Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and antioxidant peptides are receiving attention due to
their beneficial effects in the prevention/treatment of hypertension. The objective was to explore the
effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HP) on proteolysis by different proteases and the release of bioactive
peptides from lentil proteins. Pressurisation (100–300 MPa) enhanced the hydrolytic efficiency of Protamex,
Savinase and Corolase 7089 compared to Alcalase. Proteolysis at 300 MPa led to a complete degradation
of lentil proteins and increased peptide (
