Functional Activity of Soybean Peptides and Their Application in Food Processing Industry
Soybean peptides are small molecular compounds obtained from the hydrolysis of soybean protein,with small molecular weight and generally composed of 3~6 amino acids.Soybean peptides are rich in various bioactive components,they have the advantages of easy absorption,high nutrition and low cost,and have biological functions such as anti-cancer,antioxidation and immunity enhancement,and they have good application prospects in the fields of food,pharmaceuticals,cosmetics and so on.However,they have application limitations,common limiting factors include bitterness,poor emulsibility and poor color,which hinder their widespread use in production.In this paper,the function of soybean peptides and their application in food processing are reviewed,so as to provide a theoretical basis for the comprehensive utilization of soybean peptides.
