Research progress in the antioxidant peptides derived from egg protein

Antioxidant peptide is one of hotspots in the study of biological field, due to the features of high activity, small molecular weight and easy absorption. Egg is rich in protein, and its amino acid composition is close to the proportion of human essential amino acid, so it is a good source of preparation of antioxidant peptides. Antioxidant peptides derived from egg protein was reviewed, and its antioxidant activity and the relationship between structure and activity. In addition, this paper pointed out the problems existing in the research of antioxidant peptides derived from egg protein, and made outlooks about the research and application of antioxidant peptides derived from egg, these might offer some references for the related research.
