Abstract:In the production process of fermented meat products, due to its special technology, the protein can be hydrolyzed strongly to produce bioactive peptides with physiological functions. Bioactive peptides are short chain amino acid peptides, which can exert various biological activities such as blood pressure lowering, anti-oxidation and immune regulation after release from the parent protein. In this paper, the source and function of bioactive peptides in fermented meat products and the main research methods of bioactive peptides in fermented meat products are reviewed.
