Abstract
Bioactive peptides are short peptide fragments formed by amino acids joined by peptide bonds, can employ health enhancing effects in addition to main nutrition effect. In the native proteins generally these peptides are inactive; they can release by proteolysis to attain their bioactivity. Pulse derived bioactive peptides are isolated from proteolytic enzyme digestion, fermentation, and food processing. Bioactive peptide play important role in human health by affecting the metabolic system, and exhibit a antihypertensive, antioxidative, antcancerous, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic and antimicrobial activity. Bioactivity of pulse derived protein hydrolysates/peptides depends on the amino acid composition, sequence and length. Due to their health promoting bioactive peptides has encouraged the researcher community and the pharmaceutical industry to investigating whether the novel pulse derived bioactive peptide can act as nutraceuticals.
