Discovery Solutions of New Functional Active Peptides
Peptides are pivotal components found in various food sources, playing a crucial role in biological functions and potential health benefits. The demand for identifying and characterizing these bioactive peptides has surged due to their promising applications in functional foods, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals. Our discovery services focus on isolating and analyzing these peptides to uncover their biological activities and potential functional properties.
Key Focus:
- Food Preservation Research
New functional active peptides can be used as natural preservatives in food products. These peptides possess antimicrobial properties, which can help inhibit the growth of spoilage-causing microorganisms and extend the shelf life of food.
- Flavor Enhancement Research
Active peptides can enhance the flavor profile of food by interacting with taste receptors and stimulating the sensation of umami, sweetness, or saltiness, thereby reducing the need for artificial flavor enhancers.
- Antioxidant Activity Research
Certain peptides derived from food sources have antioxidant properties. These peptides can inhibit the oxidation of fats and oils in food, preventing rancidity and improving the overall quality of the product.
- Digestive Health Research
Functional peptides with digestive enzyme activities can facilitate the breakdown and digestion of food components, thus aiding in nutrient absorption and supporting gastrointestinal health.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties Research
Active peptides can possess anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial for individuals with chronic inflammation-related conditions, such as arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease.
- Immune Modulation Research
Active peptides from food sources have the potential to modulate immune responses, enhancing the body's natural defense mechanisms. This can contribute to improved immune function and overall health.
- Allergenicity Reduction Research
By hydrolyzing food proteins, active peptides can potentially reduce the allergenicity of certain foods. This can be helpful for individuals with food allergies or intolerances.
