The Effects of Plant Active Substances on Animals

Discovery and detection of active substances of plant origin

By adopting different extraction methods or processing processes, a class of green and natural substances from natural plants is called plant extracts, which not only contain the original biological activities and natural factors of natural plants but also have disease-specific medicinal properties to a certain extent. The active ingredients and content of different plant extracts vary depending on the species or subspecies of the plant, the region where it is grown, and the time of harvesting, as well as the part where it is extracted.

Our Solution

Bioactive peptides

Bioactive peptides are peptide compounds that have biological or beneficial physiological effects. Depending on the source, plant-derived bioactive peptides can be classified as soybean active peptides, corn peptides, rice peptides, rice bran peptides, wheat peptides, peanut peptides, rapeseed peptides, and high F-value oligopeptides. Plant-derived bioactive peptides have mainly in easy digestion, easy absorption, hypocholesterolemia, hypotension, lipid promotion The main functions of plant-derived bioactive peptides are easy digestion, easy absorption, lowering cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, promoting fat metabolism, promoting mineral absorption, anti-oxidation, promoting bifidobacterium and The main functions of plant-derived bioactive peptides are easy digestion, easy absorption, hypocholesterolemia, hypotension, fat metabolism, mineral absorption, anti-oxidation, promotion of bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria proliferation, etc.

Advantages of peptides of plant origin

Structure of peptide
  • Viscosity is not affected by the concentration
  • Solutions are unaffected by heating and pH changes
  • Active peptides derived from enzymatically hydrolyzed plants have strong emulsification
  • Fast absorption rate and absorption speed
  • Have good hydration

Preparation of plant-derived bioactive peptides

  • Bio-extraction
  • Acid or base hydrolysis
  • Chemical synthesis method
  • Recombinant DNA method
  • Microbial fermentation method (raw protein → pretreatment → enzymatic digestion → separation → refinement → finished product)
Other extracts
Component Function
Polysaccharides They have biological functions such as improving nutrient digestibility, improving intestinal structure and morphology, enhancing intestinal barrier function, and improving immunity, and can enhance the antioxidant properties of the body and relieve oxidative stress in animals through different ways.
Polyphenols Phenols are secondary metabolites of plants and are widely found in the epidermis, roots, stems, flowers, and leaves of plants, including flavonoids, tannins, phenolic acids, and anthocyanins. Polyphenolic plant extracts have biological functions such as antioxidant, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and are widely used as a natural feed additive in livestock and poultry production.
Saponins Mainly found in terrestrial plants, they have antioxidant activity and can enhance the activity of animal antioxidant enzymes SOD, GSH-Px, CAT, etc., and enhance the immunity and oxidative stress resistance of the body.
Amino acids Amino acids are not only raw materials for protein synthesis but also have various biological functions such as antioxidant and anti-stress, immunomodulation, signal transduction, and regulation of target gene expression.
