Description
Alejandra Colón-Sandoval and co-authors review health-active peptides recovered from food waste, in a 2025 paper. Peptides are short protein chains freed by breaking proteins down. Many can calm inflammation, lower blood pressure, fight oxidation, or slow cancer cells. Most come from foods, but factory leftovers hold protein too.
The review covers peptides drawn from plant, animal, and sea by-products and little-used parts. It surveys how they are freed from their source, then purified and identified. Classic extraction methods sit beside newer green technologies. Reported health effects are gathered across many recent studies. The authors frame the field as a circular economy win: waste streams turned into high-value health ingredients.
