The demand for food nutraceuticals and functional foods is growing among consumers worldwide. Academia, researchers, and the food industry are working in a fragmented manner, with technologies developed at each level often not compiled in a unified resource for stakeholders. Typically, the foods we consume are enriched with certain nutrients but deficient in others. Microbial fermentation can enhance the nutritional properties of food. Bioactive peptides produced through fermentation exhibit antioxidative, anticancer, and antidiabetic properties. Increased efforts from the food industry are needed to focus research on peptides and their applications as food-grade preservatives and functional food ingredients.
