A common misnomer used on food products and even in the press is antioxidant minerals. Let s debunk this term now. Minerals themselves do not actually have antioxidant capacity but rather become attached to enzymes that do. In this role, the mineral is called a cofactor, which means that it allows an enzyme or protein to perform antioxidant work. Among the most frequently mentioned minerals in this category is selenium, which enables the peptide glutathione—the main antioxidant made in our bodies—to act as an antioxidant. Manganese, magnesium, iron, zinc, and copper are other dietary minerals having roles with enzymes involved in antioxidant functions. Many superfruits are particularly enriched with these minerals. 

The relationship between NADPH deficiency and anemia is an indirect one. NADPH is required to reduce the peptide glutathione from the disulfide to the free thiol form. Mammalian red blood cells lack mitochondria, which host many redox reactions.

In addition to the enzyme described, many other exopeptidases are known. These include enzymes specific for peptides of D-amino acids, prolyl peptides, glutathione (y-glutamylcysteinylglycine), and alanyl peptides. It is of interest that many of the peptidases occur in tissues that are not concerned with digestion. It is therefore possible that they may be involved in specific syntheses as well as in degradations. 

The origin of the majority of sulfur-containing aroma compounds formed by microorganisms is sulfate, which is initially incorporated into the sulfur amino acids (L-methionine and L-cysteine) and the peptide, glutathione [112]. These sulfur-containing precursors are metabolized to a variety of aroma compounds of sensory significance. Spinnler et al. [112] have provided a good discussion of this process.
