Abstract: The complex of flavourzyme and neutral protease was used to hydrolyze protein from camellia pollen to obtain bioactive peptides. This paper deeply studied in vitro antioxidation of bioactive peptides from camellia pollen. The experimental results indicated that peptides of camellia pollen have good antioxidative abilities, such as scavenging DPPH· free radical, reducing, inhibiting superoxide anion, scavenging hydroxyl free radical, and general capacity of anti-oxidation, and all those capacities were enhanced with the improvement of hydrolysis degrees.

Key words: camellia pollen, complex-enzyme, peptides, antioxidation
