PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a peptide having angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity by decomposing a protein contained in wakame with a proteolytic enzyme using wakame, a food material taken daily, as a raw material. It is an object of the present invention to provide a safe food composition having a blood pressure lowering effect by producing and using the processed product as a raw material. SOLUTION: When seaweed is degraded by various proteases, it has been found that endo-type enzymes produced by Bacillus sp. Produce peptides having particularly strong angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity, and completed the present invention. That is what led to it. |
