Biological Activity of Plant-Derived Peptides, Hydrolysates and Digests in the Caco-2 Intestinal Epithelial Model: A Systematic Critical Review
Overall, plant-derived peptides show directionally consistent bioactivity in Caco-2 models, but the evidence rarely identifies the responsible molecular species or confirms physiological attainability, and future work should prioritise metabolic characterisation, exposure-justified concentrations, and multi-omics appro...
