Brief Background
Functional bioactive peptides are an important constitute of functional foods. In addition to providing sources of amino acids for growth and maintenance, bioactive peptides have vast potential for improving human health and preventing chronic diseases through their impact on the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems. Our understanding with regard to preparing bioactive peptides from their parental proteins, absorption and bioavailability, metabolism, their mechanisms of action in the prevention of chronic diseases and promotion of human has made substantial progresses over the last three decades.
Purposes of the symposium:
-To discuss the newest developments and perspectives on bioactive peptide research
-To learn about the trends and opportunities in developing bioactive peptides products
-To network and develop collaborations and partnerships among the researchers, the academic and the industry participants
