Macroalgal-derived protein hydrolysates and bioactive peptides: Enzymatic release and potential health enhancing properties

Macroalgae are a natural source of valuable compounds for different applications. Despite the high protein content (up to 47%) and complete essential amino acid profile in some species, their protein fraction is still relatively underexplored. Besides the potential as alternative protein sources, macroalgae can also provide bioactive peptides and other proteinaceous compounds with biological value. In this review, data associated with macroalgal...
