  Abstract: There is a growing concern on the correct use and dispose of the by-products of the food industry, and chicken slaughterhouse, such as cartilage, combs, and wattles may be strong candidates as a protein source for bioactive peptides, however it is crucial to understand how the proteolysis process may affect the peptide profile and their bioactivity. The objective of this work was to obtain protein hydrolysates from chicken sternal cartilage …
