyme hydrolysis conditions for preparation of antioxidant peptides from duck protein were a temperature of 50.19°C, pH 5.45, and a reaction time of 1.03 h. Compared to non-hydrolyzed duck meat, Flavourzyme hydrolysis significantly improved the hydroxyl-radical scavenging, DPPH radical-scavenging, ferrous ion-chelating, reducing, and ABTS radical cation-scavenging activities of duck meat. Therefore, Flavourzyme can be regarded as an effective hydrolytic enzyme for the preparation of antioxidant peptides from duck meat.

Abstract
In present study, we developed and optimized soymilk-cow's milk enzyme-modified cheese with angiotensin-I converting enzyme inhibitory activity. Bioactive peptide production was found to be a multivariable-dependent process. Maximum bioactivity of hydrolysates was obtained with prolonged curd proteolysis at an increased enzyme concentration. This bioactive cheese paste was subsequently spray-dried under different drying conditions to determine the powder sorption isotherm properties. Higher drying temperatures resulted in cheese powder with weak thermal stability and lower browning indices. Experiments aimed at optimizing thermal stability and physical properties revealed that optimal conditions for producing cheese powder were an inlet air temperature of 150°C, a feeding rate of 10%, and an air flow rate of 600Lh-1. Moreover, in addition to flavour, the bioactive cheese powders produced from a combination of soymilk-cow's milk are of potential source and can be used in the dietary management of hypertension.

Abstract
Flavourzyme is sold as a peptidase preparation from Aspergillus oryzae. The enzyme preparation is widely and diversely used for protein hydrolysis in industrial and research applications. However, detailed information about the composition of this mixture is still missing due to the complexity. The present study identified eight key enzymes by mass spectrometry and partially by activity staining on native polyacrylamide gels or gel zymography. The eight enzymes identified were two aminopeptidases, two dipeptidyl peptidases, three endopeptidases, and one α-amylase from the A. oryzae strain ATCC 42149/RIB 40 (yellow koji mold). Various specific marker substrates for these Flavourzyme enzymes were ascertained. An automated, time-saving nine-step protocol for the purification of all eight enzymes within 7 h was designed. Finally, the purified Flavourzyme enzymes were biochemically characterized with regard to pH and temperature profiles and molecular sizes.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of flavoured milk enriched with antioxidative whey protein hydrolysates (WPHs) by radical scavenging method. Whey protein concentrate (WPC) was hydrolyzed by using three commercial proteases; flavouzyme, alcalase and corolase PP and these WPHs were analyzed for degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activities of these WPHs were evaluated using ABTS method. Trolox equivalent antioxidant activity of all the hydrolysates i.e. flavourzyme (0.81 ± 0.04), alcalase (1.16 ± 0.05) and corolase (1.42 ± 0.12) was higher than the WPC (0.19 ± 0.01). Among these, whey protein hydrolysates prepared using corolase showed maximum antioxidant activity. Total 15 β-lactoglobulin, 1 α-lactoalbumin, and 6 β-casein derived peptide fragments were identified in the WPHs by LC-MS/MS. Due to their size and characteristic amino acid composition, all the identified peptides may contribute for the antioxidant activity. The strawberry and chocolate flavoured milk was supplemented with WPC and WPHs and 2 % addition has shown increase in antioxidant activity upto 42 %. The result suggests that WPH could be used as natural biofunctional ingredients in enhancing antioxidant properties of food products.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to use heating method (HM) to prepare liposome without employing any chemical solvent or detergent. Plackett-Burman design (PBD) was applied for the screening of significant process variables including the lecithin proportion, the cholesterol/lecithin ratio, the pH of solution for liposome preparation, the enzyme/lecithin ratio, the stirring time, the process temperature, the speed of stirrer, the ratio of stirrer to the tank diameter, the application of homogenization, the method of adding enzyme and centrifugation conditions on the encapsulation efficiency (EE %) of liposome and the activity of liposomal Flavourzyme (LAPU(-1)) (P < 0.05). Then, the response surface methodology based on the central composite design (CCD) was applied for the evaluation of the impacts of the significant mentioned variables on the EE (%) and the activity of the liposomal Flavourzyme. The results indicated that the lecithin proportion and the stirring time were the major influential variables for both responses. The most suitable formulation of the Flavourzyme-loaded liposome is 4.5 % lecithin, 45 °C temperature, 5 % Flavourzyme/lecithin ratio, 30 min stirring time and medium pH of 6. Under suitable operating conditions, the EE of liposome and the activity of the liposomal Flavourzyme were achieved as 26.5 % and 9.96 LAPU ml(-1), respectively. AFM technique and size distribution clearly showed the diameter of 189 nm for the spherical shape of the Flavourzyme- loaded nanoliposome.

Antioxidant activity and water-holding capacity of canola protein hydrolysates. Food Chem 2007; 109:144-8.

Abstract
Canola protein hydrolysates were prepared using commercial enzymes, namely Alcalase, an endo-peptidase and Flavourzyme with both endo- and exo-peptidase activities. The hydrolysates so prepared were effective as antioxidants in model systems, mainly by scavenging of free radicals and acting as reducing agents. This effect was concentration-dependent and also influenced by the type of enzyme employed in the process. The hydrolysate prepared using flavourzyme showed the highest antioxidant activity among all samples, whereas the hydrolysates prepared by combination of Alcalase and Flavourzyme did not differ significantly (P>0.05) in antioxidant effectiveness from that produced by Alcalase alone. The hydrolysates were also found to be effective in enhancing water-holding capacity and cooking yield in a meat model system. Their capability in improving the cooking yield of meat was in the order of Flavourzyme hydrolysates>combination hydrolysates>Alcalase hydrolysates. These results suggest that canola protein hydrolysates can be useful in terms of their functionality and as functional food ingredients and that their composition determines their functional properties and thus their potential application in the food and feed industries.
