Many naturally occurring compounds from foods such as rice,
vegetables, fruits, and animal products possess properties that
help to slow disease progression, inhibit pathophysiological
mechanisms, or suppress activities of pathogenic molecules.
Proteins and peptides play significant roles in such activities and
are gaining importance as nutraceuticals that benefit numerous
aspects of health and nutrition. Bioactive Food Proteins and
Peptides: Applications in Human Health provides a human health
perspective on food-derived proteins and peptides. It describes the
potential for large-scale production with advances in technology
and proposes challenges and opportunities for the future of health,
nutrition, medicine, and the biosciences. The book begins by
addressing properties related to chemistry and bioactivity. It
examines proteins and peptides as allergens, antihypertensive
agents, antimicrobials, antioxidants, and anticancer agents. It
also discusses findings on the bioavailability and toxicity of
food-derived peptides and intestinal functions. Next, the
contributors present information on therapeutic peptides. They
discuss recent developments in proteomics, bioavailability, and
opportunities for designing future peptide-based foods. Providing a
comprehensive review of bioactive proteins and peptides obtained
from food sources, the book brings together the most up-to-date and
essential information from eminent researchers from all over the
world. Academics, food scientists and technologists, nutritionists,
biochemists, persons in industry, and government researchers and
regulators will find this book to be an essential resource for new
data and developments.
