Debittering and Masking Soy Peptides for Oral Consumption and Immune‐Boosting Function
Soy peptides (SPs) have been extensively studied with an emphasis on their immune‐boosting effects and production‐associated bitterness. This associated bitterness affects SPs’ oral consumption despite their bioactivities. In this review, the immune‐boosting functions, factors affecting bitterness, and consumers’ perceptions of SPs are explored ...
