Antioxidant Peptides from Tiger Nut (<i>Cyperus esculentus</i> L.): Chemical Analysis and Cytoprotective Functions on HepG2 and Caco-2 Cells by Yu Quan, Lin Chen, Meiqi Fan, Xia Zhao, Jianxiong Hao

“…The tiger nut peptides (TNP) were found to perform excellent antioxidant activity supported by their chemical and cell antioxidant behaviors, amino acid composition, and morphological observation. Higher 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity (DPPH• RSA, 64.05–124.07%) and ferric ion-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP, 0.17–1.78 μmol/mL) were observed in the TNP with more hydrophobic amino acids (41.77 ± 1.36 g/100 g) compared with traditional soybean and peanut peptides. …”
