Protein Digestion-Derived Peptides: Chemistry, Bioactivity, and Health Effects - Softcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Cristina Martinez-Villaluenga is a senior scientist and member of the GRAINS4HEALTH research group at the Institute of Food Science, Technology, and Nutrition (ICTAN) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). The mission of her research group is to develop new added-value products from grains (cereals, pseudocereals, and legumes) and give solutions to meet consumer and producer demands for food quality and safety, sustainability, and health. Bioactive compounds (including proteins and peptides) are the focus of her research. She has been involved in numerous Spanish, European, and International research projects.

Blanca Hernandez-Ledesma[CE11] is a senior scientist and the head of the Group Development and Innovation in Alternative Proteins (INNOVAPROT) at the Institute of Food Science Research (CIAL, CSIC-UAM). Her research has been focused on the biological activity of food proteins/peptides aiming at a better understanding of their health implications as basis for the development of novel food ingredients. She has participated in multiple national and international research projects and is a member of the editorial committees of 4 books and 11 journals.
