Abstract:
The functional properties of hemp seeds are due to its high nutritional value which provides important beneficial characteristics for human health, and also to the presence of various bioactive compounds, including unique phenolic compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective actions; bioactive peptides, but also two of the main cannabinoids found in Cannabis sativa, Tetrahydrocannabinol and Cannabidiol. it has been shown that although hemp seed proteins have limited bioactive properties, their hydrolysis provides hydrolyzates with higher bioactivity, including antioxidant, antihypertensive, antiproliferative, hypocholesterolemic, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective.
