Algae Proteins and Health-Boosting Peptides as Sustainable Nutrition for People

AI simplified

Abstract

Algal proteins outperform traditional plant and animal proteins in protein content, quality, and digestibility.

  • Animal proteins are the primary global protein source but have environmental challenges and low conversion efficiency.
  • Algal proteins are a sustainable alternative with significant nutritional benefits.
  • Bioactive peptides derived from algal proteins may exhibit health benefits such as antihypertensive and antioxidant activities.
  • Innovative production techniques can improve protein hydrolysis efficiency and increase the yield of bioactive peptides.
  • The integration of computer technology and database resources is analyzed to enhance the development of algal proteins.
