“…Whey has been proposed as a valuable protein matrix for LAB bioactive peptide production (Mercier, Gauthier, & Fliss, 2004;Yalcin, 2006), because its protein content includes β-lactoglobulin, αlactoalbumin, immunoglobulins, bovine serum albumin, bovine lactoferrin, and lactoperoxidase (Madureira, Tavares, Gomes, Pintado, & Malcata, 2010). Also, whey milk has been used for bacteriocins production and has demonstrated to be an excellent substrate (Nakamura et al, 2013;Schirru et al, 2014;de Lima et al, 2017). Whey is just an example of a protein matrix that can serve for bacteriocin and bioactive peptide simultaneous production.…”
