Application

  • Development of functional foods and dietary supplements with health benefits, such as antimicrobial, antihypertensive, and antiobesity effects.
  • Utilization in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing treatments.

Description

This project focuses on bioactive peptides, which are biologically active molecules derived from protein structures. It explores various methods for producing bioactive peptides, such as enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial fermentation. The applications of these peptides include antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antioxidant, antiobesity, and antiaging effects. The article also discusses their mechanisms of action and future perspectives for their use in medicine, nutrition, and cosmetics.

Pathway Description:

The process used in this project involves the production of bioactive peptides primarily through enzymatic hydrolysis. Enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin, bromelain, and others are used to break down proteins from various food sources like milk, soybeans, wheat, and fish into bioactive peptides. These peptides are then isolated and purified for their therapeutic applications. The hydrolysis process can be optimized for specific peptides using controlled conditions and enzyme selection.
