Abstract

The oil from sacha inchi is one type of oil which is very popular, especially among health-conscious people. However, after the oil extraction process, 50% of meal (residue) from the initial material remained, which is high in protein. This seems suitable to produce protein hydrolysate and peptide which is beneficial in bioactivity. This research aimed to produce the protein hydrolysate and peptide, which are good sources of antioxidants and have a biochemical effect to restrain the enzyme causing chronic diseases while also adding the value to the sacha inchi meal. Enzymatic hydrolysate was extracted from sacha inchi meal protein isolate by using flavourzyme. The sacha inchi protein hydrolysate (SPH) was further fractionated into peptide sizes of 1, 3, 5 and 10 kDa using membrane ultrafiltration. The <1 kDa peptides exhibited significantly better (p<0.05) diphenyl-1-picryhydradzyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities when compared to peptide fractions of higher molecular weights. The high activity of <1 kDa peptides in these antioxidant assay systems may be related to the high levels of total hydrophobic and aromatic amino acids. In comparison to glutathione, the SPH and its membrane fractions had higher ability to chelate metal ions. In addition, the <1 kDa peptides had the greatest ACE-inhibition (Hypertension), DPP-IV inhibition (Type 2 Diabetes), α-amylase
inhibition and α-glucosidase inhibition (Obesity) an IC50 value of 1.56, 2.31, 3.77 and 1.84 mg/ml, respectively. Antioxidant activities and enzyme inhibition were determined by the molecular weight and amino acid from peptide fractions.
