Fremgangsmåde til fremstilling af et næringsmiddel baseret på proteinhydrolysat

摘要

A liquid protein hydrolysate-based food is made by partial enzymatic hydrolysis of a protein-containing starting material, packaging under sterile conditions and completing the hydrolysis in the packaging container. A process for producing a food product based on a protein hydrolysate in liquid form comprises: (a) adjusting the pH of a liquid non-hydrolyzed or partially hydrolyzed protein-containing starting material to a value of 6 - 9 by addition of a base before or after sterilization, in the latter case by addition of a sterilized base; (b) adding, under aseptic conditions, a proteolytic enzyme in an amount sufficient to provide the required degree of hydrolysis of the protein in the starting material; (c) packaging the hot material under aseptic conditions and hermetically sealing the packaging containers; and (d) allowing the packaged mixture to complete the hydrolysis within the packaging container.
