Seaweed Protein Hydrolyzates: A Valuable Source of Short- and Medium-Chain Peptides with Multifunctional Properties

Scientists found that an invasive seaweed species can be converted into health-promoting peptides (small protein fragments) that may help control blood pressure and blood sugar levels. The study identified hundreds of these peptides and tested their effectiveness against enzymes involved in hypertension and diabetes. The peptides showed promise as natural ingredients for functional foods designed to prevent metabolic diseases while also addressing the environmental problem of harmful seaweed blooms.
