Antioxidant and antihypertensive hydrolysates obtained from by-products of cannery sardine and brewing industries.

Hydrolysates with antioxidant and antihypertensive activities were obtained from sarcoplasmic proteins of canned sardine by-product and proteases extracted from Brewer’s spent yeast. Using response surface methodology, hydrolysis time and temperature were selected to achieve the maximum bioactivity. Hydrolysates produced using the substrate/enzyme ratio 1:0.27 (mg/U), 7 h and 50ºC, presenting an angiotensin I-converting enzyme-inhibitory activity of 164 µg protein/mL and an antioxidant activity of 293 μM TE/mL. Experimental results agreed with predicted values within a 95% confidence interval. Within this work the simultaneous valorisation of two agro-industrial by-products was successfully achieved.
