Preparation and Bioactivity Research Progress of Egg White Peptides
Eggs,as one of the major sources of dietary protein for humans,hold a significant market share.However,the research and market expansion of deep-processed egg products are still insufficient.Oligopeptides prepared from food proteins by enzymatic hydrolysis are easily absorbed and have promoting effects on human health.In recent years,egg white peptides have been extensively studied,and their biological functions have been gradually revealed,including antioxidant,antihypertensive,antimicrobial,immune-regulating,anti-inflammatory,and hypoglycemic activities.The research of egg white peptides is useful for utilizing poultry egg resources and enhancing their value-added benefits.Egg white peptides are expected to be applied in fields such as food,cosmetics,and medicine,providing significant economic and societal benefits.This article provides an overview of the preparation process and bioactivity of egg white peptides,aiming to offer valuable references for their further development and application.
