A Comprehensive Review on Antioxidant Activity of Functional Ingredients Derived from Egg Proteins

Abstract:

China is a large country in the production of eggs. Eggs are very popular because they are cheap, high in quality and nutritious. Antioxidant active substances have been found in egg protein and protein derivatives. Therefore, in this review, the research progress on the antioxidant activity of functional components derived from egg protein and the corresponding product development were introduced, and the various models used to study the antioxidant activity of egg components were summarized, including in vitro chemical models, cell models, rat/mouse models and Caenorhabditis elegans models. The future research trend and practical application were prospected to provide a reference for the research and development of bioactive substances from egg sources.
