The possible roles of food-derived bioactive peptides in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. (2008, background): “The antioxidant properties of these peptides have been suggested to be due to metal ion chelation, free radical scavenging and singulet oxygen quenching [2].”
An In-vitro Investigation of Selected Biological Activities of Hydrolysed Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) Proteins (2008, background): “At present, several enzymatically hydrolysed seed storage proteins have been studied for the presence of bioactive peptides possessing angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory (ACEI) activity (antihypertensive), antioxidant, opioid, bile acid binding, immunostimulating, mineral utilising and antim”
Bioactive peptides: Production and functionality (2006, background): “Bioactive peptides have been defined as specific protein fragments that have a positive impact on body functions or conditions and may ultimately influence health (Kitts & Weiler, 2003).”
Food-derived peptides with biological activity: from research to food applications. (2007, background): “The most wellstudied are the lactoferricins, which are derived from bovine and human lactoferrin [25].”
