Background: In recent years, researchers have focused on functional ingredients, functional foods, and nutraceuticals due to the rapidly increasing interest in bioactive components, especially in bioactive peptides. Dairy proteins are a rich and balanced source of amino acids and their derived bioactive peptides, which possess biological and physiological properties. In the dairy industry, microbial fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis are promising methods for producing bioactive peptides because of their rapid efficiency, and mild reaction conditions. However, these methods utilize less raw material, take long reaction time, result in low yields, and low activity products when used alone, which pose industry to seek for novel methods as pretreatments to increase the yield of bioactive peptides.
Scope and Approach: This review emphasizes the production of peptides from the dairy proteins and discusses the potential use of novel technologies as pretreatments to conventional methods of bioactive peptides production from dairy proteins, including the mechanisms of novel technologies along with respective examples of use, advantages, limitations, and challenges to each technology.
Key Findings and Conclusion: Noteworthily, hydrolysis of dairy proteins liberate wide-range of peptides that possess remarkable biological functions to maintain human health. Novel technologies in the dairy industry such as ultrasound-assisted processing (UAP), microwave-assisted processing (MAP), and high pressure processing (HPP) are innovative and environmentally friendly. Generally, novel technologies are less effectual compared to conventional methods, therefore used in combination with fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis, and are promising pretreatments to modify peptides’ profile, improve the yields, and high liberation of bioactive peptides as compared to conventional technologies. UAP is an innovative and most efficient technology as its mechanical effects and cavitation change the protein conformation, increase the biological activities of enzymes, and enhance enzymatic hydrolysis reaction rate.

Introduction
Bioactive peptides are specific peptide motifs of 2–20 amino acids embedded in parent proteins that possess the ability to alter or influence metabolic activities in the human body because of their particular fragments in proteins (1, 2). Bioactive peptides offer several biological functionalities such as free radicals inhibition, thrombosis inhibition, and immunity improvement (3). There are two main methods of bioactive peptides production by microbial fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins. A wide range of bioactive peptides can be produced using different cleavage specificities of the proteolytic enzymes (4). Usually, bioactive peptides consist of less than 20 amino acids and 10 kDa molecular weight. Their functionalities also depend upon the sequence of amino acids, their compositions, and molecular weights (5). Milk proteins contain several peptides that exert strong biological properties and are widely studied as a source of bioactive peptides (6, 7). Many studies have reported the availability of bioactive peptides in milk, fermented dairy products, and various types of cheese (8–10). Milk derived bioactive peptides are associated with many health beneficial effects, including immunomodulation, antithrombotic activity, antihypertension, antimicrobial activity, and opiate activity (11, 12).
The bioactive peptides are separated, identified, and purified by employing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (5). However, characterization of peptides is carried out by the protein hydrolyzed fractionation method (13) and functional properties of peptides are assessed by the amino acid composition of the bioactive peptide (14). For fractionation, the ultrafiltration membrane system is the preliminary step to separate the required molecular weight fractions from hydrolyzates (15). Figure 1 illustrates and summarizes the process of bioactive peptides production from dairy proteins, including source preparation, extraction, and hydrolysis of protein (denaturation), fractionation of desired peptides through gel-filtration chromatography (GFC), their purification by HPLC, and identification through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the production of bioactive peptides from dairy products.
The dairy industry relies on microbial fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis to produce bioactive peptides, which alone give low yields of peptides. Various novel technologies are evolving, coupled with conventional methods to generate high yields of bioactive peptides from dairy proteins quickly and at a low cost. Figure 2 illustrates and summarizes the conventional and green novel technologies employed in the dairy industry to produce bioactive peptides. Ultrasound, microwave (16) and high-pressure processing (17) are the efficient, novel, green technologies, but these are emerging technologies with attention to dairy industry, and their promising effects have been entirely understood when employed as pretreatments. Ultrasound waves break, weaken, or clean the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions of milk proteins through shear forces and cavitation and bring conformational changes in proteins (18, 19). Microwave heating has many benefits like easy operation, less processing, and high efficient energy, making it suitable in continuous food processing (20). High-pressure processing (HPP) is a potential technique used as a pre-treatment method to release bioactive peptides by enhancing the enzymatic digestibility of proteins due to conformational changes in proteins that influence their functional properties boosting their digestibility. It has also been applied to milk and milk products (21, 22).
Figure 2. Novel and conventional methods of bioactive peptides production from dairy proteins.
This review emphasizes the production of peptides from dairy proteins and discusses the potential use of novel technologies in context to conventional methods of bioactive peptides production from dairy proteins, including the mechanisms and their respective examples of use, advantages, limitations, and challenges to each technology.
Milk and Fermented Dairy Products: Source of Bioactive Peptides
Milk and dairy products comprise various essential nutrients such as bioactive agents (antioxidants), minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and vitamins, making them nutritious foodstuff (23). Oxidative stress and damage to the body can be prevented by consuming antioxidant-rich foods (24). Milk and its products are a well-known source of antioxidants as they contain: significant amounts of daidzein polyphenolic metabolites, antioxidative enzymes, i.e., glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and sulfur-containing amino acids, i.e., carotenoids, vitamins A and E, cysteine, and methionine (25). Generally, bovine milk protein is comprised of lactoferrin, caseins, immunoglobulins, beta-lactoglobulin (β-LG), alpha-lactalbumin (α-LA), fractions of protease-peptide, and some whey proteins (transferrin and serum albumin) as main fractions (26). Figure 3 shows the major bioactive components of milk with biological properties.
Figure 3. Major milk components with bioactive potential.
Milk contains various useful molecules encompassing bioactive peptides (27, 28). Dietary proteins contain bioactive peptides in them, which are naturally found inactive in parent protein sequences and liberated only during food processing or gastrointestinal digestion. Peptides work as regulatory compounds with hormone-like activity after liberation. In dairy, milk proteins are the potent source of bioactive peptides which exert various biological functions, i.e., antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-hypertensive factors (29, 30). As cited in Table 1, many researchers have assessed the biological activities of bioactive peptides from various milk sources, including camel and bovine casein hydrolyzates (31), buffalo casein (32), camel whey protein hydrolyzate (33), camel milk lactoferrin (34), goat milk (35), yak milk (36), goat milk (37), buffalo milk (38), skim milk (6) camel milk (39), whey protein hydrolyzate (40), UHT treated milk (41), and milk and dairy products (42) by using various microorganisms and microbial enzymes for proteolysis. The bioactive peptides are liberated during gastrointestinal digestion (in vivo), milk products’ manufacturing, and proteolysis (in vitro).
Table 1. Bioactive peptides released from milk proteins by various microorganisms and microbial enzymes.
Reportedly, fermented milk products contain phosphor-peptides, ACE-inhibitory peptides, and casomorphins (43). Bovine α-lactalbumin and β- casein have shown bioactive peptide sequences like LDQW, INYW, and NSLP, FP, HQP, respectively (44, 45). Another in vitro study revealed two antioxidative peptide sequences KVLPVPEK and AVPYPQR, by following milk casein hydrolysis (46). However, digestion and fermentation of goat milk can also release antioxidative peptide sequences like EALEKFDK and EALEKFDK (47, 48).
Cheese is a widely used fermented milk product. Many studies have reported that cheese is a vital source of wide-range of biologically active substances such as proteins and all essential amino acids (except cysteine and methionine), minerals, vitamins, and short-chain fatty acids (49, 50). Cheese contains bioactive compounds with biological activities such as peptides, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), exopolysaccharides, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), vitamins, and organic acids, and fatty acids. According to in vitro and in vivo studies, these bioactive compounds may have antiproliferative, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities and inhibit ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) (51, 52). As shown in Table 2, many bioactive peptides have been identified in different fermented dairy products, such as Iranian ultrafiltered white cheese (53), fermented milk (54), cultured dairy product (55), Hard cow milk cheese (56), fermented casein (57), Prato cheese (58), fermented whey proteins (59), commercial fermented milk (60), goat milk Tulum cheese and cow milk Tulum cheese (61), cow and buffalo cheddar cheeses (62), fermented milk (Lassi) (63), yogurt (64), symbiotic yogurt (65), and curd and whey (66).
Table 2. Bioactive peptides identified in fermented dairy products.
Conventional Methods of Production
In the dairy industry, the conventional methods for producing bioactive peptides are microbial fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis, summarized in Table 1.
