Resumen
Este artículo editorial aborda el potencial de los péptidos bioactivos antioxidantes como herramienta para promover sistemas productivos sostenibles, saludables y económicamente viables, en línea con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS 3, 9 y 12). A partir de una revisión crítica de literatura científica reciente, se expone el creciente interés por la obtención de antioxidantes naturales derivados de subproductos agroindustriales, destacando su aplicación en las industrias alimentaria, nutracéutica y cosmética. Se analizan las propiedades funcionales de estos péptidos, su capacidad para prevenir procesos oxidativos y los factores que determinan su eficacia, como la secuencia de aminoácidos y la especificidad enzimática en su producción. Asimismo, se subraya el valor estratégico de los territorios agropecuarios para el desarrollo de bioeconomías locales a partir de tecnologías de valorización de residuos. Finalmente, se discuten los principales desafíos técnicos y regulatorios que aún limitan su adopción masiva, proponiendo como vía de solución el fortalecimiento de redes territoriales de ciencia, tecnología e innovación que impulsen el desarrollo y validación de estas aplicaciones funcionales.
