Basic information
Definition: Quinoa peptide is a peptide substance extracted from quinoa, which is a small molecule peptide formed by the hydrolysis of quinoa protein.
Extraction source: Made from quinoa rice as raw material, processed through processes such as defatting, crushing, enzymatic hydrolysis, drying, and packaging.
Ingredients: Rich in 22 types of amino acids, including 9 essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesize, as well as various minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber.
Effect and Function
- Enhance immunity: Helps promote the proliferation of human immune cells and antibody production, activate macrophage function. Experimental data shows that people who continuously consume quinoa peptides have a 30% reduction in cold frequency.
- Antioxidant: Contains a large amount of sulfur-containing amino acids, aromatic amino acids and other antioxidant substances. The content of superoxide dismutase (SOD) is three times that of blueberries, which can effectively eliminate free radicals, reduce oxidative stress damage to cells, prevent and repair cell damage caused by free radicals.
- Improve cardiovascular function: it can reduce blood lipids, triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood, expand blood vessels, reduce blood pressure, make blood circulation more smooth, and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
- Hypoglycemia: The specific amino acids it contains can simulate the effect of insulin to a certain extent, affecting insulin secretion and improving tissue absorption and utilization efficiency of glucose, helping to lower blood sugar. Taking quinoa peptides before meals can reduce postprandial blood sugar peak by 18%.
- Promote digestion: Rich in dietary fiber, it helps promote intestinal peristalsis and can serve as a good prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, and improving and maintaining the microecological balance in the intestine.
- Promoting protein synthesis: As a peptide substance, it has the function of promoting protein synthesis. Its branched chain amino acid content is 1.5 times that of whey protein, which can quickly repair muscle fiber damage and contribute to muscle growth and repair.
application area
In the food industry, it can be added as a nutritional enhancer to various foods, such as baked goods like bread, cookies, cakes, as well as beverages like milk, juice, and yogurt. It can also be used to make nutritional supplements like nutrition bars and protein powders.
In the field of health products: health products in the form of capsules, powders, liquid drinks, etc. are used for health purposes such as enhancing immunity, antioxidation, regulating blood sugar and blood lipids.
Cosmetics: because of its moisturizing, anti-aging, inhibiting melanin production and other effects, it can be used in cosmetics, such as face cream, lotion, facial mask, etc., to improve skin dryness, relaxation, wrinkles, spots and other problems.
Edible method
Direct mixing: Add quinoa peptide powder directly to warm water, milk, juice, and other beverages, stir well, and then drink.
Add to food: Quinoa peptide powder can be added to breakfast foods such as cereal, yogurt, and fruit and vegetable salads, as well as to cooking rice, pasta, stir fry, and other dishes to increase the nutritional value of the food.
