Industrial Utilization of Bioactive Hazelnut Peptide Fractions in the Manufacture of Functional Hazelnut Paste: ACE-Inhibition and Allergy Suppression

Purpose Press cakes are the primary by-products of cold press oil manufacture and are characterized with significant concentrations of proteins. Recently, our group has investigated the bioactive attributes of peptide fractions generated from hazelnut cakes and demonstrated their angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activities in vitro. In the current study, bioactive hazelnut peptide fractions were utilized in industrial settings to generate novel food products.
