Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is rich in antihypertensive compounds. This study investigated the effect of lactic-fermented buckwheat sprouts (neo-FBS) on level, identification, and potency of blood pressure-lowering (BPL) compounds. A single oral dose of 1.0 mg/kg body weight buckwheat sprouts (BS) in spontaneously hypertensive rats did not show significant BPL activity, whereas neo-FBS significantly decreased blood pressure. HPLC of neo-FBS identified two peaks absent in the profile of BS. The peak exhibiting potent BPL activity was fractionated, and six peptides (DVWY, FDART, FQ, VAE, VVG, and WTFR) and tyrosine were identified by LC-MS/MS and Edman degradation. Single oral dose administration of the peptides revealed significant BPL effect of all the peptides, with the most potent being DVWY, FQ, and VVG. DVWY, VAE, and WTFR are novel. This study demonstrates that lactic fermentation of BS produces new, highly potent antihypertensive peptides and increases active compounds GABA and tyrosine already present in BS.
