This session will discuss a model that uses AI-based approaches to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of bioactive peptide discovery and may inspire further collaboration between biochemists and bioinformaticians. Also, plant protein ingredients are under-utilized due to unpleasant flavor and poor functionalities. By understanding the compounds responsible for the flavor issues, it is possible to minimize their impacts on sensory characteristics of the protein. In addition, plant-based protein continues to extend into new markets. A talk will focus on how modulating protein structures can lead to more desirable functionalities.
