The invention discloses a white and bitter-free
mung bean polypeptide with immunoregulatory activity and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: sequentially soaking peeled mung beans,
grinding into thick liquid, filtering, centrifuging, and removing precipitates to obtain a
mung bean protein solution; adjusting the pH value of the
mung bean protein solution to 5.5-6.0, carrying out
thermal denaturation, cooling, sequentially adding
neutral protease and
alkaline protease, and carrying out enzymolysis to obtain an enzymatic
hydrolysate; adjusting the pH value of the enzymatic
hydrolysate to 5.5-6.0, and carrying out
enzyme deactivation; adding
activated carbon into the enzymatic
hydrolysate for decoloration, and removing the precipitate to obtain a clarified polypeptide solution; adding a
flavor covering agent to obtain
flavor covering liquid; and carrying out
spray drying treatment on the
flavor covering liquid to obtain mung bean polypeptide
powder. The technical problem that in the prior art, the mung bean polypeptide is yellow in color, bitter in taste or high in cost can be solved, the color and taste characteristics of the mung bean polypeptide are improved, the polypeptide yield is increased, the preparation cost is reduced, the mung bean polypeptide with immunoregulatory activity is obtained, and the applicability of the mung bean polypeptide in the
food industry is enhanced.
