Abstract

Asini Corii Colla (ACC) and Taurus Corii Colla (TCC) are well-known for their high nutritional value, especially for medicinal purposes. However, the aforementioned are also potential candidates for adulteration because of their low yield and high price. A UPLC-MS/MS approach based on the specific peptide was proposed to detect adulterated gelatin with possible mixed animal species. To explore the antioxidant activity, the peptides were separated to evaluate their effect on ·OH radical and DPPH· scavenging activity, together with PI3K-AKT pathway activation. The results showed that the peptides had excellent DPPH· and ·OH radical scavenging effects, and could alleviate H2O2-induced oxidative stress by promoting the phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT. According to the results of MALDI-TOF/MS, the shared mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) 1466, 1744 and 2382 may serve as a material basis for the antioxidant activity of both ACC and TCC, and contribute to their traditional tonic effects.
