Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of food engineering, and specifically relates to a walnut peptide and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the global population ages, my country is also facing dramatic changes in its population structure. By the end of 2023, my country's population aged 60 and above will reach 297 million, accounting for 21.1% of the national population, and is expected to increase to 37.2% by 2050. The public health challenges brought about by an aging population are becoming increasingly severe, especially the decline in cognitive function among the elderly, which has caused huge emotional burdens and economic pressures on families and society. Studies have shown that dietary intervention can effectively protect cognitive function or delay its decline.

[0003] Walnut kernels are rich in nutrients such as 40%-65% oil, 14%-17% protein, and 5.8% vitamins. They have multiple functions such as strengthening the stomach, nourishing blood, moistening the lungs, benefiting the kidneys, and nourishing the brain. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, walnut kernels can nourish qi and blood, moisten dryness and resolve phlegm, warm the lungs and moisten the intestines, and are sweet and mild in nature. Kaibao Mucao says that walnut kernels "make people strong, moisturize the skin, and blacken the hair and beard". Walnut meal, a byproduct of walnut kernel oil extraction, contains rich walnut protein and can be processed in depth to turn waste into treasure and develop products that can nourish the brain.
