    Abstract:
    Cyclic dipeptides (2,5-diketopiperazines) are present in a variety of foods and are reported to demonstrate antioxidant, antidepressant, and other beneficial effects. We recently developed a novel collagen hydrolysate characterized by a high content of X-hydroxyproline (Hyp)-Gly-type tripeptides using ginger protease. In the present study, we found that, through heating, X-Hyp-Gly can be easily converted into Hyp-containing cyclic dipeptides. After heating for 3 h at 85 °C and pH 4.8, Ala-Hyp-Gly was almost completely cyclized to cyclo(Ala-Hyp), in contrast to a slight cyclization of Ala-Hyp. The contents of cyclo(Ala-Hyp) and cyclo(Leu-Hyp) reached 0.5-1% (w/w) each in the ginger-degraded collagen hydrolysate under the heating conditions. Oral administration experiments using mice revealed that cyclo(Ala-Hyp) and cyclo(Leu-Hyp) were absorbed into the blood at markedly higher efficiencies compared to collagenous oligopeptides, including Pro-Hyp. The high productivity and oral bioavailability of the collagen-specific cyclic dipeptides suggest significant health benefits of the heat-treated ginger-degraded collagen hydrolysate.
