Oats are considered the healthiest grain due to their high content of phytochemicals, dietary fibers, and protein. In recent years, oat protein and peptides have gained popularity as possible therapeutic or nutraceutical candidates. Generally, oat peptides with bioactive properties can be obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins and are known to have a variety of regulatory functions. This review article focused on the nutraceutical worth of oat proteins and peptides and also describes the application of oat protein as a functional ingredient. Outcomes of this study indicated that oat protein and peptides present various therapeutical properties, including antidiabetic, antioxidant, antihypoxic, antihypertensive, antithrombotic, antifatigue, immunomodulatory, and hypocholestrolaemic. However, most of the conducted studies are limited to conditions and less data is available on assessing the effectiveness of the oat peptides . Future efforts should be directed at performing systematic animal studies; in addition, clinical trials also need to be conducted to fully support the development of functional food products, nutraceutical, and therapeutical applications.
燕麦因其富含植物化学物质、膳食纤维和蛋白质而被认为是最健康的谷物。近年来,燕麦蛋白和肽作为潜在的治疗或营养保健品受到欢迎。一般来说,具有生物活性的燕麦肽可通过蛋白质的酶水解获得,并且已知具有多种调节功能。这篇综述文章重点关注了燕麦蛋白和肽的营养保健价值,还描述了燕麦蛋白作为功能性成分的应用。这项研究的结果表明,燕麦蛋白和肽具有多种治疗特性,包括抗糖尿病、抗氧化、抗缺氧、抗高血压、抗血栓形成、抗疲劳、免疫调节和降胆固醇作用。然而,大多数已开展的研究都局限于特定条件,关于评估燕麦肽有效性的数据较少。未来应致力于进行系统的动物研究;此外,还需要开展临床试验,以充分支持功能性食品、营养保健品和治疗应用的开发。
