Traditionally, peptides are defined as molecules that consist of between 2 and 50 amino acids, whereas proteins are made up of 50 or more amino acids. Peptides have lower molecular weight and less secondary structures, as well as higher number of ionizable groups and exposure of hydrophobic groups than native proteins. These facts imply that solubility, surface activity, foaming, and emulsifying properties may be different from that of the intact protein.
