Basic information
Definition: Wheat peptides generally refer to wheat oligopeptides, which are small molecular peptide substances obtained by extracting proteins from natural food wheat protein powder, and then using directed enzyme digestion and specific small peptide separation techniques.
Production process: wheat gluten is used as raw material, which is made by the processes of sizing, protease enzymolysis, separation, filtration, spray drying, etc.
Appearance: Usually white or light gray powder, no lumps, no bad odor, no bitterness, with good water solubility and stability.
Nutrition and efficacy
- Regulation of blood sugar: The oligomethionine in wheat peptide can promote insulin secretion, help regulate blood sugar level, and help improve the symptoms of diabetes patients.
- Lowering blood pressure: It can inhibit the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme, preventing the conversion of angiotensinogen into angiotensin II, which can increase blood pressure, thereby reducing blood pressure without affecting normal blood pressure.
- Enhance immunity: it can stimulate the proliferation of lymphocytes, enhance the phagocytosis of macrophages, improve the ability of the body to resist external pathogen infection, and reduce the incidence rate of the body.
- Antioxidant: As an antioxidant peptide, it contains multiple amino acids that can enhance antioxidant enzyme activity, eliminate free radicals in the body, inhibit lipid peroxidation, help maintain the activity of various enzymes in the human body, promote metabolism, and delay aging.
- Protecting the gastrointestinal mucosa: Helps maintain the normal structure and function of the intestine, promotes digestion and absorption, protects the gastrointestinal mucosa, and can be used as a special nutrient for intestinal dysfunction.
- Relieve physical fatigue: During human exercise, there is damage to skeletal muscle cells and protein degradation. Wheat peptides can help the body restore protein synthesis in muscles, allowing people to quickly eliminate fatigue.
- Enhance hypoxia tolerance: Under hypoxic conditions, wheat peptides can provide the amino acids and small peptides needed for metabolism, thereby improving the body’s ability to adapt to hypoxia.
- Promoting skin wound healing: Multiple amino acids in wheat peptides have special effects on the synthesis of cells and special proteins in the skin and body fluids, which can promote the self synthesis ability of collagen after surgery and effectively promote wound healing after surgery.
Application Fields
In the food industry, it can be used as a nutritional supplement or flavor enhancer, added to flavored dairy beverages, sports drinks, fruit juice drinks, milk powder, protein powder, seasonings, meat products, dairy products, pastries and other foods, providing rich amino acids and nutritional support for food, while improving the taste and texture of food.
Medical and health care field: it can be used as pharmaceutical excipients or components of health care products to prevent and treat some chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc. It can also be used for fracture recovery, etc. to help repair damaged tissues.
In the field of cosmetics, it is often used as a cosmetic ingredient, such as in skincare products, which can activate skin cell activity, repair damaged cells, enhance the connection of tight proteins in skin tissue, make the skin firmer and more active, and also have moisturizing and antioxidant effects, slowing down the formation of wrinkles; Used in hair care products to maintain the curl of hair.
Industrial field: It can be used as raw materials to prepare various industrial products, such as wheat protein powder, amino acids, etc. These products are widely used in food, feed, chemical and other fields.
Textile industry: It can be used as a fiber modifier or dye additive to improve the quality and performance of textiles, such as increasing the softness, glossiness, or wrinkle resistance of textiles.
In the agricultural field, it can be used as a plant growth regulator to promote plant growth and development, improve crop stress resistance and yield.
