Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of functional food technology, and in particular to a calf thymus peptide for improving immunity and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The immunity of the human body can also be called resistance in general, which is the ability of the body to resist external invasion when the body is invaded by bacteria and viruses. When the body is tired or the body function is not coordinated, the immunity of the human body will decrease.

[0003] Clinical studies have shown that the occurrence of diseases such as influenza, rhinitis, cough, allergic dermatitis, asthma and peptic ulcer is related to the decrease of immunity. Since the early symptoms of the decrease of immunity are not obvious, it is difficult for people to realize it. Once the body has obvious diseases, it means that the immunity has decreased significantly, which will bring great difficulties to the treatment of diseases and the recovery of patients. Age is an important reason for the decrease of the immunity of the human body. In addition to the decrease of immunity caused by age, bad living habits such as staying up late, smoking, alcoholism and lack of exercise will also harm the immunity of the human body. Therefore, whether for people of different age groups, improving immunity is the key to maintaining health.

[0004] The thymus is one of the important immune organs of the body. Thymus peptide is a group of polypeptide hormones secreted by the thymus, which mainly includes two types of proteins with molecular weights of about 9600 and 7000. It has therapeutic effects on various diseases of the body, such as various types of severe hepatitis, myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and viral pneumonia. It also has good adjuvant therapeutic effect on tumors and is currently mainly used in products for improving immunity. For example, Chinese patent CN115299545A discloses a solid beverage for improving human immunity, which comprises the following components in parts by weight: 80-120 parts of complex polypeptide, 10-25 parts of tremella polysaccharide, 10-25 parts of yeast beta-glucan and 30-40 parts of bovine colostrum powder; the complex polypeptide comprises one or more of tremella peptide powder, bovine bone collagen peptide, ginseng peptide powder and calf thymus peptide powder; the preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing the complex polypeptide, the tremella polysaccharide, the yeast beta-glucan and the bovine colostrum powder, drying, sterilizing to obtain the solid beverage for improving human immunity. The solid beverage for improving human immunity has the advantages of promoting human metabolism, enhancing the efficacy of protein, promoting material absorption, improving human immunity and anti-fatigue capacity.

[0005] At present, the calf thymus peptide preparations produced in China are all extracted from calf thymus to obtain high-activity thymus peptides. The extraction process includes acid extraction method, neutral extraction method and neutral homogenate liquid freeze-thaw extraction method.

[0006] Chinese patent CN 112450316 A discloses a method for preparing calf thymus peptide powder, which comprises the following steps: grinding 4 times, homogenizing 5 times, freezing and thawing 3 times, sterilizing, enzymatic hydrolysis, filtering, concentrating, filtering and spray drying. Through grinding, homogenizing, freezing and thawing and enzymatic hydrolysis processes, small molecular peptides with small molecular weight and high peptide content are fully extracted and retained, and high-quality calf thymus peptide powder with small molecular weight, high clarity and good taste is obtained through centrifugation and ceramic membrane filtration. The final product has a peptide content of up to 98.7% and a molecular weight distribution of 73.7% below 1000 daltons.

[0007] At present, there is a great demand for functional foods that can improve immunity, and there is an urgent need for an extraction method for calf thymus peptide with high content, high activity and stability. SUMMARY
