Microalgae-Derived Peptides: Exploring Bioactivities and Functional Food Innovations
Abstract
A variety of bioactive peptides with unique and diverse structures could be found in microalgae with various bioactivities including antioxidant, antihypertensive, and antibacterial bioactivities. Food products containing microalgae peptides hold significant health and nutrition potential. Peptide liberation through enzymatic and other processes enhanced protein extraction, and some animal studies were conducted to verify their health-promoting effects. Various studies have focused on developing practical methods for their production, purification, and identification of bioactive peptides. The emerging trends of in silico peptide therapies, computational approaches, artificial intelligence, and the prospects of microalgae peptide research are briefly highlighted. Moreover, this article focused on the potential of microalgae-derived peptides as functional food ingredients their role in promoting health, and their future applications in nutraceutical industries. It also discussed the challenges of bioavailability in functional foods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
