PURPOSE: An ovotransferrin hydrolysate and a composition containing the same for anticancer are provided to remove peroxyl radical and to inhibit leukocyte DNA damage.CONSTITUTION: A method for preparing an ovotransferrin hyrolysate comprises: a step of mixing egg white ovotransferrin with enzyme in a weight ratio of 25:1 and adjusting by pH 2.5-7.0 a step of reaction of the mixture at 45 Deg. C. for 3 hours and heating at 100 Deg. C. for 10 minutes and a step of centrifuging the mixture at 3,000 rpm for 20 minutes and freeze-drying the supernatant. The enzyme is pepsin, protamax, alcalase, trypsin, neutrase, flavorzyme, collupulin, protex, A-chymotrypsin, promod, or collupulin. An anticancer composition contains the ovotransferrin hydrolysate as an active ingredient.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013본 발명은 계란 난백 ovotransferrin의 가수분해물 및 그 항산화 기능성 용도를 개시한다.
