Abstract;Liver hydrolyzed powder(Liver-Hi) contains the various functional materials, which has bioregulation. Therefore, it is considered that the functional materials are existed in the liver-Hi. The purpose of this study was to search their functional materials, especially angiotensin I-converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory peptides and antioxidant activity. First of all, inhibitory activities against ACE of liver-Hi and their enzymatic hydrolysates were investigated. Liver-Hi was digested by pepsin, trypsin and .ALPHA.-chymotrypsin. After digestion, hydrolysates showed ACE inhibitory activities, and the tryptic hydrolysates showed the strongest activity. The liver-Hi ethanol extract was applied to reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography to separate an active peptide. In the case of A-18 fraction, the molar concentration of liver-Hi peptides required to inhibit 50% of the activity increased markedly(0.268.MU.g/ml). Secondary, the effects of liver-Hi and their enzymatic hydrolysates on antioxidant activities were studied. The DPPH radical scavenging method and the hydroxyl radical scavenging method were used for detecting. The liver-Hi had strong antioxidant activity. The molar concentration of liver-Hi peptides required to inhibit 50% of the activity of DPPH radical scavenging and hydroxyl radical scavenging were 157.MU.g/ml and 135.MU.g/ml, respectively. These results suggested that the porcine liver-Hi was able to show ACE inhibitory activity and antioxidant activity, and that might be a useful source of physiologically functional factors.
