Functional Proteins, Peptides And Amino Acids

Analyzing from a cell biology perspective, Functional Proteins, Peptides, and Amino Acids addresses proteins, peptides, amino acids, and polypeptides as functional food components. This book describes the mechanisms by which proteins take the role of protease inhibitors. It features a discussion of angiogenesis and its role in disease prevention. Additional coverage addresses amino acids and different types of proteins and peptides including plant-derived, animal-derived, and dairy. Ideal as a reference for food scientists, food chemists, and biochemists, the text also includes material on emerging topics such as nutrigenomics and bioinformatics as tools used in functional foods research.Losso, Jack N. is the author of 'Functional Proteins, Peptides And Amino Acids ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780849339578 and ISBN 084933957X.
