The present invention relates to a
ginseng peptide and a preparation method and application thereof, belonging to the field of
biotechnology. The present invention provides a
ginseng peptide, wherein the
ginseng peptide comprises a characteristic peptide having an
amino acid sequence of at least one of LY, MM, LR, AP, LAR, RLDFR, SALAFR, LLLLGH and LLLLLHG. The present invention obtains ginseng peptides by treating fermented ginseng residue, and identifies the characteristic peptides containing the
amino acid sequences of LY, MM, LR, AP, LAR, RLDFR, SALAFR, LLLLGH and LLLLLHG in the ginseng peptides by HPLC-MS / MS. The present invention confirms through experiments that ginseng peptides and fermented ginseng hydrolysates containing ginseng peptides have excellent
efficacy in inhibiting the differentiation of
bone marrow mononuclear cells into osteoclasts, can improve
hormone-induced
osteoporosis, and can be applied to products for improving
osteoporosis and its related symptoms.
