Peptide is a kind of biochemical substance between amino acids and proteins, it is smaller than the protein molecule, the amount is smaller than the molecular weight of amino acids, is a fragment of protein. Two or more amino acids are linked by peptide bonds to form a “chain of amino acids” or a “cluster of amino acids” is peptide. Among them, a peptide composed of more than 10 amino acids are called polypeptide, and composed of 5 to 9 amino acids is called oligopeptide, composed of 2 to 3 amino acids is called small molecule peptide, for short small peptide.
Smaller peptides from plant proteolysis have more advantages
With the development of research, production and application of trace element chelates, people have gradually realized the importance of nutrition of trace element chelates of small peptides. The sources of peptides include animal proteins and plant proteins. Our company uses small peptides from plant protease hydrolysis has more advantages: High biosafety, fast absorption, low energy consumption of absorption, carrier is not easy to saturate. It is currently known high safety, high absorption, high stability of trace element chelate ligand.
Comparison of stability coefϐicient between amino acid chelated copper and small peptide chelated copper
Studies have shown that the stability coeffificient of small peptides binding to trace elements is higher than that of amino acids binding to trace elements.
Small peptide chelated minerals (SPM)
Small peptide trace element chelate is to decompose high-quality plant protease into small peptides with molecular weight of 180-1000 Dalton (D) by using directional enzymatic hydrolysis, shearing and other deep biological enzymatic hydrolysis technology, and then coordinate inorganic metal ions with chelated coordination groups (nitrogen atoms, oxygen atoms) in small peptide molecules by targeting coordination technology. The small peptide with the metal central ion, forms a closed ring chelate. The specifific products are: Peptide copper chelate, peptide ferrous chelate, peptide zinc chelate, peptide manganese chelate.
