Bioactive peptides are short amino acid sequences with specific physiological functions that are released from parent proteins through enzymatic hydrolysis or gastrointestinal digestion. Found abundantly in food sources such as milk, soy, meat, fish, and cereals, these peptides have attracted growing attention for their potential applications in health promotion, functional food development, and preventive medicine. Food-derived functional bioactive peptides have been shown to exert a range of beneficial effects, including antihypertensive, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and lipid-lowering activities. Their ability to modulate biological processes makes them promising candidates for use in nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, and functional ingredients in food products.
As scientific and regulatory interest in functional foods continues to grow, the need for systematic identification, characterization, and validation of bioactive peptides has become increasingly important. Advanced omics technologies, especially mass spectrometry-based peptidomics, now allow researchers to efficiently profile and quantify these peptides, evaluate their bioactivities, and uncover their mechanisms of action.
Service at MtoZ Biolabs
MtoZ Biolabs offers a comprehensive Food-Derived Functional Bioactive Peptides Discovery Service, combining cutting-edge LC-MS/MS analysis with in vitro bioactivity screening and customized bioinformatics pipelines. Our platform supports researchers and product developers in identifying novel peptides with functional potential from a wide variety of food matrices.
💠LC-MS/MS Analysis
We use high-resolution LC-MS/MS to accurately identify and quantify peptides in food matrices. This method allows us to perform sequence analysis and in-depth characterization of peptides, including determining their molecular weight, amino acid composition, and post-translational modifications.
💠Bioactivity Screening
Our service includes in vitro bioactivity assays to evaluate the physiological effects of identified peptides. We assess a range of biological activities, including antioxidant, antihypertensive, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties, to validate their functional potential.
💠Molecular Docking Studies
We conduct molecular docking research to explore the interactions between bioactive peptides and their potential receptors or target proteins. This computational approach helps predict binding affinities, mechanism of action, and the peptide's ability to modulate biological pathways.
💠Bioinformatics Analysis
Our bioinformatics pipelines analyze the identified peptides for their structural motifs, biological functions, and safety profiles. We utilize databases to predict the peptide's interactions with known targets, assess its bioactivity potential, and identify its relevance in various physiological processes.
Applications
MtoZ Biolabs' Food-Derived Functional Bioactive Peptides Discovery Service supports a wide range of research applications. Key application areas include:
1. Food Preservation Research
Food-derived bioactive peptides with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties can help enhance food shelf-life by preventing spoilage and oxidation. Our service helps identify peptides that can be incorporated into food products to improve preservation without the need for artificial preservatives.
2. Flavor Improvement Research
Peptides derived from food proteins often have unique taste-enhancing properties. We assist in identifying peptides that can improve the flavor profile of food products, making them more palatable without altering nutritional content or requiring synthetic additives.
3. Antioxidant Activity Research
Many bioactive peptides exhibit antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. Our service supports the discovery of peptides with strong antioxidant activity, which can be used in functional food products aimed at promoting health and preventing oxidative stress-related diseases.
4. Digestive Health Research
Certain food-derived peptides support gut health by promoting digestive enzyme activity or protecting the gut lining. Our service enables the identification of peptides that can be used to develop products for improving digestion, alleviating gastrointestinal issues, or supporting the gut microbiota.
5. Anti-inflammatory Properties Research
Chronic inflammation is linked to numerous diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. We identify peptides with anti-inflammatory properties to help in the development of food products or nutraceuticals that can reduce inflammation and promote overall health.
6. Immune Modulation Research
Bioactive peptides from food sources can regulate immune responses, enhancing the body's ability to fight infections and maintain immune system balance. Our service helps uncover peptides that could be used in the development of functional foods or supplements aimed at boosting immune health.
7. Allergy Research
Food allergies are a growing concern worldwide. We assist in identifying peptides that can either trigger allergic responses or potentially serve as hypoallergenic alternatives.
