Food Proteins and Bioactive Peptides

This book will look at the advances made in the generation extraction and characterisation of bioactive peptides from different food and gut protein sources in addition to examining the increased potential and novel uses of these peptides in functional foods and pharmaceuticals for health. Novel extraction methods will be discussed along with protein identification methods and the application of peptides in gut health and in the prevention of diseases associated with metabolic syndrome including diabetes heart disorders obesity and inflammation.
