Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
With the increasing interest in food components, bioactive peptides have garnered significant attention since these peptides, derived from various food sources, exhibit diverse physiological functions including antioxidant, antimicrobial, blood pressure-lowering, and immunomodulatory activities, etc. This Special Issue focuses on (i) the discovery methods and processes of these peptides, involving wet-experiments and dry-experiments; (ii) their functions and mechanisms of action in health and disease management; and (iii) their potential applications in the food industry and medicine. Our aim is to enhance our understanding of these peptides and explore their practical utilization across various domains. Readers can expect a comprehensive overview of the latest research advancements in this field, paving the way for future developments and applications of food-derived bioactive peptides.
