Abstract Nowadays consumers are completely health – conscious and informed about concept of functional food. Food proteins contain various bioactive peptides which show positive physiological effects in human body beyond their essential amino acids and nutritional values. Milk is a liquid food contains valuable proteins. Bioactive peptides have been identified within the amino acid sequences of milk proteins. In this context, the milk biopeptides have attracted interests and milk protein derived peptides showing several health beneficial activities such as opiate, antithrombotic, antioxidative, mineral – binding properties, hypocholesterolemic, osteoprotective, antimicrobial and antihypertensive. These biopeptides are inactive in the sequence of their parent protein in milk. In order to show health effects, they have to be released through the hydrolytic reactions like those catalyzed by digestive enzymes and reach to the target cells. This study provides updated and outstanding information about health benefits effects of milk bioactive peptides. It is also described how they make therapeutic effects on the consumers.
