Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, the discovery of various food-derived proteins (peptides) from animal sources, plant sources, marine sources, and microbial sources, their activity evaluation, and food product creation continue to attract attention. Of particular interest are their immune-enhancing functions, antioxidant function, auxiliary improvement of memory function, sleep function, relief of physical fatigue, regulation of body fat, improvement of bone density, and maintenance of blood lipids, blood sugar, blood pressure and levels of other aspects of healthy blood.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We sincerely invite you to submit your comments on the topic of "Food-Derived Functional Proteins/Peptides: Discovery, Activity Evaluation and Protection, Ingredients Production Technology and Application".
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Development of new functional proteins and active protein peptides
- Structure-activity relationship of functional proteins (peptides)
- Digestive properties, absorption and bioavailability and its molecular mechanism of action
- Product development and quality control of food-derived proteins (peptides)
