The aim of this project was to study the activity of fish proteins and isolate, clarify and define peptides with antihypertensive properties. During the project time methods and equipment to be able to do this were set up at Matis facilities. This includes method to measure ACE inhibition activity as well as filtration and fractionation units to isolate different fractions of peptides. Furthermore peptides have been identified in the most active fraction by using HPLC and Maldi-ToF equipment in collaboration with the University of Iceland. With this extensive tool box of knowhow, equipment and facilities, development of valuable fish products and nutraceuticals from blood pressure-lowering peptides is possible. Thereby the value of the Icelandic natural resources in the sea can be increased.
