Fungal peptides, examples

Pancreatic enzymes, preferably trypsin, have been used for the chemical characterisation and identification of many known bioactive peptides. For example, ACE-inhibitory peptides as well as CPPs are most commonly produced by trypsin (Maruyama and Suzuki, 1982 Berrocal et al., 1989). On the other hand, other enzymes and different enzyme combinations of proteinases, including alcalase, chymotrypsin, pancreatin and pepsin, as well as enzymes from bacterial and fungal sources have also been utilised to generate bioactive peptides. Higher yields of CPPs and, particularly, higher amounts of asl-casein f(59-79) in the hydrolysate have been obtained with casein micelles successively digested with pepsin and trypsin...
