Alternative biomanufacturing of bioactive peptides derived from halal food sources

Abstract

Bioactive peptides products derived from animal or plant-based protein are one alternative to create various bio-based nutritious food products. Plausible halal sources of the food protein precursor derived from plants and aquatic could be the best option. Furthermore, food processing by-products from these sources can also be utilized due to their excellent protein content. The wholesomeness of the raw material must be considered. Biomanufacturing of these bioactive peptides through enzymatic and microbial fermentation has been the current approach in the industry. The conventional approach was using the batch reactor, which is simple and easily available in the industry. However, there are a few drawbacks which include its technological challenges. Thus an alternative process was developed to improvise the process, that is, easily scale up to an industrial scale and, most importantly, cost-effective. This chapter presents a comprehensive review of the utilization of halal sources, its in silico and empirical assessments, and bioprocessing and technological review.
