Abstract: 【Objective】 The aim of this study is to develop an effective preparation process for obtaining highly active antioxidant peptide derived from wheat germ albumin using two-step dual-enzymatic hydrolysis. 【Method】 A two-step dual-enzymatic hydrolysis and separation were employed to screen the antioxidant peptide (AOP) from wheat germ albumin. The in vitro AOP’s antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging activity and Fe2+ chelating ability assays. The hydrolysate derived from tryptic hydrolysis of wheat germ albumin was fractionated by ultrafiltration according to molecular weight; then the fractions with high antioxidant capacity were further isolated by gel filtration chromatography (Sephadex G-75). After that, the fraction with higher antioxidant activity was further hydrolyzed by an alcalase, and the hydrolysate was subjected to purification by Sephadex G-15 gel filtration chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC), respectively. The highest antioxidant fraction was achieved and the structure was identified by ESI-TOF MS/MS. 【Result】 Hydrolysate derived from tryptic hydrolysis of wheat germ albumin was fractionated by ultrafiltration according to molecular weight. Three fractions, Pa, Pb and Pc were obtained from the fraction with high antioxidant capacity. The fraction Pb showed the strongest antioxidant activity evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging activity and Fe2+ chelating ability assays and its extraction yield was 23.1%. The fraction Pb which had the highest antioxidant activity was further hydrolyzed by an alcalase, and the hydrolysate was subjected to gel filtration chromatography (Sephadex G-15) and two more groups, Pd and Pe were obtained. The extraction yield of fraction Pd which had higher antioxidant capacity was 52.1%. After further purification by RP-HPLC, five fractions, P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 were separated from the fraction Pd, and the fraction P3 exhibited the highest antioxidant activity with the in vitro EC50 values of DPPH radical scavenging activity at 1 mg/ml and Fe2+ chelating ability at 0.6 mg/ml, respectively. The extraction yield of the fraction P3 was 7.3% in RP-HPLC step. Finally, employing the electrospray ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometer (ESI-TOF MS/MS), the structure of the fraction P3 was identified. Its amino acids sequence, molecular weight and purity were AREGETVVPG, 1013.51Da and 85%, respectively. Consistently, the antioxidant capacity of the synthetic peptide with the same sequences ( purity ≥95%) showed the similar activity to the fraction P3 (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 The preparation process of a two-step dual-enzymatic hydrolysis in combination with ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography, and RP-HPLC was effective in separation, screen and purification of a highly active antioxidant peptide.
