Abstract:

Peanuts are rich in nutrients and an excellent source of proteins. At present various forms of peanut proteins are utilized for their functional effects rather than their nutritional properties. This article summarizes recent advances in preparation and nutritional and functional effects of peanut protein products as a food ingredient, briefly analyzes factors affecting their functional properties and introduces their edible uses, which will provide useful references for further studying functional properties of peanut proteins and extending their applications.

Key words: peanut, protein, functional properties
