Optimizing Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Activity of Pacific Hake (Merluccius productus) Fillet Hydrolysate Using Response Surface Methodology and Ultrafiltration
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The in vitro angiotensin I-converting enyzme (ACE) inhibitory activity of Pacific hake hydrolysates was investigated as a function of hydrolysis conditions, starting material variability, and ultrafiltration. Hake fillets were hydrolyzed using Protamex protease under various conditions of pH, hydrolysis time, and enzyme-to-substrate ratio (% E/S) according to a response surface methodology (RSM) central composite design. The hydrolysate produced at pH 6.5, 125 min, and 3.0% E/S had an IC 50 of 165 +/- 9 microg of total solids/mL. ACE-inhibitory activity was not significantly different (P < 0.05) for hydrolysates produced using higher time-enzyme combinations within the model or from fish of different catches. Ultrafiltration (10 kDa molecular mass cutoff) resulted in an IC50 value of 44 +/- 7 microg of peptides/mL, 2.5 times more potent than the commercial product PeptACE Peptides (IC50 = 114 +/- 8 microg of peptides/mL). These results suggest that hydrolysates prepared with minimal fractionation from Pacific hake, an undervalued fish, may be a commercially competitive source of ACE-inhibitory peptides.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
