Lots of scientists are focusing their attention and interest on peptides for their applications related either to their biofunctionality (metal-complexation, emulsification, targeting properties, etc.) and their bioactivity (antimicrobial, antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-cancer, etc.) with some methodologies and applications common to this type of biomolecules.

The program will focus on the production of functional peptide ingredients with targeted bioactivities or techno-functional properties and on their relevant separation strategies. The separation dimension will cover both analytical-scale and process-scale techniques used to isolate, purify, and characterize peptides.

This scientific day will boost the scientific community working on such peptides and will be the starting point for future collaboration on this hot topic, with a specificity on the screening and separation strategies used for their discovery.
