Implication

Demonstrates the optimization of hydrolysis to generate bioactive peptides in Moringa oleifera, highlighting their antioxidant and biostimulant effects.

Key Points

The research aimed to optimize hydrolysis processes for extracting bioactive di- and tripeptides from Moringa oleifera leaves.
Applied alkaline and enzymatic hydrolysis using Alcalase® and assessed with full factorial response surface design.
Evaluated independent variables including Moringa mass and reagent concentration alongside protein content and degree of hydrolysis.
Identified peptides through liquid chromatography and assessed antioxidant activity using DPPH assays.
Identified a total of 66 dipeptides and 33 tripeptides with potential biological activity.
Achieved a maximum degree of hydrolysis of 87.55% with specific alkaline conditions, enhancing peptide yield.
Demonstrated increased antioxidant activity in Phaseolus vulgaris seedlings treated with the hydrolysate, indicating its biostimulant potential.
