Title:
Seletive hydrolysis of α-lactalbumin by acid protease A offers potential for β-latoglobulin purification in whey proteins
Abstract:
Whey protein (WP) purification exploits selective heat and salt stabilities. Proteins are denatured. WP α-lactalbumin (α-La) and β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) are resistant to trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) and pepsin (EC 3.4.23.1), respectively. This work was to selectively hydrolyse α-La in WP isolate (WPI) using Acid Protease A in acid pH in order to selectively remove α-La while retaining high amounts of native β-Lg. WPI was hydrolysed over a range of temperature (30 °C, 37.5 °C and 45 °C) and pH (2.5, 3.0...     »
