This chapter discusses marine algal proteins and the harvesting of their desirable bioactive peptides, examining both their current use and future prospects. Recent studies have supported the idea that marine algae-derived proteins play a vital role in promoting health and nutrition in humans. It is suggested that marine-algal proteins are a promising approach to exploration of the bioactive peptides as new chemical entities in the pharmaceutical industry. A comprehensive analysis has provided wide acceptance of their use as functional foods with medicinal value. Taken together, marine algae-derived proteins and peptides have the potential to act as active ingredients in future nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. However, in order to create a platform for the commercialization of marine-algal proteins and peptides, cost- and time-efficient screening, isolation, purification, production and marketing strategies must be developed.
