Abstract: An oligopeptide with anti-inflammatory activity, a preparation method, and an application thereof are provided, belonging to the field of biotechnology. An amino acid sequence of the oligopeptide is shown as SEQ ID NO:1. The preparation method includes: digesting a wheat germ protein through a simulated gastrointestinal tract to obtain protein digestion products; separating the protein digestion products by ultrafiltration membranes to obtain components I (>3 kDa), II (1˜3 kDa), and III (<1 kDa), screening the components to obtain III as an anti-inflammatory active component, and finally identifying the oligopeptide by LC-MS/MS polypeptide. The oligopeptide has strong anti-inflammatory activity, is derived from the wheat germ protein, has the characteristics of safety, high efficiency, simple preparation method, good repeatability, has broad prospects in food, medicine, and other fields, and can be applied to preparations of medicines or functional foods for preventing and treating enteritis.
