Abstract: |
This paper evaluates the safety for humans with regard to consumption of protein hydrolysates and fractions thereof, including
bioactive peptides. The available literature on the safety of protein, protein hydrolysates, fractions thereof and free amino acids
on relevant food legislation is reviewed and evaluated. A new concept for the safety assessment of protein hydrolysates and
fractions thereof is developed. Benchmarks for the evaluation are safety of total protein intake, safety of free amino acid intake,
documented history of safe use, outcome of questionnaires in efficacy studies and safety studies.
