Identification of bioactive peptides from brewers’ spent grain and contribution of Leu/Ile to bioactive potency

Brewer's spent grain (BSG) is a co-product of the brewing industry and is a potentially rich source of bioactive peptides. A BSG protein hydrolysate, manufactured at a semi-pilot scale, mediated significant hypotensive effects 6 h after ingestion in spontaneously hypertensive rats. This hydroly...
