Bioactive peptides derived from camel milk proteins

Bioactive peptides from foods specially milk have seen keen interest from global scientific community over the past two decades. Specific attention has been given toward their exploration from non-bovine milk resources. In this direction, camel milk owing to its inherent therapeutic properties has garnered special attention from many researchers over the past few years. Various scientific methodologies have been taken by researcher for generation of camel milk–derived bioactive peptides (CMBP) via microbial fermentation, enzymatic hydrolysis, simulated gastrointestinal digestion, etc. Reports suggest considerable improvements in the techno-functional and bioactive properties of CMBPs in comparison to parent proteins. The current chapter discusses the status of research on the in vitro, in vivo, and clinical evidence of CMBPs.
