Purification and characterization of angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitory peptides from jellyfish Rhopilema esculentum

Two angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides were isolated from jellyfish Rhopilema esculentum protein hydrolysates prepared with pepsin and papain. Consecutive purification methods, including ion-exchange chromatography, size-exclusion chromatography and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, were used for isolation of ACE inhibitory peptides. The amino acid sequence of the peptides was identified as...
