Lupin-derived compounds having hypotensive activity and process for their production

It is provided a production process (1) for compounds having hypotensive activity adapted to be used for preparing foods, drinks and dietary supplements; said production process (1) being adapted to obtain compounds having hypotensive activity (10) from processing/working of Lupinus seeds (11) and comprising an extraction step (3) in which a protein solution (13) is obtained from the seeds; and a hydrolysis step (4) in which the proteins of the protein solution (13) are fragmented thus obtaining the compounds having hypotensive activity (10), which consist of peptides of a molecular weight lower than 3000 Da and having an aromatic or hydrophobic amino acid as the terminal group so as to determine an IC 50 lower than 1000 [mu]g/mL.
