Bioactive Peptides in Greek Goat Colostrum: Relevance to Human Metabolism.

ABSTRACT: Colostrum is essential for the survival and development of newborn mammals. This primary source of nourishment during the first days of infant life is rich in functional components conductive to the enhancement of neonate immunity and growth. Compared with mature milk, a higher protein and peptide content is observed in colostrum, whilst it is low in fat and carbohydrates. The functional properties of colostrum are closely linked to the release of bioactive peptides during the gastrointestinal digestion of colostrum proteins. Our study aimed to comprehensively analyze the whey proteome of colostrum from indigenous Greek goats and to examine the influence of bioactive peptides released during digestion on human metabolism. Colostrum and mature milk samples from healthy ewes were subjected t
