Summary: This study investigated changes in the amino acid composition during fermentation of jack bean tempe and its effect on the inhibitory action of angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) of the peptides produced after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The composition of amino acids was determined in jack bean unfermented (F0) and fermented for 48 h (F48) or 72 h (F72). Fermentation for 48 h did not increase the content of hydrophobic amino acids, but prolonging it to 72 h resulted in a significant increase. In the digestion simulation experiment, the hydrolysis level in all samples increased sharply after the addition of pancreatin. Moreover, the high degree of protein hydrolysis did not necessarily result in high ACE inhibitory activity. Furthermore, all hydrolysates were dominated by peptides with a molecular weight of ?14 kDa. It can be concluded that the increase in the content of hydrophobic amino acids in jack bean tempe fermented for 72 h improved the ACE inhibition of peptides generated after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, with the inhibitory value being 88.2?%.
