A novel angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptide derived from the trypsin hydrolysates of salmon bone proteins

PLOS ONE

Dear Dr. Karnchanatat,

Thank you for submitting your manuscript to PLOS ONE. After careful consideration, we feel that it has merit but does not fully meet PLOS ONE’s publication criteria as it currently stands. Therefore, we invite you to submit a revised version of the manuscript that addresses the points raised during the review process.

Please submit your revised manuscript by May 06 2021 11:59PM. If you will need more time than this to complete your revisions, please reply to this message or contact the journal office at plosone@plos.org. When you're ready to submit your revision, log on to https://www.editorialmanager.com/pone/ and select the 'Submissions Needing Revision' folder to locate your manuscript file.

Please include the following items when submitting your revised manuscript:

  • A rebuttal letter that responds to each point raised by the academic editor and reviewer(s). You should upload this letter as a separate file labeled 'Response to Reviewers'.
  • A marked-up copy of your manuscript that highlights changes made to the original version. You should upload this as a separate file labeled 'Revised Manuscript with Track Changes'.
  • An unmarked version of your revised paper without tracked changes. You should upload this as a separate file labeled 'Manuscript'.

If you would like to make changes to your financial disclosure, please include your updated statement in your cover letter. Guidelines for resubmitting your figure files are available below the reviewer comments at the end of this letter.

If applicable, we recommend that you deposit your laboratory protocols in protocols.io to enhance the reproducibility of your results. Protocols.io assigns your protocol its own identifier (DOI) so that it can be cited independently in the future. For instructions see: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/submission-guidelines#loc-laboratory-protocols

We look forward to receiving your revised manuscript.

Kind regards,

Please use the space provided to explain your answers to the questions above. You may also include additional comments for the author, including concerns about dual publication, research ethics, or publication ethics. (Please upload your review as an attachment if it exceeds 20,000 characters)

Reviewer #1: Authors have presented a process of enzymatic hydrolysis of salmon bone with trypsin for production of ACE inhibitory peptides. Authors should correct some of the mistakes in the English of the manuscript. Authors should discuss the similar studies (e.g., Fu-Yuan Cheng et al., 2009; Fatemeh Mahmoodani et al., 2014; Isabel Rodríguez Amado et al., 2014, etc.) on bone hydrolysis for peptide production, and difference from the present findings should be emphasized.

Conclusion should be more concise.

Title: A novel angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptide derived from the trypsin hydrolysates of salmon bone proteins

General Comments

Thanakrit, et al., extracted a novel angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptide from the trypsin hydrolysates of salmon bone proteins. The objectives of manuscript are clear but needs extensive details on its background of the research and goal. As well, some points in the results and discussion part are incomprehensible and require an in-depth explanation.

Authors should answer following questions before publication

1. The manuscript title not providing informative details on the study carried out

2. English polishing is required before publishing this manuscript

3. Introduction is too vague and descriptive; it must be concise and informative considering aims and objectives of the study

4. For proximate analysis provide AOAC updated methods from 2000 onwards.

5. In every section the authors provided too much descriptive information on each study point, they should provide specific and concrete details on each parameter studied.

6. Some data must provide as supplementary files
