Claim 5:
6. A method for decreasing the rate of decomposition of a food product, a cosmetic product, or a hair care product comprising incorporating into the food product, the cosmetic product, or the hair care product, an effective amount of one or more peptides, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a physiologically acceptable mineral capable of degrading the food product, the cosmetic product, or the hair care product,
wherein each of the one or more peptides consist of two to five amino acid residues, at least two of the residues are aspartic acid, and the one or more peptides do not contain histidine, wherein the effective amount of the one or more peptides is from 0.02 mM to 6 mM;
wherein the physiologically acceptable mineral is intentionally added to the food product, the cosmetic product, or the hair care product or is endogenously present in the food product, the cosmetic product, or the hair care product, wherein the physiologically acceptable mineral is copper, iron, chromium, zinc, manganese, or a combination of the foregoing; and
wherein the effective amount of the one or more peptides slows metal catalyzed oxidative degradation of the food product, the cosmetic product, or the hair care product.
