Abstract
Abstract Seed storage proteins are major source of proteins because of readily available bioactive peptides. These peptides are fragments of a protein, which showed positive implications on human wellness and gained wide importance owing to their health benefits such as antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-tumor activities. In plants, the bioactive peptides are ubiquitous in distribution that act as a part of innate response upon elicitation. In addition, these plant based bioactive peptides have structural similarity with the insect and animal sources. In most of the cases, the bioactive peptides triggers their response by binding the target membrane that results into permeabilization and rupture of the membrane. Delineating the potential of peptides having antiviral, antimicrobial and antiviral properties these can be used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Further, these peptides can be used into the packaging material called active packaging that enhances the shelf life and quality of the food. In this review, seed storage proteins based bioactive peptides and their potent applications for health as well as food industry have been elucidated.
