Research Progress on the Preparation and Application of Mulberry Leaf Protein Peptides
Mulberry leaves are homology of medicine and food resources with rich proteins and amino acid species,which make them regarded as high-quality plant protein materials.Mulberry leaves can not only be used traditionally in rearing silkworms but can also be developed for diverse market applications.In recent years,peptide research has attracted much more attention due to its excellent biological activity,solubility,and absorption characteristics.Increasing research are outcome of the mulberry leaf protein peptide.This paper comprehensively summarizes and analyzes the preparation technology,biological efficacy,and application of mulberry leaf protein peptide.The activity related to antioxidant,antidiabetic,and antihypertension,and their application in medicine,food,and feeding fields are summarized and prospected,which aims to help the development of future research and the diversifying application of mulberry leaf protein peptides.
