The invention discloses a method for preparing walnut polypeptide by an aqueous enzymatic method. The method comprises the following steps: by taking fresh walnut
meal as a
raw material, mildly crushing
plant cell walls through an aqueous enzymatic method (adding
cellulase,
pectinase and
amylase) to release
protein, shearing a
protein solution at a high speed, carrying out directional enzymolysis by adopting
alkaline protease under the condition of dynamic
pH regulation (
citric acid or dietary alkali regulation), desalting, and carrying out
spray drying to obtain the small-molecular-weight walnut polypeptide. The product obtained by the method is yellowish, has no peculiar smell, and has strong
oxidation resistance (for example, the
DPPH free radical
scavenging rate is greater than or equal to 80%). A traditional chemical wall breaking technology is replaced by an aqueous enzymatic method, strong acid and strong alkali are not needed, the process is green and safe, and the natural color and the
active structure are effectively reserved. The embodiment verifies that the walnut polypeptide is excellent in
oxidation resistance and sensory quality, the production process is compatible with existing
food processing equipment, and the walnut polypeptide has large-scale application potential. During industrial implementation, process parameters (such as
enzyme types and reaction time) can be optimized according to enzymolysis efficiency,
cost control and terminal application requirements.
