Bioactive peptides from yeast: A comparative review on production methods, bioactivity, structure-function relationship, and stability

Yeast cells are a rich source of protein and have long been investigated for the production of yeast extract as a source of bioactive peptides with different documented bioactivity, e.g. antioxidant, ACE-inhibitory, antidiabetic, as well as prevention of chronic diseases and providing immune responces. Furthermore, yeast cells are known to contribute to generation of bioactive peptides due to their proteolytic activity during fermentation...
