Release of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides from milk protein isolate (MPI) during enzymatic hydrolysis.

The release of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitory peptides from bovine milk protein isolate (MPI) during trypsin hydrolysis was studied using a design of experiments (DOE) approach. A 3 factor×3 level DOE including temperature (40, 50 and 60°C), enzyme to substrate ratio (E:S; 0.50, 1.25 and 2.00% (w/w)) and hydrolysis time (60, 150 and 240min) was used during the generation of 15 hydrolysates (H1-H15). The degree of hydrolysis (DH) varied between 6.98±0.31 (H8) to 12.75±0.62% (H10). The DPP-IV half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC
