Abstract: In recent years, significant progress has been made in the study of bioactive peptides (BAP) derived from milk proteins and their functions owing to the rapid development of modern separation and purification technology and functional monomics. An increasing number of BAPs have been discovered and recognized as a potential ingredient for next-generation functional dairy foods for their health benefits. As dairy processing will develop toward refinement and functionalization in the future, milk-derived BAPs will certainly be sought after by researchers for the development of new dairy products. This article reviews recent studies on milk-derived BAPs and their health-promoting properties such as immunoregulatory, antihypertensive, hypolipidemic, antioxidant and antibacterial effects, aiming to provide valuable information for further research and development of milk-derived BAPs.
