Biopeptides of Pyropia yezoensis and their potential health benefits: A review

摘要

Pyropia yezoensis(P.yezoensis)is a popular species of red algae that are commercially cultivated and consumed in East Asia,China,Japan,and Korea.The high protein content of P.yezoensis provides a source of multiple bioactive peptides exhibiting antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,antihypertensive,anticancer,tissue healing,immunomodulatory,and anticoagulant properties.Furthermore,many other biologically active substances in P.yezoensis,including carbohydrates,lipids,dietary fibers,and polyphenols,have shown potential health benefits and are important in both the food and agriculture industries.This review provides a detailed summary of researches over the last decade on the biological and medicinal properties of bioactive peptides.The information was extracted from various electronic resources,including Google Scholar,PubMed,MEDLINE,and Google Patents.
