Abstract

Abstract Soybean is a grain product that has a lot of protein content. Bioactive peptides derived from soybean protein are believed to have the ability to maintain brain health such as the neurotransmitter system. Brain mapping is a mapping of the electrical activity of the brain to study the functional human brain. In this study, 2D brain mapping based on power spectrum is proposed to see the differences in brain activity in adolescents before and 1 h after consuming soy peptide using the 19-channel electroencephalogram. In the experiment, the adolescents in an age range of 16–24 years were involved (fasting in the span of 7–8 h before the experiment). The 2D brain mapping results showed that after consuming soy peptide, the subject as seen from alpha waves experienced an increase in activity by 5%.

Summary

Introduction

One of the structures and neurotransmitters in the nerve cell connections in the brain is formed by amino acids. Humans are required to have a healthy balanced diet and adequate intake of all nutrients for the development of a Sanchez and Vazqez (2017) explains that the combination of amino acids with covalent bonds is enabled by an organic substance that forms bioactive peptides known. These bioactive peptides play a crucial role in the working of the digestive, endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems. The chief role of bioactive peptides in the human body is drawing the interest of researchers and practitioners, especially in the food sector, to explore the development of new food additives and peptide-based functional products as done in this study. Bioactive peptides have been considered as a new generation of biologically active regulators that have preventive functions such as oxidation and microbial degradation in food (Moldes et al 2017; Lemes et al 2016)
