Abstract
The aim of this study was to isolate antioxidant peptides from egg white protein hydrolysates (EWPH) and identify novel antioxidant peptides by LC tandem mass spectrometric and mid-infrared spectroscopy (MIR). The amino acid composition of peptides was also analyzed by amino acid analyzer on the basis of ninhydrin reaction. Three novel peptides with molecular weights of 628.64Da, 630.71Da, and 684.1Da were identified as Asp–His–Thr–Lys–Glu (DHTKE), Phe–Phe–Glu–Phe–His (FFGFN) and Met–Pro–Asp–Ala–His–Leu (MPDAHL), respectively. DHTKE exhibited the best oxygen radical absorbance capacity (P<0.05). The concentration of FFGFN and MPDAHL to scavenge 50% of DPPH radicals was 80mM and 60mM, respectively. Thus, the three peptides may have potential applications as a functional food, which could also be used as nutraceutical compounds.
