COMMERCIAL DAIRY PRODUCTS/INGREDIENTS WITH HEALTH CLAIMS BASED ON BIOACTIVE PEPTIDES... 

Ingredia, a French dairy company, has developed Prodiet F 200 , a milk protein hydrolysate that contains a bioactive peptide with relaxing properties. The patented product has an anti-stress effect proven by several clinical studies and does not cause the classical side effects of anxiolytics. Food supplements, chocolate and animal feed are examples of its applications (Lefranc, 2002). 

Occurrence of Bioactive Peptides in Fermented Dairy Products.81... 

Bioactive peptides can be generated during milk fermentation by the proteolytic activity of starter cnltnres. As a result, peptides with various bioactivities can be found in the end-products, such as various cheeses and fermented milks. These traditional dairy products may under certain conditions have specific health effects when ingested as part of the daily diet. A list of bioactive peptides...

Gobbetti, M., Minervini, F., Rizzello, C.G., 2007. Bioactive Peptides in Dairy Products. 

Peptides with different bioactivities have been identified in many fermented milks, such as sour milk, yogurt, kefir and dahi, as reviewed by Fitzgerald and Murray (2006), Korhonen (2009) and Hernandez-Ledesma et al. (2011). In addition to anti-hypertensive peptides, casein phosphopetides, antimicrobial, antioxidative and immunomodulatory peptides have been found depending on the origin of milk, dairy cultures and technology applied in production.
