“…However, DPP-IV inhibitors have been discovered in foods, herbal preparations, natural sources, and traditional Chinese medicines, including phenolic compounds from blueberry–blackberry wine blends [24], alkaloids from seed extract of Castanospermum australe [25], and procyanidins from grape seed [26], all of which have shown good DPP-IV inhibitory activity. Various foods, including milk, fish, wheat gluten, beans, egg, and bivalve mollusks, are natural protein sources; after enzymatic hydrolysis, microbial fermentation, decoction, or some other physical and/or chemical processing, their proteins may be degraded and release various DPP-IV inhibitory peptides [27,28,29,30,31,32].…”
