Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine bioresources are a good source for bioactive compounds due to their unique environment. Antioxidant peptides are recognized as key bioactive compounds from marine bioresources. They can be extracted by several ways and are identified mainly by chromatography and spectroscopic techniques. Accumulating evidence suggests that marine antioxidant peptides with a unique structure show versatile biological activities with a potential health promoting effect. Although many antioxidant peptides are purified and identified from marine bioresources, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of the health benefits offered by them. It is believed that antioxidant peptides play multiple health promoting functions. Thus, it is a great challenge to uncover the exact role that renders these promoting effects. This Special Issue aims to promote research in the field and to update recent advanced knowledge on marine antioxidant peptides.
