Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are diverse group of natural proteins present in animals, plants, insects and bacteria. These peptides are responsible for defense of host from pathogenic organisms. Chemical, enzymatic and recombinant techniques are used for the synthesis of antimicrobial peptides. These peptides have been found to be an alternative to the chemical preservatives. Currently, nisin is the only antimicrobial peptide, which is widely utilized in the preservation of food. Antimicrobial peptides can be used alone or in combination with other antimicrobial, essential oils and polymeric nanoparticles to enhance the shelf-life of food. This review presents an overview on different types of antimicrobial peptides, purification techniques, mode of action and application in food preservation.
抗菌肽(AMPs)是存在于动物、植物、昆虫和细菌中的多种天然蛋白质。这些肽负责保护宿主免受病原生物侵害。化学、酶促和重组技术用于合成抗菌肽。已发现这些肽可替代化学防腐剂。目前,乳酸链球菌素是唯一广泛用于食品保鲜的抗菌肽。抗菌肽可单独使用,或与其他抗菌剂、精油和聚合物纳米颗粒联合使用,以延长食品的保质期。本文综述了不同类型抗菌肽、纯化技术、作用方式及其在食品保鲜中的应用。
