Application of food derived oligopeptides in health food

Health food refers to the food that claims to have specific health care function or for the purpose of supplementing vitamins and minerals, that is, it is suitable for specific people to eat, has the function of regulating the body, does not aim at treating diseases, and does not produce acute, subacute or chronic hazards to the human body At present, the functions of health food can be divided into 27 kinds, including: enhancing immunity, alleviating physical fatigue, increasing bone density, having auxiliary protective function for chemical liver injury, regulating intestinal flora, having auxiliary protective function for gastric mucosa, antioxidant function, etc Food derived oligopeptide (hereinafter referred to as oligopeptide) is a kind of small protein peptide with biological activity, which is made from protein for daily consumption and processed by enzymolysis, separation and refining The oligopeptides not only retain the nutritional value of the original protein, but also have good solubility, thermal stability, acid and alkali resistance and other processing characteristics A large number of studies show that more than 70% of the protein in food is absorbed by human body in the form of small molecular peptide, and only less than 30% is absorbed in the form of amino acid, which makes the oligopeptide can be quickly absorbed and utilized by human body At the same time, oligopeptides also have the physiological activities of enhancing immunity, assisting treatment of chemical liver injury, antioxidation, maintaining the structure and function of intestinal barrier, and are excellent health food raw materials As a small molecular protein with biological activity, food derived oligopeptides have not only high nutrition but also high functional activity Using oligopeptides as the basic base of health food, supplemented with other functional active substances, can achieve regulatory function and supplement nutrients at the same time For example, the protein powder health food developed with soybean peptide, ovalbumin peptide, whey protein peptide and other oligopeptides made from complete protein as raw materials to enhance immunity and relieve physical fatigue has been recognized by some health products manufacturers, and dozens of products have been obtained with the batch number of health food Corn oligopeptides are rich in branched amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine), glutamic acid, alanine and proline This unique amino acid can help sober up and protect the liver Corn oligopeptides can be used in the development of sobering up products and health products with auxiliary protective effect on chemical liver injury.