Microbial Fermentation
Fermentation is a primeval preservation method that utilizes lactic acid bacteria proteolytic systems as an efficient approach to produce bioactive peptides from food. Generally, lactic acid bacteria fermentation is carried out both naturally and under controlled conditions, which improve technological and nutritional properties of food and ultimately develops texture and flavor in them (67, 68). Usually, the milk fermentation is carried out by Lactobacillus strains; till now, most known bioactive peptides have been isolated through milk cultures (27). Because different milk sources (cow, buffalo, goat, yak, camel, or mare) have distinctive proteins, different bioactive peptides are produced on hydrolysis of casein and whey proteins usage of the same Lactobacillus strain (69). Lactic acid bacteria fulfill their need for essential and growth-promoting amino acids from milk proteins as a primary source (70). Microbial fermentation is an efficient and economical method to produce peptides (71) which is extensively employed to functionalize milk products and byproducts in the dairy industry (72, 73). During the manufacturing of fermented dairy products starter and non-starter, bacteria can produce bioactive peptides because of the high proteolytic activities exerted by dairy starter cultures (74). Ueno et al. (75) and Phelan et al. (76) utilized L. helveticus CM4 to produce an endopeptidase that possessed the ability to produce antihypertensive peptides by using synthetic pro-peptides as a substrate. Also, lactic acid bacteria have helped achieve multifunctional bioactive peptides (77, 78). Zanutto-Elgui et al. (79) have reported the production of bioactive peptides having antioxidant and antimicrobial activity from goat and bovine milk by using the proteolytic activity of Aspergillus flavipes and Aspergillus oryzae enzymes.
Microbial fermentation is comparatively economical than the enzymatic method for bioactive peptides production. Microbial fermentation method applications have some industrial limitations as they yield low peptide production and lack specificness of peptide generation (69).
Enzymatic Hydrolysis
Enzymatic hydrolysis is a reliable, efficient, and the principal method to hydrolyze whole proteins for the production of bioactive peptides under the mild condition of enzyme activity, substrate concentration, hydrolysis time, temperature, and pH. These peptides exert anti-inflammatory, opioid, immunomodulatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antithrombotic, and antihypertensive activities (67, 80). The results of the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis mostly depend on two factors: the primary structure of parent protein (substrate) and specificity of the enzyme applied (81). Animal, plant (neutrase, thermolysin, ficin, pronase, flavourzyme, and papain), microbial, and digestive (chymotrypsin, trypsin, and pepsin) origin enzymes have been used to hydrolyze the large sequence peptides into small sequence peptides having 500–1,800 kDa molecular weights and 2–20 amino acid units (82, 83). In vitro studies have shown that the parent milk proteins undergo hydrolysis with pancreatic proteinases (mostly trypsin) and liberate most known biological peptides. Though, endoprotease combinations (proline-specific endopeptidase, carboxypeptidase, elastase, pancreatin, thermolysin, pepsin, and chymotrypsin) are also reported to produce bioactive peptides (84, 85). Furthermore, intact protein molecules can be hydrolyzed by combining enzymes like Thermolysin, Trypsin, Pancreatin™, Chymosin, and Alcalae™ to produce bioactive peptides (76). Combinations of carboxypeptidase, elastase, chymotrypsin, trypsin, and pepsin have been used to liberate various α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin corresponding fractions and ACE-inhibitory peptides having different IC50 values (84–86). Liu et al. (36) isolated the antioxidative peptides (RELEEL) from the yak casein hydrolyzate using the combination of alcalase and trypsin digestion. Abdel-Hamid et al. (87) subjected buffalo skimmed milk to hydrolysis using papain, pepsin, trypsin, and isolated known and novel ACE inhibitory antioxidative peptides. Wali et al. (39) used a combination of trypsin, pepsin, alcalase, and papain to hydrolyze the Bactrian camel milk and isolated three novel antioxidant peptides.
Enzymatic hydrolysis has certain shortcomings, such as higher cost to produce pure bioactive peptides, casein coagulation on heating, and bitterness, therefore, choice of enzymatic hydrolysis conditions must be taken into account before application (88, 89).
Novel Processing Technologies
The novel processing technologies such as ultrasound-assisted processing (UAP), microwave-assisted processing (MAP), high-pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric field processing (PEF), subcritical water processing (SWP), and ohmic heating relies on physical processes to improve the degree of hydrolysis during bioactive peptides production (90, 91). However, following applications of UAP, MAP, and HPP as pretreatments have been found in the dairy industry to prepare bioactive peptides.
