谷胱甘肽的生产及其在食品工业中的应用

Research progress on the glutathione production and application in food industry

谷胱甘肽(GSH)是由L-谷氨酸、L-半胱氨酸和甘氨酸缩合而成的一种生物活性三肽,在自然界中广泛分布并在生物体内具有多种重要的生理功能,在临床医药、食品工业及有关生物研究领域都有着广泛的用途。文章对谷胱甘肽的生产方法及其应用情况,特别是在食品工业的应用进行了综述。

Glutathione （the reduced form of GSH）, consisted of L-glutamate, L-cysteine and glycine,is one of the major non-protein thiol compounds. GSH is widely distributed in nature and plays many important physiological roles in living cells. GSH could be widely used in the many fields,i, e. clinical medicine, food industry and biological research, the demand of GSH has been expanding. This paper mainly discussed the research progress on the production and application in food industry of glutathione.
