Preface
This book entitled “Opioid Food Peptides: Significant Exorphins from Food Sources” describes vividly the production of exorphins from daily foods like wheat, rice, milk, soybean, and spinach. The exorphins include casomorphins, lactorphins, lactoferroxins, and casoxins (milk), gluten exorphins (wheat), rubiscolins (spinach RuBisCo), soymorphins (soybean), and oryzatensin (rice albumin). The structural features of these exorphins are described that are critical for the demonstration of opioid activity. These peptides have structural resemblance with the endorphins and morphine and thereby bind endogenous opioid receptors. This book explains in detail the opioid activity of these exorphins assessed through pharmacological techniques. Moreover, a vibrant description of the classification of these exorphins is given
