Abstract

Bioactive peptides are one of the most popular research topics since they have potential health benefits. Some of these peptides have various potential physiological functions in the body, such as opioid, immunomodulatory, antibacterial, antithrombotic, and antihypertensive activity. The evaluation of food waste is important for the development of new functional products and for a greater economic rate. Ensuring the effective and correct usage of food waste having high protein content to generate bioactive peptides may become important all over the world. This chapter emphasizes the bioactive peptides obtained from various food wastes and presents the viewpoints for their application to food industries. Moreover, it summarizes the potential of protein derived from food wastes as a substrate for the generation of bioactive peptides. It highlights current technologies used in the production, fractionation, and purification of bioactive peptides.
