Advance of bioactive peptides derived from egg white

Egg is rich in resources in our country.Egg white is considered as a rich source of high quality proteins with various bioactive peptide fractions. Enzymatic hydrolysis of egg white can be used to release bioactive fractions and different enzymes have different abilities in releasing bioactive fractions,like antioxidant activity,angiotensin converting enzyme( ACE) inhibitory activity,anticoagulation properties,antimicrobial activity and improving memory ability.In order to provide the references for the related research of bioactive peptides derived from egg white,the preparation and evolution method of activity were introduced. Meanwhile,the development direction in future of egg white peptides were discussed.
