PROTEOLYTIC COMPOSITIONS FOR RAPIDLY AND EXTENSIVELY DEGRADING PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS

摘要

Disclosed are proteolytic compositions and methods for rapidly and effectively hydrolyzing proteins found in protein supplements used for sports nutrition and meal replacement to very small molecular weight fragments under normal physiological conditions of the stomach and small intestine. Therefore, unlike alternative protease compositions, the disclosed proteolytic compositions may be consumed with the protein (e.g., protein supplement), thereby eliminating the problem of bitterness occurring with protein pre-digestion.
