Bioinformatic tools are widely used in predicting potent bioactive peptides from food derived materials. This study was focused on utilizing sea cucumber processing by-products for generating antioxidant and ACE inhibitory peptides by application of a range of in silico techniques. Identified peptides using LC-MS/MS were virtually screened by PepRank technique followed by in silico proteolysis simulation with representative digestive enzymes using BIOPEP-UWMTM data base tool. The resultant peptides after simulated digestion were evaluated for their toxicity using ToxinPred software. All digestive resistance peptides were found to be non-toxic and displayed favorable functional properties indicating their potential for use in a wide range of food applications, including hydrophobic and hydrophilic systems. Identified peptides were further assessed for their medicinal characteristics by employing SwissADME web-based application. Our findings provide an insight on potential use of undervalued sea cucumber processing discards for functional food product development and natural pharmaceutical ingredients attributed to the oral drug discovery process.
