Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity of Kefir.

Chen Y.P., . and Chen C.M., . and Chen H.L., . and Lin C.W., . (2004) Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activity of Kefir. [Proceedings Paper]

This study was conducted to assay angiotensin converting enzyme ACE inhibitory activity of alcoholic fermented by inoculating kefir grain in bovine and capric milk. We investigated the optimal storage and ripening time for fermenting kefir exhibiting the maximun ACE inhibitory activity. The results showed that ACE inhibitory activity was weak in both bovine and capric kefir during fermentation. However when kefir were stored at 4 C for 1 to 7 days ACE inhibitory activity was improved. When kefir was ripened with kefir grain starter at 4 C and then stored for various periods the ACE inhibitory activity was more strong. The capric kefir with 3-day ripening and 3-day storage reached the maximum ACE inhibitory activity. These results suggested kefir exhibited antihypertensive activity in vitro. Further study will focus on the purification of the ACE inhibitory substances of kefir and the antihypertensive activity in animal model.

Abstract

This study was conducted to assay angiotensin converting enzyme ACE inhibitory activity of alcoholic fermented by inoculating kefir grain in bovine and capric milk. We investigated the optimal storage and ripening time for fermenting kefir exhibiting the maximun ACE inhibitory activity. The results showed that ACE inhibitory activity was weak in both bovine and capric kefir during fermentation. However when kefir were stored at 4 C for 1 to 7 days ACE inhibitory activity was improved. When kefir was ripened with kefir grain starter at 4 C and then stored for various periods the ACE inhibitory activity was more strong. The capric kefir with 3-day ripening and 3-day storage reached the maximum ACE inhibitory activity. These results suggested kefir exhibited antihypertensive activity in vitro. Further study will focus on the purification of the ACE inhibitory substances of kefir and the antihypertensive activity in animal model.
