This invention relates to an
asparagine peptide mixture, its preparation method, and its application in the preparation of products that
delay skin aging, belonging to the field of cosmetic technology. The
asparagine peptide mixture provided by this invention is an active
peptide mixture with a molecular weight <5 kDa, prepared from
asparagus root tubers via
enzymatic hydrolysis. This
asparagine peptide mixture can significantly enhance the
vitality of
human skin fibroblasts (HSF), promote
cell proliferation, and enhance the
tissue repair capacity of HSF cells; it can effectively inhibit β-
galactosidase activity while increasing the expression level of pre-
type I collagen. Furthermore, this invention identifies the top ten most active short peptides in the asparagine peptide mixture through structural identification and activity screening, and demonstrates through molecular docking that the asparagine peptide mixture intervenes in the
skin aging process through multiple pathways, providing
solid in vitro scientific evidence for the development of natural peptide
cosmetics with multiple anti-aging effects from the traditional medicinal
plant asparagus.
