“…The peanut by-product after oil extraction contains 47-55% protein, which contains significant amounts of essential amino acids and other potentially valuable ingredients (Basha & Pancholy, 1982;Beuchat, Cherry, & Quinn, 1975;Radha, Kumar, & Prakash, 2007). Functional properties such as emulsifying, foaming, solubility, water adsorption, antioxidant activity, and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition of peanut proteins have been reported (Govindaraju & Srinivas, 2006;Monterio & Prakash, 1994;Mouécoucou, Villaume, Sanche, & Méjean, 2004), while it was found that some proteins subjected to combined high-pressure treatment and subsequent hydrolysis exhibited good bioactivities such as the antigenicity of bovine whey protein, antibody binding of whey protein, immunochemical activity of soybean whey and ACE-inhibitory properties of ovalbumin (Chicón, Belloque, Alonso, & López-Fandiño, 2009;Peñas, Préstamo, Baeza, Martínez-Molero, & Gomez, 2006;Peñas, Préstamo, Polo, & Gomez, 2006;Peñas, Snel, Floris, Préstamo, & Gomez, 2006;Quirós, Chicón, Recio, & López-Fandiño, 2007). Till this date, little information has been available on the influence of HPH treatment in combination with enzymatic hydrolysis on the hydrolysates of peanut protein isolate (PPI) in relation to their functional properties and bioactivities.…”
