Abstract :
[en] Quinoa, known as an ancient and underutilized crop, holds great promise to be an excellent protein source for its excellent nutritional and bioactive properties. The present study investigated the in silico-based potential bioactivity, in vitro angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity, and in vivo blood pressure-lowering effect of quinoa protein and peptides, thus providing a better understanding of their antihypertensive mechanism and supporting their application in the development of functional foods.
