Background and aim: Increasing consumer’s awareness of the risk associated with synthetic food additives and the relationship between nutrition and health, has led to the development of functional foods i.e. those with additional health benefits beyond their basic nutrition. Marine animals that comprise about half of the world's biodiversity provided a wide spectrum of bioactive compounds, including peptides. Marine peptides with different biological activities might be used in the production of functional foods. The aim of this study was to review the studies conducted on the therapeutic effect of marine bioactive peptides in animal models and humans.
Methods: In this study, we used scientific articles about the therapeutic effects of marine bioactive peptides, indexed in the ISI, SID, PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science databases during 2000- 2016.
Results: Marine bioactive peptides produced from different proteinaceous raw materials through enzymatic hydrolysis or fermentation have been demonstrated to possess diverse physiological functions such as immune stimulation, blood pressure and lipids lowering, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidative stress, anti-obesity, skin protection and wound healing activities as well as memory and learning enhancing property in animal model or in human.
Conclusion: Marine bioactive peptides have potential as a functional ingredient in food product or nutraceuticals to increase consumer health and wellbeing. |
