Study on Fermentation Preparation, Stability, and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Activity of Tomato Pomace Peptide

The substantial quantity of discarded tomato pomace (TP) results in the waste of valuable resources. This study utilizes these tomato by-products by mixing them with water in a specific proportion and fermenting the mixture in two stages: first with yeast, and then with lactic acid bacteria. The mos...

description The substantial quantity of discarded tomato pomace (TP) results in the waste of valuable resources. This study utilizes these tomato by-products by mixing them with water in a specific proportion and fermenting the mixture in two stages: first with yeast, and then with lactic acid bacteria. The most suitable microbial strains for TP fermentation were identified by evaluating parameters such as peptide content, degree of hydrolysis, and gel electrophoresis analysis. Subsequently, tomato pomace peptides (TPPs) were separated into peptides of different molecular weights using ultrafiltration. The IC<sub>50</sub> values, ACE inhibitory activities, and in vitro stability of these peptides were compared, and their secondary structures and microstructures were characterized. The results indicated that the soluble protein concentration increased from 26.25 mg/g to 39.03 mg/g after 32 h of fermentation with strain <i>RV171</i>. After an additional 32 h of fermentation with <i>Bifidobacterium thermophilum</i>, the peptide content reached 49.18 ± 0.43%. SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis showed that the TPP molecular weights were predominantly below 10 kDa. The IC<sub>50</sub> results demonstrated that fractions with smaller molecular weights exhibited greater ACE inhibitory activities. Structural analysis confirmed that the TP hydrolysate was indeed a peptide.
