The DH of the hydrolysates ranged from 13.2 to 21.0%, with a protein content varying from 60.7 to 89.5%. The peptide profile of all hydrolysates was very similar, except for the hydrolysate of small-spotted catshark. Their lipid content was found to be between 4.6 and 25.3%. The highest DPPH scavenging activity was found for the hydrolysates of sardine and horse mackerel with EC50 values varying from 0.91 to 1.78 mg protein/mL. Sardine and small-spotted catshark hydrolysates exhibited the highest ferrous chelating activity with an EC50 value of 0.32 mg protein/mL. Moreover, sardine and bogue hydrolysates presented the highest reducing power. Finally, a total of six antioxidant peptides were theoretically identified within the structure of myosin and actin proteins from sardine and small-spotted catshark. The potential antioxidant activity exhibited by the hydrolysates suggests that it is feasible to obtain added-value products such as natural antioxidants from these discarded species.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Spanish National Plan I + D + i (projects CTQ2008-02978 and CTQ2011-23009) and by Santander Bank (grant for young researchers)}, publisher = {ELSEVIER}, keywords = {Discards}, keywords = {Fish protein hydrolysates}, keywords = {Antioxidant activity}, keywords = {DPPH}, keywords = {Fe2+ chelating activity}, keywords = {Reducing power}, title = {Antioxidant activity of protein hydrolysates obtained from discarded Mediterranean fish species}, doi = {10.1016/j.foodres.2014.03.061}, author = {García Moreno, Pedro Jesús and Batista, Irineu and Pires, Carla and Bandarra, Narcisa M. and Guadix Escobar, Antonio María and Guadix Escobar, Emilia María}, }
