A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A WHEY PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE BY SUBJECTING A COMPOSITION OF A WHEY PROTEIN TO A ENDOPEPTIDASE

摘要

Disclosed is a method for producing a whey protein hydrolysate comprising: a) providing an aqueous composition of whey protein comprising betalactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin; b) subjecting said composition to the action of a microbial endopeptidase which specifically cleaves on the carboxy terminal side of arginine or lysine; and c) inactivating the endopeptidase. Also disclosed is the use of the said whey protein hydrolysate in sports drinks or in clinical nutrition.
