Corn gluten meal was hydrolyzed by alkaline protease and Flavourzyme to obtain the antioxidant peptides. The antioxidant activities of the hydrolysates or peptides were evaluated by free radical scavenging capacity (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl/2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) diammonium salt/hydroxyl radical/superoxide radical anion), metal ion (Fe2+/Cu2+) chelating activity and lipid peroxidation inhibitory capacity. The hydrolysates were separated by ultrafiltration, and those with molecular weight <10 kDa exhibited highest antioxidant activity in all relevant assays. The hydrolysates were subsequently purified by gel filtration chromatography, and fraction F3 showed the highest antioxidant activity. Three peptides were identified from fraction F3 using LC–ESI–Q–TOF MS/MS as Leu-Pro-Phe (375.46 Da), Leu-Leu-Pro-Phe (488.64 Da) and Phe-Leu-Pro-Phe (522.64 Da). These peptides exhibited good free radical scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation inhibitory effect. Thus, corn gluten meal may be used as a potential source of antioxidant peptides for food and nutraceutical applications.
