Product Introduction
- Bitter melon peptide, also known as Balsampear Polypeptide, is a bioactive substance extracted from bitter melon. It is derived from the fresh seeds and sprouts of specific bitter melon varieties and is composed of 17 types of amino acids totaling 166 amino acids.
Main Components:
- Natural Bitter Melon Peptides: Contains natural oligopeptides that can enhance immune function.
- Bitter Melon Protein Hydrolysis and Synthetic Oligopeptides: Includes peptides synthesized from wild bitter melon powder and high-quality plant proteins using scientific formulas and compound aromatic plant proteases, yielding oligopeptides with molecular weights ranging from 500 to 175, made up of 2 to 6 amino acids.
- Amino Acids: Bitter melon contains 17 amino acids, including 7 essential amino acids.
- Bitter Melon Glycosides and Bitter Compounds: Contains glycosides and bitter compounds that stimulate appetite and improve digestion.
- Alkaloids (Quinine): Includes quinine, which has diuretic, blood-activating, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and vision-enhancing effects.
- Vitamin C: Contains Vitamin C, which helps prevent colds, scurvy, and has antioxidant properties, boosting immunity.
- Protease Inhibitors.
Production Process of Bitter Melon Peptides
- Bitter melon peptides are produced using wheat gluten as the raw material. The process involves blending, enzymatic hydrolysis with proteases, separation, filtration, and spray drying to achieve high-quality peptides.

Plant Source—Bitter Melon
- Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is an annual climbing herb from the gourd family. It features soft hairs on its stems and branches, with thin tendrils. The leaf stalks are long and greenish on the underside, with palmate venation. The plant bears both male and female flowers on the same plant, with spindle-shaped or cylindrical fruits that are warted and turn orange-yellow when ripe. Seeds are elongated with grooves on both sides. Bitter melon is native to Indonesia and was introduced to China during the Song and Yuan dynasties. It is now grown
across various regions of China. Bitter melon thrives in warm, moist conditions and is sensitive to cold and waterlogging. It prefers well-drained soil and ample sunlight, with the optimal growth temperature between 20°C and 30°C. It is typically propagated from seeds.
Culinary and Cultural Use: Bitter melon has a distinct bitter taste but is valued for its health benefits. It is used in various dishes and remedies. The juice from bitter melon has notable blood sugar-lowering effects and benefits for the digestive system. Despite its bitterness, it is considered a beneficial vegetable in traditional Chinese medicine, aligning with the saying "good medicine is often bitter." Bitter melon can be paired with other vegetables without transferring its bitterness and is sometimes grown for ornamental purposes as well, with urban gardeners often cultivating it for both aesthetic and culinary uses.
