Bioactive Protein and Peptides; A Potential Pharma Ingredient for 21st Century Functional Foods
Journal Title: Nursing & Healthcare International Journal - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Bioactive peptides have upsurge advancement in food and health domains in recent years. This was driven by the understanding of amino acid structure and functions in plant and animal as bioactive peptide sources. The food functionality of plant and animal peptides bioactivities are driven by their function -structure relationships. The interplay between function-structure of protein polypeptides from native state to denature state has opened new research waveband much needed innovative ingredient or recipes to formulate functional foods on our shelves, however, this is far more important than pharmaceutical drugs but now as décor food or pharma foods. Application of peptides ingredient for making functional foods so as to develop, utilize, manage population, family and the individual in chronic disease and health conditions were emphasized. Aligning ingestion of bioactive peptides, enveloped as functional foods with circadian rhythm and metabolic curves within appropriate time scale for enhanced nutrition could maximize absorption, utilization, and metabolic responses. Hence, the use and potential of functional foods for individual and societal interventions and the overall societal health scale up.