Ultrasound-Assisted Processing
Ultrasound-assisted processing is a novel, eco-friendly, and non-thermal physical technology that involves >20 kHz frequency of sound waves to produce peptides (91, 92). In ultrasound treatment, acoustic cavitation, acoustic streaming, and mechanical vibrations are produced on the passage of ultrasound waves through a medium. Acoustic streaming can allow and improve the transfer of mass through a medium. The mechanical vibrations can change solid particle size and structure (93). In a liquid medium, ultrasound treatment follows the cavitation process in which pre-existing micro-bubbles expand and contract. However, during these oscillations, bubbles keep growing until they reach their resonance size range and then collapse violently in case of transient/inertial cavitation (94, 95). In transient cavitation, physical shearing, high-pressure and extreme localized temperatures (2,000–5,000 K) are produced on collapsing of increased sized bubbles (within few acoustic cycles) into fragments at low ultrasound frequency. However, stable cavitation results in relatively mild streaming effects on collapsing of the little increased bubbles (over a large number of acoustic cycles) at higher frequencies. Cavitation also owns the ability to induce chemical changes along with physical effects. When cavitation is applied to an aqueous medium, a highly reactive radical is formed inside the bubble (on reaction of gas molecules and water vapor reaction) due to the availability of generated localized high temperature. The ultrasound cavitation chemical effects are visible at 300–500 kHz frequencies and physical effects are visible at 20 kHz frequency (94). Protein structures undergo conformational changes by ultrasound processing, such as acoustic cavitation, forces of chemical and physical effects (96, 97).
As presented in Table 3, recently UAP has been employed as pretreatment for various milk proteins hydrolysis, including whey proteins (98), caprine milk protein (99), fresh milk (100), cheddar cheese (101), whey protein isolate (102), whey protein (103), and milk protein concentrate (104, 105). UAP in combination with enzymatic hydrolysis has been employed for various proteins, i.e., eggshell membrane (106), egg white (107), and isolated oat protein (108). Ulug et al. (91) reported that the application of UAP is carried out in combination with enzymatic hydrolysis, to increase the production of bioactive peptide, as UAP alone cannot break the peptidic bond. Ultrasound pretreatment enhance the enzymes accessability into the peptide bonds of foods that results in the increased release of bioactive peptides. Basically, ultrasound processing generates the acoustic forces that increase the available surface area for enzyme protein interactions by reducing the size of the fat globules that get covered with whey proteins and casein micelles, ultimately, increases the access of proteolytic enzymes to the proteins (109, 110). Wu et al. (111) in their study on the thermodynamic properties of whey protein hydrolyzed by alcalase with ultrasonic pretreatment reported that the hydrolyzates showed significantly increased ACE inhibitory and immunomodulatory activities when the whey protein enzymatic hydrolysis was assisted by the ultrasound. Sonication pretreatment induces the whey protein unfolding, increased free sulfhydryl content, and conformational changes with increased β-sheets and β-turns formation (111). Similar study exhibited that ultrasound-assisted pretreatment combined with low purity enzymes show the increased hydrolysis rate that may be due to changes in free sulfhydryl clusters and disulfide bond (112), hydrophobic protein content, and surface hydrophobicity (113). Lorenzetti et al. (102) reported that ultrasound pretreatment before hydrolysis of whey protein isolate could help to develop the economic ingredients for the dairy industry.
Table 3. Applications of ultrasound- assisted processing for the production of bioactive peptides.
UAP application is beneficial to reduce the disadvantages resulting from hydrolysis by conventional enzymes, i.e., long-time hydrolysis and low conversion rate (114). Generally, UAP equipment requires fewer installations, low maintenance, around 85% energy efficiency, and cost between €10,000 and 200,000 (115). Undeniably, UAP is one of the novel and most preferable techniques for producing bioactive peptides due to numerous advantages such as faster start-up, extraction selectivity, high process control, reduced temperature and time, and faster mass and energy transfer (116).
Microwave-Assisted Processing
Microwaves encompass electromagnetic radiation of 300 MHz–300 GHz range (117). Microwave energy follows molecular interactions (ionic conduction and dipolar rotation mechanisms) as a medium transportation mode. On applying electromagnetic field, charged colloidal molecules migrate and flow through a stationary medium in ionic conduction and led to resistance in the solution, which produces thermal energy. On the other hand, dipole rearrangement occurs on electromagnetic fields in dipolar rotation (118).
Microwave treatment is carried out in the food processing ovens in which an alternating electric field is used to generate the microwaves having 2.45 GHz frequency and <1 cm wavelength typically. These microwaves do not cause breakage of covalent bonds because of their non-ionizing radiation nature (119, 120) but, these can either induce thermal or non-thermal changes in the milk. Microwaves generate heat by friction that results from the oscillation of molecules as dipoles of water try to align their arrangements under the influence of microwave field. So, thermal effects are resulted from the generation of localized heat due to friction of molecules, on the other hand, non-thermal effects (accelerated protein unfolding rate) alone arise from the rearrangement of molecules in milk (120).
