Identification of a Novel ACE-inhibitory Peptide from Sheep Casein and Evaluation of the Molecular Binding Mechanism

The purpose of this study was to prepare a novel Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme(ACE) inhibitory peptide by hydrolyzing sheep casein with protease and analyze its molecular inhibitory mechanism, so as to provide technical support for the development of functional sheep milk polypeptide dairy products. In this experiment, sheep casein was used as raw material, with hydrolysis degree, ACE inhibition rate and molecular weight distribution as indexes, the most suitable protease was selected from four proteases, and the components with less than
