Nut consumption and age-related disease.
Current knowledge on the effects of nut consumption on human health has rapidly increased in recent years and it now appears that nuts may play a role in the prevention of chronic age-related diseases. Frequent nut consumption has been associated with better metabolic status, decreased body weight as well as lower body weight gain over […]
Physico-chemical properties, antioxidant activities and antihypertensive effects of walnut protein and its hydrolysate
BACKGROUND: Some food proteins hydrolysates are found to possess multiple health effects. In this study, walnut protein (WP) was enzymatically hydrolysed by alcalase and trypsin under optimal conditions. The physico-chemical properties, antioxidant and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of WP, alcalase-generated walnut protein hydrolysate (AWPH) and trypsin-generated walnut protein hydrolysate (TWPH) were comparatively studied. Stability […]