Microwave-assisted processing has been employed for various milk proteins hydrolysis including cheddar cheese (101), bovine whey proteins (121), milk protein concentrate (105), bovine serum albumin (122), and bovine whey protein concentrate (123) as cited in Table 4. MAP is one of the most preferred alternative technologies to conventional heat processing methods as it enhances functional properties, extends shelf life, and improves microbial safety of food products (124, 125). In their study, Izquierdo and coworkers found that MAP could make proteins specific sites potentially available to proteolytic enzymes by continuous protein molecules unfolding and rearrangement (123). In a study, the surface plasmon resonance sensing method was used to investigate the unfolding of protein by employing MAP at 2.45 GHz. The results showed that at the same temperature, MAP heating has a higher impact on the unfolding and denaturation of a bovine crystalline than conventional heating (126).
Table 4. Applications of microwave-assisted processing for the production of bioactive peptides.
Microwave is the most extensively studied and world-widely popular method in both academics and food processing industry due to high heating rates which eventually lead to a clean environment of work, easy operation, low processing time, and low maintenance requirements (127, 128). In the food industry, MAP has extensive applications to extract bioactive compounds from plant materials. During extraction, MAP is used to facilitate quick heating of solvent to separate analytes and matrix. Many studies have been reported to show the efficient production of bioactive peptides from MAP as pretreatment combined with proteolytic enzymes by accelerating the rapid hydrolysis of protein into peptides and producing more coverage of sequence (129). Before proteolytic hydrolysis, cleavage sites of proteins are probably exposed by microwave radiations that cause a change in protease cleavage sites (130).
Generally, in contrast to conventional methods, MAP offers several benefits: reproducibility, reduced processing time, hydrolysis efficiency, cost-effectiveness, convenience, and simple handling, making it one of the most preferred methods (131).
High Hydrostatic Pressure Processing
High-pressure processing (HPP) is a green, novel, and non-thermal technology that encompasses the application of 100–1000 MPa pressure, with or without treatment of heat primarily for the deactivation of pathogenic microorganisms along with molds, yeast, and vegetative bacteria, enhancing nutritional and functional properties of food products in the food industry. Depending on the food type, HPP treatment duration varies between 0 and 30 min (132, 133). Also, both treatment duration and pressure-transmitting fluid, and adiabatic heating result in a 3–9°C increase of temperature per 100 MPa (134). This technology has advantages over other technologies due to low to moderate temperature and causing the least damage to the bioactive compounds. HPP involves the combination of pressure and heat, resulting in conformational changes of protein and biological, chemical, and physical changes in food compounds (135).
High-pressure processing can be carried out in three different modes like semi-continuous, continuous, and batch. Batch HPP is an efficient and simple mode. The pressure chamber is filled with a prepacked sample and sealed, the air in the pressure chamber is replaced by pouring water, and then pressure is built until the desired point is achieved. After a particular time chamber is depressurized. Finally, processed food is taken out. On the other hand, continuous/dynamic HPP (136) involves utilizing a moving piston to push the food through a narrow gap (137). While in the case of semi-continuous HPP, the flow of liquid is introduced and contained in the same chamber at constant pressure for a specific time, after that, processed liquid food is stored in sterile tanks (138).
High-pressure processing has been employed for various milk proteins hydrolysis including whey protein concentrate (139, 140), cheddar cheese (101), bovine whey protein beta-lactoglobulin (141), whey protein isolate (142), cheddar cheese (22), beta-lactoglobulin (143), and bovine whey proteins (144) as cited in Table 5. Relatively, HPP is a well-developed technology that has many applications to milk and cheese (21, 22, 145). Munir et al. (101) reported the increased ACE Inhibitory activity HPP treated milk cheese and indicated that HPP results in efficient bioactive peptides liberation and proteolysis by imparting change in indigenous milk enzymes structures by subjecting more active sites for protein reaction (22, 146). Various studies have been reported in which the patterns of native and pressure-treated proteins have been compared. Indeed, Maynard and coworkers found that under pressurization tryptic β-LG hydrolysis generated a low concentration of intermediate hydrolysis peptides (147). On the other hand, Knudsen and coworkers reported the application of HPP at the beginning step of tryptic β-LG hydrolysis that generated an increased amount of high molecular weight peptides and hydrophobic peptides (148).
