The influence of alpha s1-casein proteolysis products of cow milk on the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) has been investigated. The peptide fraction has been obtained after incubation of alpha s1-casein with different strains Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis and pepsin. The peptides with low molecular weight has been obtained with the help of a gel filtration. It is shown, that such peptides received with the help of some strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis and pepsin are capable to inhibit the activity of ACE. A conclusion about possibility of appearing antihypertensive peptides as a result of proteolitic processes in milk products has been made.
