Protein Digestion-Derived Peptides

Protein Digestion-Derived Peptides: Chemistry, Bioactivity, and Health Effects presents the latest international advances in fundamental and applied research on the impact of gastrointestinal digestion on the release of bioactive peptides from food sources. This book covers the fundamentals and applications of gastrointestinal digestion and absorption models as well as the impact of food matrices, their components and protein characteristics, and peptide bioactivity, bioaccessibility, and bioavailability. Moreover, the book expands coverage in vitro and in vivo approaches to simulate gastrointestinal digestion of food proteins and absorption models to evaluate the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of released peptides. Developed for nutrition researchers, food scientists, and pharmaceutical scientists, this book is a welcomed resource for those who wish to understand the impact of peptides on chronic disease.
