Numerous bioactive peptides and protein fractions with different functional properties can be found encrypted in the primary structure of many dietary proteins. Such bioactive compounds have a physiological effect on the major body systems, shown previously. There is increasing commercial interest in the production of bioactive peptides from various sources. Industrial-scale production of such peptides is hampered by the lack of suitable technologies. The market research report contains three major axis: scientific scanning, market analysis, and industrial players profiling.
The study first reviews the different scientific information available on bioactive peptides that are essential to the understanding of the nature of these ingredients. For the review, these peptides are segmented by sources (essentially milk fractions, colostrum, egg, soy, marine, and meat), sub-types (e.g. the major protein fractions in bovine milk include α-LA (Alpha lactalbumin), β-LG (Beta lactoglobulin), caseins, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, protease-peptide fractions, and minor whey proteins such as transferrin and serum albumin), and by applications (Infant nutrition, clinical nutrition, Food industry, sports food, etc.).
The second section presents a detailed assessment of the current and expected global market of bioactive peptides. Market share by applications and by industrial players are also presented. This part examines the prices trends for different bioactive peptides as well and contains a comprehensive review of market trends, drivers and opportunities. Information about processing technologies are also included.
The report contains a scanning and profiling of the major players in the market of bioactive peptides present worldwide.
