Bioactive Components

Abstract

Bioactive components can be defined as components in foods that have a physiological function. In this present era, bioactive substances originating from animal origin have been identified as potential and applied for designing functional foods with numerous health benefits. Most of the evidence for bioactive effects comes from in vitro studies, and there is a need for further research to fully evaluate the true potential of milk-derived bioactive factors. Animal genetics and animal nutrition play an important role in the relative proportions of milk proteins and could be used to manipulate the concentration of specific bioactive peptides in milk from ruminants. The knowledge described in the present chapter may set the basis for further research and for the development of new functional foods with healthy and beneficial properties for humans.
