Abstract
Bioactive Proteins and Peptides as Potential Components of Nutraceuticals from Melinjo Seed (Gnetum gnemon)
Highlights
These last two decades have presented new groundbreaking field research associated with bioactive food components that provides sufficient nourishment, and found to presents significant health advantages
This review will describe the agronomical and biochemical aspects of Gnetum gnemon seed protein-derived bioactive peptides, focusing mainly on the agronomical practices put in place in order to achieve increased concentration of bioactive peptides in plant food
Gnetum gnemon L. seed flour was found to be rich in protein (19.0g/100g), crude fibre (8.66g/100g), carbohydrates (64.1%), total dietary fibre (14.5%) and encompassed adequate amounts of essential amino acids, fatty acids and minerals [6]

This mini review deals with main bioactive protein or peptide identified of melinjo (Gnetum gnemon) seed, from biochemical and agromonic aspect. These bioactive protein and peptides could be employed in the food industry as an antioxidant or antihypertension agents to replace synthetic coumpounds and may be used in formulation of functional foods, nutraceuticals, and natural drugs because of their health benefit effects
