Crude extracts of collagenases from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) hepatopancreas and sierra fish (Scomberomorus sierra) viscera were used to hydrolyse squid muscle collagen into peptides with inhibitory capacity over angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) and ABTS free radicals [2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)], as a measure of their antihypertensive potential and antioxidant activity, respectively. Proteins from 20 to 200 kDa were found in both enzyme extracts; however, in comparison to the jumbo squid extract (JSE), the extraction yield and specific activity of the enzymatic sierra fish extract (SFE) were ≈ 40% greater, suggesting the presence of enzymes with different collagenolytic activity. Moreover, the utilised collagen was obtained with a yield of 0.98 ± 0.09 g/100 g muscle from jumbo squid arms, which after an incubation with JSE and SFE generated peptides with different biological activity. However, the collagen hydrolysates from the enzymatic SFE contained a higher proportion of low-molecular-weight peptides than that obtained from JSE (15.2 and 7.9% of < 3 kDa peptides, respectively). Finally, the antioxidant potential and ACE-inhibitory activity were increased after hydrolysis, being the SFE the one that showed a greater increase of both biological activities (82.28% of ACE inhibition and 64% of ABTS inhibition).
