The invention relates to the technical field related to microcapsules, in particular to a preparation method of a wheat alpha-
glucosidase inhibitory peptide microcapsule, which comprises the following steps: by taking wheat vital
gluten as a
raw material, carrying out enzymolysis by
alkaline protease to obtain alpha-
glucosidase inhibitory peptide, and then carrying out enzymolysis by adopting a
sodium alginate-
chitosan composite
wall material system to obtain the wheat alpha-
glucosidase inhibitory peptide microcapsule. By optimizing key parameters such as the core-wall ratio of 1: 2.632, the
calcium chloride concentration of 2.48% and the
curing time of 31.83 min, the double-layer microcapsule with the pH response characteristic is prepared by an ionic
gel method. The
embedding rate of the prepared microcapsule reaches 78.26%, the 2-hour release rate in simulated gastric juice (pH 2.0) is smaller than or equal to 21.38%, the 4-hour accumulative release rate in simulated
intestinal juice is larger than or equal to 84.98%, and
stomach protection and intestinal
targeted release of the active
peptide are achieved; meanwhile, the
peptide loss rate of the product under the storage condition of 4 DEG C is less than or equal to 11.13%, the
loss rate in the environment with the pH value of 2.0 is only 12.72%, and the stability of the active
peptide is remarkably improved. The obtained product can effectively protect the activity of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitory peptide and improve the
bioavailability of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitory peptide, and a new scheme is provided for developing functional hypoglycemic food.
