Bioactive food proteins and peptides

With a human health perspective, this book discusses food-derived proteins and peptides in relation to advances in technology, and challenges and opportunities their research presents in the areas of health, nutrition, medicine and bioscience. A first section addresses chemistry and bioactivity. It looks at proteins-peptides as allergens, antihypertensive agents, antimicrobials, antioxidants, and anti-cancer agents. Findings on the bioavailability and toxicity offood-derived peptide and intestinal functions are also included. Section Two involves chapters on therapeutic peptides, including recent developments in proteomics, bioavailability, and opportunities for designing future peptides-based foods.
