Abstract
Peptides play a crucial role in the development of pharmaceuticals and functional foods. Multiple studies have shown that natural bioactive peptides possess antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-tumor, and anti-inflammatory activities. Marine bioactive peptides, especially those sourced from fish, constitute a substantial reservoir of these molecules. Although considerable research has been undertaken on fish-derived peptides, studies specifically concerning those from tuna are limited. Tuna, a marine fish of high nutritional value, generates substantial by-product waste during fishing and processing. Therefore, it is essential to conduct an evaluation of the advancements in study on tuna-derived active peptides and to offer a perspective on the direction of future investigations. This review integrates prospective bioactive peptides derived from tuna and reports contemporary strategies for their investigation, including extraction, purification, screening, identification, and activity evaluation procedures, including Yeast Surface Display (YSD) and molecular docking. This review seeks to promote the continued investigation and application of bioactive peptides derived from tuna.
期刊介绍:
Marine Drugs (ISSN 1660-3397) publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes on the research, development and production of drugs from the sea. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible, particularly synthetic procedures and characterization information for bioactive compounds. There is no restriction on the length of the experimental section.
