Non-Bovine Milk Derived Bioactive Peptides

Much like cow’s milk or human breast milk, non-bovine milk is a source of bioactive peptides, health-enhancing compounds derived from milk proteins that, in addition to their nutritional value, have therapeutic effects against several health disorders. In Non-Bovine Milk Derived Bioactive Peptides: Production, Characterization, and Biofunctionalities, an overview of the diverse biological effects of these compounds will be given, particularly focusing on their health promoting effects, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes prevention, plus their antimicrobial and anti-oxidative properties. Novel mechanisms of action responsible for the bioactivity of non-bovine milks will also be proposed. Written and edited by a global team of experts, Non-Bovine Milk Derived Bioactive Peptides is a key resource for researchers and academics in the fields of dairy science, nutrition, food and beverage science. This book will also be of interest to those working in the dairy food industry, particularly in research and product development.
