Tag: Peptide extraction

Over the past decade, bioactive peptides derived from plants have gained significant attention for their potential health benefits, including antioxidant and antihypertensive properties. Extracting peptides from plant materials is a multi-step process that can be tailored to the specific plant source and desired peptide characteristics. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the methods and techniques involved in how to extract peptides from plants effectively.

While often praised for its vitamins and fiber, recent studies confirm that broccoli contains a variety of peptides, including bioactive ones with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These small chains of amino acids are liberated from larger proteins through processes like enzymatic hydrolysis and microbial fermentation.
