✦ Synopsis

The methanol extract obtained from the leaves and stems of Euphorbia hirta inhibited the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) by 90% and 50% at 500 g and 160 g respectively using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effect of the extract on thirst was examined using Wistar rats. Intraperitoneal administration of 10 mg/100 mg body wt of the extract significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the amount of water consumed by rats. This effect lasted for 2 h.

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Enzymatic proteolysis of food proteins is used to produce peptide fractions with the potential to act as physiological modulators. Fractionation of these proteins by ultrafiltration results in fractions rich in small peptides with the potential to act as functional food
