Purification and activity evaluation of novel anti-inflammatory peptides from pearl oyster () hydrolysates.

Pearl oyster meat, a by-product of pearl production, is rich in protein, but has a low utilization rate. Our previous study showed that pearl oyster meat hydrolysates have potential anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, highly active peptides from pearl oyster meat hydrolysates were purified, identified, and extracted, and their anti-inflammatory activity was further investigated.
