Abstract:
This antioxidant peptides prepared from rice protein hydrolyzed by Alcalase were characterized for their antioxidant properties in vitro reflected by the abilities to scavenge hydrogen peroxide as well as hydroxyl and DPPH free radicals, to chelate iron ions, and to inhibit autooxidation of linoleic acid.The antioxidant peptides were identified to be Met-Pro-Pro-Ser-Ser- Pro- His (376.68u) , Leu- Ala- Gly- Pro- Lys- Phe- Ala- Leu (408.75u) , and Met-Pro-Arg-His-Asp-Pro-Gln (440.70u) by High Definition Mass Spectrometry (HD-MS) .
