Abalone viscera, which accounts for more than 20% of body weight, is typically discarded. With increases in abalone aquaculture production, novel uses for abalone viscera are needed. Here, we evaluated the effects of abalone viscera fermented with Lactiplantibacillus pentosus SN001 on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity and blood pressure elevation in spontaneously hypertensive rats. The fermented product significantly reduced systolic blood pressure compared with the control. There were no significant differences in blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels; alanine aminotransferase activity; and aspartate aminotransferase activity between the fermented product and control groups. Uracil was isolated and identified from the fermented product. Uracil may be the active component. Overall, L. pentosus SN001-fermented abalone viscera showed sustained inhibitory effects on blood pressure elevation but did not alter blood components after long-term intake. These results provide insights into the safety of L. pentosus SN001-fermented abalone viscera as a food product.
