“…Several factors influence the antioxidant activities of food-derived peptides, including the parent protein source, amino acid composition, sequence, chain length, hydrophobicity, and preparation method such enzymatic and microbial hydrolysis [ 18 , 21 ]. Different peptides with antioxidant properties have been produced from enzymatic hydrolysis of milk and plant proteins using a variety of proteases from plant, animal and microbial sources [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Notably, low molecular weight peptides (containing 2–15 amino acid residues) appear to be more bioaccessible and, hence, may potentiate better practical health-promoting effects in vivo [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”