Table 5. Applications of high-pressure processing for the production of bioactive peptides.
In the food industry, high-pressure processing is well known as a clean method compared to conventional methods as it offers numerous advantages such as homogeneous and constant pressurization at ambient temperatures, utilize less energy due to maintenance of constant pressure when reached absolute pressure, quick pressurization, and de-pressurization, reduced processing time, and it’s throughout applications irrespective of shape or size in the food system (149–151). However, the applications of this technology have certain limitations such as batch operation and costly infrastructure around 0.6–4 M US dollars accounting for 75–80% of the investment as the initial investment (152, 153). HPP has limited effects on covalent bond cleavage and production of bioactive peptides alone, therefore, it’s employed in combination with enzymatic hydrolysis to denature protein and improved access to sites of enzyme cleavage to get efficient and increased production process of bioactive peptides (91).
Future Outlook
Numerous studies on the identification and evaluation of in vitro bioactivity of peptides from protein hydrolyzates of several sources of protein suggest that novel technologies should be employed to isolate novel ingredients to prepare novel functional foods. But, the application of novel technologies is an emerging field of rising significance in the dairy industry as, till now, there are minimal studies on the improvement of fermentation/enzymatic hydrolysis using UA, MA, and HPP as pretreatments to produce bioactive peptides while fermentation/enzymatic hydrolysis are promising conventional methods to generate peptides at industrial level. Thus, fermentation/enzymatic hydrolysis of dairy proteins treated with ultrasound, microwave, and high-pressure is possible to generate improved bioactive peptides at a lower cost and short time compared to only conventional applications methods.
In the dairy industry, mostly milk is used as a medium in novel technologies. So, there is a gap in understanding that either the treatment of novel technologies enhances or alters the fermentation/enzymatic hydrolysis in whole milk, fermented milk, yogurt, cheese, and other dairy products. The synergistic effect of possible novel technologies can be investigated to understand the liberation of bioactive peptides at a low cost and short time. For instance, microwave heating and ultrasound waves/HPP pressure combination could be tested to explore the effect of heat treatment and high frequency/pressure on the release of bioactive peptides from dairy proteins. As several studies reported that the applications of these novel technologies could generate lower-cost ingredients with a higher content of available amino acids for the dairy industry.
Future studies are expected to establish the actual applications of novel technologies by investigating the maximum potential of these processing technologies to comprehend their possible specificities in the proteins’ cleavage, generate novel, and known bioactive peptides, effects on specificness, and modification of amino acids in dairy proteins.
Conclusion
It is noteworthy that milk protein hydrolysis liberates a wide variety of bioactive peptides that possess remarkable biological functions to maintain human health. The knowledge of bioactive peptides from milk and other dairy proteins and their health benefits increases with each passing day. It’s also opening new doors to exciting offers such as novel functional foods that can help manage and prevent several chronic diseases including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, etc.
Although the dairy industry is slow in embracing novel technologies but reported studies to depict that UAP, MAP, and HPP are innovative, environmentally friendly, and promising pretreatments to modify the profile of peptides, improve the yields of peptides, and higher liberation of bioactive peptides as compared to conventional processing technologies. Novel technologies require sustainable, environment-friendly, and highly specialized cost equipment and workers to operate the equipment. These novel processing technologies are coupled with conventional methods for unfolding, denaturing, or aggregating the milk proteins by breaking down weak molecular interactions with less or no effect on covalent bonds. The influence of pretreatments is intensified by fermentation/enzymatic hydrolysis, which results in a higher amount of liberated low molecular weight bioactive peptides, enhanced hydrolysis, and increased proteolysis of dairy proteins which ultimately increases their bioactivity. Many studies have reported the isolation of novel bioactive peptides from dairy proteins after employing novel technologies as pretreatments.
Ultrasound-assisted processing is an innovative and most efficient technology as it offers easy control, simple operation, mild operating conditions, the ability to achieve industrial amplification and production, and effective influence of auxiliary enzymatic hydrolysis. Its mechanical effects and cavitation change the protein conformation, increase the biological functionalities of enzymes, and enhance the reaction rate of enzymatic hydrolysis. Though novel technologies are innovative, environmentally friendly, and promising pretreatments, their trend is increasing and acquisitioning momentum to produce bioactive peptides.
