Goat whey fermentation by Kluyveromyces marxianus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus release tryptophan and tryptophan-lactokinin from a cryptic zone of alpha-lactalbumin

Abstract
Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors peptides were produced from unsupplemented acid goat whey fermented aerobically for 168 h by Kluyveromyces marxianus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus. This yeast-lactobacillus association is GRAS. Two novel lactokinins were identified: NYW and W with IC50 of 20 and 0·86 μm respectively. They both were resistant toward simulated gastrointestinal digestion. In addition, WLAHK was found in the hydrolysate. These three sequences belong to f(99–110) of α-la which seems to be a lactokinin cryptic zone. W was the major molecule released by the fermentation process. Considering that W is the precursor of serotonin, the hydrolysate produced could be of interest for the generation of functional health ingredient involved in regulation of affective disorders and hypertension.
