Casein and whey proteins have various functionalities on human health. These are expressed mainly through the peptides that are rereased when these proteins are digested and include antithrombotic & antihypertasive action, positive effects on human nervous system and stimulative effect on human immune system, antimicrobial action and controlling effects on chronic diseases. Furthermore, an intensive research effort has come up to use casein and whey proteins for the production of functional peptides usefull for human health. This contribution reviews the discovered effects of casein and whey proteins on human health and the techniques used to isolate bioactive peptides from them.
