Description
Summary:•ACE-inhibitory peptides were purified from Ulva rigida protein enzymatic hydrolysate.•The purified active peptides were small, having amino acid sequences of IP and AFL.•The IP and AFL peptides were stable against temperature.•AFL is hydrolysed by intestinal mucosa peptidases to a strong ACE-inhibitor dipeptide.•The IP and AFL may have potential use to develop anti-hypertension nutraceuticals. Ulva rigida protein was hydrolysed with pepsin plus bromelain after a screening of nine enzymes for optimal proteolysis. This hydrolysate, presenting ACE-inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.483 mg/mL, was fractionated by ultrafiltration membranes into three molecular weight ranges (3 kDa). The
