Bioactive peptides attract the attention of researchers thanks to their high potential to beneficially influence human health. Various activities are reported, and some of these peptides are commercialized as therapeutic agents. Food-related proteins represent an excellent source in this regard. However, the identification, purification, and characterization of bioactive peptides require а complex approach. The full range of analytical techniques is used in combination with the chemical and biological properties of the peptides. The emerging "omics" techniques and "in silico" methods have given a new direction to peptide analysis in recent years. Developing new methods, rapid and low-cost, for the identification, characterization and purification, is a challenging task because of the complexity of food samples. However, bioinformatics is a promising technique for their exploration. These new strategies can predict different types of peptides, their properties and represent a new horizon for releasing their potential. That is why, in this review, we summarize information about methods used for purification and analysis of food-derived bioactive peptides so far, as well as present our point of view about the role of bioinformatics in this process.
