Abstract

Angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory peptides lowering blood pressure were fractionated from a commercial soybean paste(Doenjang). When the freeze-dried sample of soybean paste was extracted with cold water, the recovery yield of total nitrogen(TN) was shown to be 73.3% in 30 minutes. The cold water extract was filtered through PM-10 membrane(Amicon) for 3 hours in order to remove high molecular weight polypeptides. The TN and salt of ultrafiltrate were recovered to 80.8% and 99.2%, respectively, and its ACE $IC_{50}$ was $41.8{\mu}g/ml$. When the ultrafiltrate was divided into 7 fractions by reverse phase prep-HPLC, F5 fraction showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}=6.8{\mu}g/ml$) and salt could be collected into F1 fraction. Subsequently, the F5 fraction was divided into another five fractions by ion exchange prep-HPLC, all of which appeared to be high ACE inhibitory activity($IC_{50}=2.5{\sim}8.3{\mu}g/ml$). Among them, F53 fraction had the highest ACE inhibitory activity, and its main amino acid component was found to be histidine.

식품 유래의 생리활성 peptide를 분리할 목적으로 전통발효식품인 된장으로부터 혈압강하기능을 가지는 ACE(angiotensin converting enzyme)저해활성 peptide를 분획하였다. 시판 된장의 동결건조분말을 냉수로 추출했을 때 총질소의 회수율은 추출시간 30분에 73.3%를 보였다. 용매추출액에서 고분자 polypeptide를 제거하고 저분자 peptide만을 얻기 위해 PM-10 membrane(Amicon)을 이용하여 3시간 동안 한외여과한 결과, 질소성분의 회수율은 80.8%, 염의 회수율은 99.2%에 달했고 투과액의 ACE $IC_{50}$$41.8{\mu}g/ml$이었다. 한외여과 투과액을 reverse phase prep-HPLC로 분획하여 7개의 획분을 얻었으며, 그 중 F5분획물의 ACE저해활성이 $IC_{50}=6.8{\mu}g/ml$로 비활성이 가장 높았다. 염은 F1분획물에서 모두 회수되었다. F5분획물을 ion exchange prep-HPLC로 다시 분획하여 얻은 5개의 모든 획분에서 높은 비활성을 보였다($IC_{50}=2.5{\sim}8.3{\mu}g/ml$). 그 중 F53분획물의 비활성이 가장 높았으며($IC_{50}=2.5{\mu}g/ml$), F53의 구성아미노산 분석 결과 histidine의 함량이 특징적으로 높았다.
