Abstract

Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition is one of the key factors for cardiovascular disease, and inhibition of ACE activity is related to the prevention of high blood pressure. Until now, some ACE inhibitory peptides have been found in the protein hydrolysates of red algae, and most of them were derived from phycobiliproteins and rubisco. In this study, we modified the preparation method to evaluate the potential of ACE inhibitory activity from protein hydrolysate of red alga Mazzaella japonica except for phycobiliproteins and rubisco. As a result, we identified 11 peptides (YRD, VSEGLD, TIMPHPR, GGPAT, SSNDYPI, SRIYNVKSNG, VDAHY, CPYDWV, YGDPDHY, NLGN and DFGVPGHEP) in the hydrolysate by the reversed phase-HPLC and MALDI-TOF/MS/MS. Among them, YRD would be derived from phycoerythrin α-subunit. However, the others would be from other proteins encoded in chloroplast or nuclear genomes. This study revealed that not only phycobiliproteins and rubisco but also the other proteins in red algae have the potential for the source of ACE inhibitory peptide.

  • Peptides from Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis, Mazzaella japonica, and Ulva intestinalis contribute to ACE inhibition and cardiovascular health.

    “Other promising peptides have been identified from Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis, Mazzaella japonica (Rhodophyta), and Ulva intestinalis (Chlorophyta), each contributing to ACE inhibition and cardiovascular health [58–60].”

    From Navigating the potential of algal peptides: health effects, market applications, and scientific challenges (2026) · cites this paper as [58]

    The Results (§6, page not available) report ACE-inhibitory activity in fractions of a Mazzaella japonica protein hydrolysate and identify peptides in those fractions. The Introduction links ACE inhibition to blood-pressure control, but the paper reports no human or animal studies, so a contribution to cardiovascular health is not established. This citation supports the Mazzaella japonica portion of the multi-source sentence, not claims about the other algae. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
