The Jatropha curcas cake, a protein-rich by-product of biofuel production, was the subject of our study. We identified and quantified the ACE inhibitory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic activities of bioactive peptides from a Jatropha curcas L. var Sevangel protein isolate. The protein isolate (20.44%...
