Selective Enrichment of Antibacterial Peptides from Chicken Hemoglobin Hydrolysates by Electrodialysis with Ultrafiltration Membranes (EDUF)

(MIC: 0.04-20.00 mg/mL). Database matching of the fractions identified 22 sequences corresponding to peptides previously reported as bioactive, including ALARL, FDK, LARL, and VVYPW, which have been associated with antioxidant, ACE-inhibitory, antihypertensive, and enzyme-inhibitory properties. Nevertheless, EDUF proved to be an efficient, solvent-free, and low-energy approach for the recovery of peptide fractions from chicken hemoglobin, supporting the potential development of natural bioactive ingredients within a circular bioeconomy. Modifications of EDUF parameters, such as membrane configuration, pH, and voltage, could further enhance peptide selective recovery and the enrichment of functional fractions.
