A review of bioactive peptides as functional food ingredients: mechanisms of action and their applications in active packaging and food quality improvement

Abstract

The creation of bioactive peptides (BPs) from dietary proteins holds considerable promise for the expansion of functional foods and nutraceuticals. BPs have a variety of important roles in the living...

A Review of Bioactive Compound Effects from Primary Legume Protein Sources in Human and Animal Health

“…FDPAL, a soybean-derived BP, has been shown to be capable of scavenging free radicals in vitro [46]. These molecules can also prevent lipid oxidation and reduce microbial growth, making them useful as a food preservative [77]. In pea, the peptides YSSPIHIW, ADLYNPR, HYDSEAILF, AGVLPGIK, and GHYPNPDIEYG were found to have high free radical scavenging rates in silico, while multiple peptides from chickpea were found to have free radical scavenging activity in vitro [53,54,57].…”

Impact of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and casein fortification on angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory peptides in yogurt: identification and in silico analysis

“…5 In recent years, reports on new ACE inhibitors mostly focused on peptide inhibitors obtained from hydrolyzed proteins. 6 ACE inhibitory peptides (ACEIPs) from food-derived proteins have been favored due to their high safety and wide availability. Over the past twenty years, many studies have shown that peptides produced from proteins in food exhibit strong ACE inhibitory activity and a hypotensive effect in vitro and in vivo .…”

The antioxidant peptides from walnut protein hydrolysates and their protective activity against alcoholic injury

“…In recent years, peptides have attracted widespread interest as one of the most important classes of biologically active ingredients. 4 Studies have shown that bioactive peptides have significant physiological benefits, including antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-thrombotic, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, anti-obesity, cholesterol-lowering, immunomodulatory, and mineral binding effects. 5 Additionally, food-derived bioactive peptides also possess preventive and therapeutic functions in a healthy diet.…”
