Abstract
This study aimed to assess the purification, characterization and toxicity of antioxidative peptides from ultrasonicated chickpea protein hydrolysate (UCPH) by enzymatic hydrolysis. The UCPH was purified sequentially using ultrafiltration and fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC). The < 3 kDa fraction (UCPH-1) from ultrafiltration was further purified using FPLC after demonstrating strong lipid-peroxidation inhibition activity (ferric thiocyanate (FTC): 49.54 % and thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS): 55.42 %). The F6 fraction from FPLC was found to be an F6 peptide (UCPH-1-F6) with an amino acid sequence of MLRVYLR, which demonstrated a greater lipid-peroxidation inhibitory activity (FTC: 55.62 % and TBARS: 62.20 %). The UCPH-1-F6 peptide also showed potent antioxidant properties. In addition, the molecular docking studies showed that the MLRVYLR exhibited hydrogen-bonds interaction with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) by CDOKER. The MLRVYLR showed no toxicity properties to the brine shrimp lethality, which indicates it is a safe peptide. These results suggest that the purified peptide derived from ultrasound chickpea protein hydrolysate has potential antioxidant properties and can be used in functional food, nutraceuticals, and the pharmaceutical industry.
期刊介绍:
Process Biochemistry is an application-orientated research journal devoted to reporting advances with originality and novelty, in the science and technology of the processes involving bioactive molecules and living organisms. These processes concern the production of useful metabolites or materials, or the removal of toxic compounds using tools and methods of current biology and engineering. Its main areas of interest include novel bioprocesses and enabling technologies (such as nanobiotechnology, tissue engineering, directed evolution, metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology) applicable in food (nutraceutical), healthcare (medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic), energy (biofuels), environmental, and biorefinery industries and their underlying biological and engineering principles.
