Abstract：In this paper, porcine hemoglobin-derived peptides are described with regard to their nutrient composition, processing technologies, structures, functions, and application fields and prospects. Porcine hemoglobin-derived peptides, a group of small bioacfive peptides derived from porcine globin, have smaller molecular weight, high bioavailability and added value, a good amino acid balance and nutrition-enhancing effects and can be directly absorbed without digestion. Porcine hemoglobin-derived pep- tides can also promote the early development of the gastrointestinal tract and amino acid absorption, regulate gastrointestinal motility and have immunoenhancing, blood pressure lowering and blood lipid lowering and antioxidant effects, thus being suitable for use in the food, feed, daily chemical and medicinal fields.
