RETRACTED: Hemp bioactive peptides: Nutrition, functional properties and action mechanisms to maximize their nutraceutical applications and future prospects

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This review article has been retracted at the request of the Editor in Chief and authors. The article has been retracted as it duplicates several figures from a paper that had already appeared in Trends in Food Science & Technology, Volume 127, September 2022, Pages 303-318, without giving appropriate credit to this paper. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article falls short of the scientific quality requirement of the journal. The third author admits responsibility for the oversight and wishes to apologize to the readers and editors of Food Chemistry for the inconvenience. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.

Keywords: Functional food; Hemp peptides, bioactivity; Hemp protein; Mechanisms of action.
