摘要:
Methods of making protein hydrolysates are described. The methods may include the steps of providing a solution comprising protein, and adjusting a pH of the solution to about 10.4 or more to form a basic protein solution. Additional steps may include adding a protease enzyme to the basic protein solution that converts at least a portion of the protein to protein hydrolysates. Protein hydrolysate compositions and water-soluble food additives are also described. The additives may include a mixture of protein hydrolysates formed by protein hydrolysis of a protein substrate. The protein hydrolysates may have an average molecular weight of about 2000 to about 10,000 Daltons.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for preparing a concentrate of denatured whey protein aggregate preferably having a mean aggregate size (median) of between 1 and 4 &mgr;m. Said method consists of the following steps: a) an aqueous solution enriched to a maximum protein content of 4% by weight, containing whey protein and having a pH of between 5.0 and 7.0 is thermally denatured to [≦80%] ≦90%, in relation to the protein content, under substantially non-shear conditions at a temperature of between 75 and 150° C. and by means of a holding period; and b) the resulting product is concentrated, preferably to a denatured whey protein concentration of between 5 and 20%.
摘要:
A method for producing a peptide mixture from a starting protein by (1) adding at least one protease to an aqueous solution of at least one starting protein to hydrolyse the starting protein, (2) measuring the amount of a free amino acid selected from the group consisting of lysine, phenylalanine, leucine and arginine produced during the hydrolysis of the starting protein, (3) calculating the amount of the free amino acid with respect to the total amount of amino acid contained in the starting protein, and (4) terminating the hydrolysis when the calculated amount of the free amino acid with respect to the total amount of the amino acid contained in the starting protein falls within a predetermined range. The inventive method provides a starting protein hydrolysate of uniform and consistent quality.
摘要:
A process for producing an .alpha.-lactalbumin-enriched fraction from whey is disclosed. The process involves heating pH-adjusted whey to a temperature sufficient to cause aggregation of .beta.-lactoglobulin molecules, and fractioning the whey using ultrafiltration or microfiltration, the .alpha.-lactalbumin-enriched fraction obtained by the process is useful for making breast milk substitutes and other nutritional compositions.
摘要:
The present invention provides delipidating compositions containing essentially oil-free "empty" cyclodextrin compositions. It also provides compositions for use in removal of cerumen from the ear. The compositions containing "empty" cyclodextrin advantageously avoid use of harsh, drying agents or injurious mechanical methods.
摘要:
The present invention is concerned with a whey protein composition comprising a suitable concentration of whey protein concentrate wherein the whey protein concentrate contains proteins which are present in an essentially undenatured state and wherein the biological activity of the whey protein concentrate is dependent on the overall amino acid and small peptides pattern resulting from the contribution of all its protein components and a method of producing said whey protein composition. The invention also relates to several applications of said composition.
摘要:
An edible plastic composition contains at least 5 wt. % of heat-denatured protein, the heat-denatured protein mainly being a dispersion in the form of non-aggregated protein-based macrocolloidal particles having a size in the range of from 0.1 to 10 microns. It is suitable as a low calorie fat replacer in food products and for topical applications and is prepared by successive heating and concentrating steps in which an aqueous composition comprising less than 15% by weight of the water, of heat-denaturable protein is at least partly denatured and the protein concentration of the aqueous composition is at least doubled and at least part of any soluble protein is removed.The present process for instance offers the advantage of not requiring complicated apparatus, and moreover is easy to control.
摘要:
Whey derived from ordinary milk includes a bottom fraction including lactose and minerals, a middle fraction including lower molecular weight proteins, and a top fraction including higher molecular weight proteins. The top whey fraction includes a measurable but low level concentration of immunologically active immunoglobulin plus other pathogen specific antibodies. The whey is ultrafiltered through one or more different process steps to yield a filtered product having a concentration of immunologically active immunoglobulin of at least about seven percent of total solids. The filtered product is periodically tested to verify its activity to a specified microbe. The filtered product is orally administered in a therapeutically effective dose to an animal to treat a disease.
摘要:
A method for the selective extraction of beta-lactoglobulin and other proteins from whey or milk by means of subunit exchange chromatography and for the deproteinization of whey by subsequent chromatography on an ion exchange resin.
摘要:
This invention relates to a peritoneal dialysis solution which comprises as an osmotically active agent an osmotically effective amount of a mixture of peptides, the mixture consisting substantially of peptides having a molecular weight of about 300 to about 2000 daltons, and an equivalent weight between about 150 to about 1500.
