Abstract

<abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="author" id="abs0010"> <title id="sectitle0010">Abstract</title> <sec> <p id="abspara0010">Defatted walnut (<italic>Juglans Sigillata Dode</italic>) meal (DWM) is the main by-product after oil extraction of walnut seed, which contains 40–45% proteins with abundant essential amino acids. In this research, the protein of defatted walnut meal was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis by pancreatin. The hydrolysate was found to possess excellent antioxidant capacities. Also, high cytoprotective activities against H₂O₂-induced oxidative damage to PC12 cells were observed, with 83% cell viability at 0.1 mg/mL of peptides, and no cytotoxicity was detected against native PC12 cells. The peptides could scavenge total reactive oxygen species in rat pheochromocytoma cell line. Defatted walnut meal protein hydrolysates (DWMPH) were isolated and purified by gel filtration chromatography and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. By electron spray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS), the chemical structures of fourteen antioxidant peptides from two fractions were identified, and all of them were novel peptides were found from walnut protein hydrolysate.</p> </sec> </abstract>
