About the Database

FermFooDb addresses the need for a consolidated platform focused specifically on peptides obtained from the fermentation of various food matrices. During fermentation, microorganisms like Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), yeast, and fungi use proteolytic systems to break down proteins into bioactive peptides that offer numerous health benefits.

The database integrates data from:

Manual Curation: Over 2300 research articles were screened, resulting in 134 relevant papers.

Comprehensive Metrics: Information includes peptide sequences, mass, IC50 values, starter cultures, and fermentation conditions.

数据库简介
FermFooDb满足了对专门聚焦各类食品基质发酵所得肽类的整合型平台的需求。发酵过程中，乳酸菌（Lactic Acid Bacteria，LAB）、酵母菌与真菌等微生物可通过蛋白水解系统将蛋白质分解为具有多重健康益处的生物活性肽。

本数据库整合了以下来源的数据：
- 人工甄选：筛选超过2300篇研究论文，最终纳入134篇相关文献。
- 多维度指标库：收录信息涵盖肽序列、分子量、半最大抑制浓度（IC50）、发酵剂菌种及发酵条件。
