Bioactive Peptides and Proteins Containing Bioactive Peptides, their Uses and Processes for Making the Same

摘要

A process for treating a protein before hydrolytic digestion, the process comprising exposing the protein to at least one cycle of microwave irradiation to produce a microwave treated protein containing one or more bioactive peptides. Further hydrolyzing the microwave treated protein to release at least one of the one or more bioactive peptides. A pharmaceutical composition, supplement and food product including the microwave treated protein or the one or more released bioactive peptides.
