Apricot kernel seed proteins, containing over 60 % protein, have gained attention as a potential solution to the global protein shortage and sustainable use of agricultural by-products. While research has primarily focused on their content, composition, and structural properties, there remains a lack of comprehensive studies on the extraction methods and the preparation of bioactive peptides. This review highlights the nutritional value of apricot kernel seed proteins, explores strategies to reduce allergenicity, and examines their bioactive peptide functions. It also discusses the potential applications of these proteins in food technology and pharmaceuticals, emphasizing their versatility. The valorization of apricot kernel seed proteins could help address protein scarcity, but challenges persist, including optimizing extraction techniques, mitigating allergenicity, and developing bioactive peptides with diverse physiological effects. Future research should focus on enhancing protein extraction, reducing allergenicity, and advancing the mass production of functional foods and therapeutic agents from apricot kernel seed proteins. Interdisciplinary efforts are essential to fully unlock their potential and contribute to sustainable development.
杏仁核籽蛋白的蛋白质含量超过60%，作为解决全球蛋白质短缺问题和可持续利用农业副产品的潜在方案而受到关注。虽然研究主要集中在其含量、组成和结构特性上，但对其提取方法和生物活性肽的制备仍缺乏全面研究。本综述强调了杏仁核籽蛋白的营养价值，探索了降低致敏性的策略，并研究了其生物活性肽功能。还讨论了这些蛋白质在食品技术和制药领域的潜在应用，强调了它们的多功能性。杏仁核籽蛋白的增值有助于解决蛋白质短缺问题，但挑战依然存在，包括优化提取技术、减轻致敏性以及开发具有多种生理效应的生物活性肽。未来的研究应侧重于提高蛋白质提取率、降低致敏性以及推进从杏仁核籽蛋白大规模生产功能性食品和治疗剂。跨学科努力对于充分挖掘其潜力并为可持续发展做出贡献至关重要。
