چکیده
Food-protein derived bioactive peptides are short amino acid chains that are inactive within the sequence of the parent protein, but can be released through hydrolysis by proteolytic enzymes. Several physiological effects have been attributed to these peptides, such as blood pressure reduction, scavenging of oxidative compounds, induction of satiety and reduction of cholesterol. Due to their ability to provide a positive impact on body functions or conditions, bioactive peptides and their application are of relevance for the food industry. TNO Triskelion and TNO jointly offer a technology platform that comprises advanced technologies and broad expertise to evaluate and optimize the bioactive potential of food proteins. An overview of this platform is presented in the figures below.
