Author Description

"Food-derived functional peptides are bioactive molecules obtained from dietary proteins, which exist in food proteins through specific amino acid sequences. Upon protein degradation, these peptides are released and acquire physiological activity during the process. With abundant natural protein resources and industrial scalability, food-derived peptides have gained significant attention due to their high safety profile. Recent scientific advancements have revealed that these bioactive peptides, as functional fragments of proteins, not only supply essential nutrients for growth and development but also exhibit unique physiological characteristics compared to intact proteins"-- Provided by publisher.
