Description
Summary:Self-assembling peptides are rapidly gaining attention as novel biomaterials for food and biomedical applications. Peptides self-assemble when triggered by physical or chemical factors due to their versatile physicochemical characteristics. Peptide self-assembly, when combined with the health-promoting bioactivity of peptides, can also result in a plethora of biofunctionalities of the biomaterials. This perspective highlights current developments in the use of food-derived self-assembling peptides as biomaterials, bioactive nutraceuticals, and potential dual functioning bioactive biomaterials. Also discussed are the challenges and opportunities in the use of self-assembling bioactive peptides in designing biocompatible, biostable, and bioavailable multipurpose biomaterials.
