Abstract
The influence of ultrasonic pretreatment on the release and antioxidant activity of potential antioxidant peptides after in-vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion of β-lactoglobulin (BLG) were measured by HPLC-MS/MS, chemical and cellular-based assays. The gastrointestinal digest was fractionated into four fractions by Sephadex G-25 gel filtration column, and fractions showed a considerable ABTS·+ scavenging ability. The fraction with the strongest antioxidant activity was produced by ultrasonicated BLG after gastrointestinal digestion, which relies on ultrasonic-promoted proteolysis to produce many small-molecule antioxidant peptides. The best active fraction has better cellular antioxidant activity and protection of H2O2-induced oxidative HepG2 cell model, which significantly increases the activities of antioxidant enzyme, and is concentration-dependent. HPLC-MS/MS analysis showed that there were more potential antioxidant peptides in the best active fraction. This research will provide a basis for the further application of ultrasonic in dairy products, which can promote the release of more potential antioxidant peptides-derived from gastrointestinal digestion.
