Bioactive Peptides from Legumes and Their Bioavailability

Retno Indrati
TL;DR: The results show that the nature of BPs varies greatly depending on the legume source and the production method, and some BPs showed increased bio-accessibility and bio-availability after being hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes.
