Abstract

A low-molecular-weight peptide with potent antioxidative activity was obtained from Mytilus coruscus muscle protein using an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion system. The potent antioxidant peptide, which was identified as Leu-Val-Gly-Asp-Glu-Gln-Ala-Val-Pro-Ala-Val-Cys-Val-Pro (1.59 kDa), exhibit...
