As one of the most widely cultivated crops both domestically and internationally, peas are familiar to all. This crop is abundant in carbohydrates and proteins, and can be utilized in a variety of products. In recent years, there has been a shift from simply processing and consuming the surface of peas to focusing more on the development of pea protein. Let’s learn more about it together.
What is pea peptide?
Pea peptides are made from pea protein as raw material and using directed enzyme cutting technology of biocomplex enzymes to enzymatically hydrolyze peanut meal. It contains 8 essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body, providing nutrients for growth and development. Additionally, it exhibits favorable physical and chemical properties as well as functional attributes.
After functional experiments on pea polypeptides, researchers found that pea polypeptides have better solubility, water retention, oil absorption, foaming, emulsifying, gelling and other excellent functional properties than pea protein. In recent years, pea peptide has been extensively researched and utilized in medicine, health products, and the food industry.
Ingredients of pea peptide:
Pea peptide is rich in amino acids, including essential amino acids and semi-essential amino acids, such as lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, etc. These amino acids are of great significance to maintain the health and elasticity of the skin. Pea peptide contains a variety of bioactive peptides and antioxidant substances, such as polyphenols and vitamins, which help to promote the synthesis of collagen, help skin fight free radical damage, and delay skin aging.
What are the effects of pea peptide?
As a high quality skin care ingredient, pea peptide has a variety of effects, and its application in skin care products is becoming more and more extensive. Here are the main benefits of pea peptide in skin care:
Anti-aging and moisturizing
Bioactive peptides in pea peptides can promote the synthesis of collagen, enhance skin elasticity and firmness, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, effectively lock in skin moisture, increase skin hydration, improve skin condition, and have beautifying and skincare effects.
Antioxidant properties
Antioxidants in pea peptides can help the skin combat the damage caused by free radicals, reduce oxidative stress on the skin, promote skin metabolism, help fade dark spots, even out skin tone, make the skin appear brighter and smoother, and delay the skin aging process.
High-quality functional beverage ingredient
Pea peptides have a small molecular weight, high nutritional value, and are more easily absorbed. Research has found that the abundant content of essential amino acids in pea protein can provide energy for life activities, supply necessary nutrients for human growth and development, and possess favorable physicochemical properties and functional characteristics, making them a premium ingredient for functional beverages.
With the increasing demand for natural ingredients, pea peptides are playing an increasingly important role in various fields such as nutrition and health. In this grand human endeavor, CHITI has always adhered to its brand mission, relying on unique innovations and a rich product portfolio to bring diverse nutritional solutions to customers.
