A growing body of scientific evidence has revealed that many food
peptides exhibit specific biological activities in addition to
their established nutritional value. Bioactive peptides present in
foods may help reduce the worldwide epidemic of chronic diseases
that account for a great number of premature deaths annually.
Bioactive peptides can be defined as isolated small fragments of
proteins which provide some physiological health benefits. They act
as potential modifiers reducing the risk of many chronic diseases.
Bioactive Peptides from Food: Sources, Analysis, and Functions
considers fundamental concepts, sources, hydrolysis, fractionation,
purification, analysis, chemical synthesis, functions, and
regulatory status of nutraceutical bioactive peptides. Methods of
isolation of these peptides from different protein sources with
their in vitro and vivo physiological effects are addressed.
Divided into seven sections, this book delves into how these
peptides play a major role in the development of various functional
foods. Numerous bioactive peptides have been reported in recent
years as naturally present or generated from food proteins of
different origins like milk, eggs, soya, fish, and meat. Key
Features: Includes a detailed study of the different sources of
bioactive peptides Discusses the health benefits, such as
antimicrobial, antiallergic, antihypertensive, antitumor, and
immunomodulatory properties of peptides Explorates the state of the
art analysis methods of peptides Discovers the bioinformatics of
possible bioactive peptides Written by experts in their field from
around the world, Bioactive Peptides from Food reveals the world of
databases of peptides. It is a great resource for food scientists,
technologists, chemists, nutrition researchers, producers, and
processors working in the whole food science and technology field
as well as those who are interested in the development of
innovative functional products.
