Five of thirteen peptides identified in kiwicha protein digests show high potential to exert multifunctional properties. Thus kiwicha proteins might start to gain importance as ingredients for functional foods for the prevention and/or management of chronic diseases related to oxidative stress, hypertension and/or diabetes. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
