Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Sixty-six dipeptides were identified in the Moringa oleifera leaf hydrolysates.
- Method / resource Hydrolysis of M. oleifera leaves with 5% KOH and 21% M. oleifera yielded 4.54% total proteins.
- Method / resource Hydrolysis with 5% KOH and 11% Moringa produced the highest degree of hydrolysis, 87.55%.
- Method / resource Hydrolysis with 5% KOH and 11% Moringa produced four tripeptides.
- Method / resource Enzymatic hydrolysis with 10% Alcalase and 11% M. oleifera resulted in a 63.41% degree of hydrolysis.
- Method / resource Enzymatic hydrolysis with 10% Alcalase and 11% M. oleifera led to identification of 41 dipeptides.
- Method / resource Enzymatic hydrolysis with 10% Alcalase and 11% M. oleifera led to identification of 10 tripeptides.
- Observation The Moringa peptides showed potential to inhibit ACE, dipeptidyl peptidase III and IV, renin and glycosidase.
- Observation The Moringa peptides showed antioxidant action and the ability to chelate zinc, iron and calcium.
- Observation The solid residues generated during Moringa leaf hydrolysis were rich in essential minerals.
- Intervention effect Applying the Alcalase hydrolysate to Phaseolus vulgaris seedlings produced a 10% antioxidant response compared with 0.19% in the control.
