Peptide extract from Brie cheese was examined. The opioid peptide was isolated from the extract. Its amino acid composition and N‐ and C‐terminal amino acids were determined. Based on these analyses, the isolated peptide was assumed to correspond to β‐casomorphin‐7 (Tyr‐Pro‐Phe‐Pro‐Gly‐Pro‐IIe). The opioid activity was measured by examining the effects of peptide extract and isolated opioid peptide on the motor activity of isolated rabbit intestine. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry
