Summary Effect of radio frequency (RF at 70, 80 and 90 °C) pretreatment on production and characterisation of sweet potato protein hydrolysates (SPPH) prepared using Alcalase (ALC), Protease (PRO) and the combination of ALC + PRO was investigated. RF highly improved degree of hydrolysis (DH) and enhanced antioxidant activity of all SPPH produced by ALC, PRO and the combination as compared to traditional water bath (WB) heating pretreatment ( P < 0.05). RF significantly increased molecular weight (MW) <3 kDa peptide fraction from SPPH produced by ALC, and MW <3 kDa peptide fraction from RF80‐ and RF90‐pretreated samples has higher antioxidant activity. Diverse peptides in MW <3 kDa fractions with RF80 and RF90 pretreatments were identified using LC–QTOF–MS/MS, which matched the sequences of sporamins and contained antioxidant amino acids Trp, Tyr, Met, Phe and/or His. There is a great potential application of using SPPH in functional foods as a novel ingredient.
