Protein derived from the rotifer Brachionus rotundiformis was hydrolyzed using different proteases (Alcalase, a-chymotrypsin, Neutrase, papain, pepsin and trypsin) for production of antioxidant peptide. Antioxidant activities of hydrolysates were evaluated using DPPH radical scavenging activity. Peptic hydrolysate exhibited the highest antioxidative activity compared to other hydrolysates. To identify antioxidant peptides, peptic hydrolysate was purified using consecutive chromatographic methods, and antioxidant peptides were identified to be Leu-Leu-Gly-Pro-Gly-Leu-Thr-Asn-His-Ala (1076 Da), and Asp-Leu-Gly-Leu-Gly-Leu-Pro-Gly-Ala-His (1033 Da) by Q-TOF ESI mass spectroscopy. EC50 values of purified peptides were 189.8 and 167.7 mu M, respectively. Antioxidant activities of peptides purified from the rotifer protein hydrolysate were evaluated, with results showing that peptides significantly quenched free radicals. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
