In vitro, ex vivo and in vivo antihypertensive evaluation of enzymatic hydrolysates of Californian red worm (Eisenia fetida) proteins

Optimization of fractionation with membranes of antioxidant enzymatic hydrolysate of Californian red worm (Eisenia fetida) protein

“…Additionally, these antioxidant activities are superior to those reported by Sierra and Zapata (2021) in the optimization of the conditions of the enzymatic hydrolysis of protein extracted from red tilapia scales ( Oreochromis Spp. ), indicating that the permeate (fraction <3 kDa) of Californian red worm hydrolysate shows potential for supplementation in different matrices as an antioxidant alternative [ 48 , 49 ].…”

“…The biological activities identified are primarily linked to these proteins and the peptides derived from them. Moreover, the methodologies employed in protein extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis, and tangential ultrafiltration indicate that these bioactivities are likely attributable to peptides derived from proteins [ 18 , 33 , 49 ].
