Product Overview
Walnuts are a type of nut rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential and beneficial to the human body, supporting brain health. Walnuts also contain a significant amount of protein, carbohydrates, and various vitamins and minerals, providing energy, boosting immunity, and supplementing nutrients, making them a valuable health food.
Walnut peptide is a nutrient extracted from walnuts containing various amino acids. Scientific analysis shows that walnut peptide is rich in amino acids and vitamins and is highly absorbable by the human body.
Walnut Peptide Production Process
- Raw Material Preparation
Select mature, fresh walnuts, remove the shell, membrane, and impurities, and then grind the walnut kernels into a powder.
- Hydrolysis
Add the walnut kernel powder to an appropriate amount of water and let it soak for 10-20 minutes, then proceed with the hydrolysis reaction. Specifically, mix the soaked walnut kernel powder with enzyme solution, control the temperature and pH, and allow the reaction to proceed for the required time to achieve the desired degree of hydrolysis.
- Purification
The hydrolyzed liquid contains walnut peptide, protein, and other impurities and needs purification. This involves using a centrifuge to separate the liquid, with proteins and impurities precipitating at the bottom of the centrifuge tube, and the upper liquid containing walnut peptide. Then, expose the liquid to ultraviolet light for sterilization. Finally, use an ultrafiltration membrane to filter the liquid, extracting pure walnut peptide.
Benefits and Effects of Walnut Peptide
- Brain Health and Cognitive Improvement
Walnut peptide contains a high amount of glutamic acid, which, after being absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract into the brain, produces inhibitory neurotransmitter δ-aminobutyric acid, regulating brain function. It is a crucial substance affecting cognitive and memory development, especially in adolescents.
- Fatigue Reduction and Sleep Improvement
Walnut peptide quickly replenishes energy, promotes lipid metabolism, and restores physical strength, alleviating muscle fatigue. The abundant amino acids help maintain normal neural activity, improve sleep quality, and relax brain nerves.
- Cancer Risk Reduction
Studies have demonstrated that walnut peptide has anti-cancer properties. It alleviates pain in cancer patients, enhances white blood cell count, boosts immunity, and supports liver protection.
- Antioxidant Properties and Anti-Aging
Excess free radicals in the body can damage cells and organs, accelerating aging. Walnut peptide can prevent or reduce the chain reaction of free radicals, clearing them out and offering strong antioxidant activity, which helps delay aging.
- Immune Function Enhancement
Walnut peptide is suitable for special nutritional supplements, especially as an intestinal nutrient and liquid food for patients in recovery, elderly individuals with declining digestive function, meeting their protein needs.
- Gastrointestinal Function Improvement and Circulation Enhancement
Consuming walnut peptide rich in amino acids promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, enhancing gastrointestinal function, digestion, and overall blood circulation.
Applications of Walnut Peptide
Health Products: Walnut peptide, rich in glutamic acid, plays a crucial role in cognitive and memory development, especially in adolescents. It is also suitable as a nutritional supplement for special patients, particularly in digestive system nutrients and liquid foods for patients in recovery or elderly individuals with reduced digestive function.
Clinical Medicine: Research has shown walnut peptide's effectiveness in combating cancer. It also alleviates cancer-related pain, boosts white blood cell count, enhances immunity, and supports liver health. Additionally, it promotes beneficial gut bacteria growth, enhances gastrointestinal function, and improves digestion and blood circulation.
Beauty Products: Excess free radicals can damage cells and accelerate aging. Walnut peptide can block or reduce free radical chain reactions, clear free radicals, and offer strong antioxidant activity to help delay aging.
Other Uses: Walnut peptide quickly replenishes energy, promotes lipid metabolism, and restores physical strength, alleviating muscle fatigue. Its abundant amino acids help maintain normal neural activity, improve sleep quality, and relax brain nerves.

Plant Source—Walnut
Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a deciduous tree in the walnut family. It has a relatively short trunk and broad canopy; young branches are gray-green and hairless; leaflets are elliptical to long-elliptical; fruit clusters are short; fruits are nearly spherical and hairless; the shell is slightly wrinkled with a short tip; the septum is thin with no internal cavities; the inner seed coat has irregular gaps. Flowering occurs in May and fruiting in October. The name "walnut" is explained by Li Shizhen in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" as "this fruit has a green skin, and its shape resembles a peach, so it is called walnut, as 'Hu' is a term for the seed."
Walnuts are native to the region from the Balkans to southwestern China, and are distributed across northern, northwestern, and southern China, typically growing on slopes and hilly areas at altitudes of 400-1800 meters. They are commonly cultivated in China's plains and hilly regions, preferring fertile, moist sandy loam, and are often found in deep soil alongside mountain river valleys.
