Popis: Antioxidant and renin-angiotensin system (RAS)-inhibitory protein hydrolysates derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of cashew nut (CNP) and fluted pumpkin (FPP) proteins were investigated. The CNP and FPP hydrolysates (CNPH and FPPH) from pepsin or Alcalase treatments were subjected to membrane ultrafiltration using different MWCOs to obtain 10 kDa peptide fractions. Hydrolysis of protein isolates at similar enzyme levels allowed obtaining peptic hydrolysates with a lower degree of hydrolysis (46.7-48.0%) when compared to the Alcalase-produced hydrolysates (47.7-50.3%). Amino acid composition revealed that CNPH had 28% hydrophobic residues when compared to higher contents (32-35%) in the 3-10 kDa peptide fractions. In contrast, aromatic residues increased from 8% in the FPPH to 9-13% in the peptide fractions. The in vitro • OH and DPPH • scavenging activities were significantly (p
