Bioactivities of peptides encrypted in major milk proteins are latent until they are released and activated by enzymatic proteolysis. After a brief description of the properties of some bioactive peptides, an overview of the angiotensin I-converting-enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory and antimicrobial peptides is given. Emphasis is on the capacity of lactic acid bacteria to generate ACE-inhibitory peptides and on the exploitation of the potential role of antimicrobial peptides derived from milk proteins.

Abstract

Bioactivities of peptides encrypted in major milk proteins are latent until they are released and activated by enzymatic proteolysis. After a brief description of the properties of some bioactive peptides, an overview of the angiotensin I-converting-enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory and antimicrobial peptides is given. Emphasis is on the capacity of lactic acid bacteria to generate ACE-inhibitory peptides and on the exploitation of the potential role of antimicrobial peptides derived from milk proteins.
