PURPOSE:To obtain the titled hydrolyzed product suitable as a raw material for food or drink, by hydrolyzing a milk protein (-containing material) in an alkaline solution with pancreatin and a microbial protease derived from a strain belonging to Bacillus genus and separating insoluble components from the hydrolyzed product. CONSTITUTION:A milk protein such as casein, lactoalbumin, etc., or a milk protein-containing material composed mainly of milk protein (e.g. whole milk, defatted milk, etc.) is dissolved in water and the pH of the solution is controlled to an alkaline region. The solution is made to simultaneously or successively react with pancreatin and a microbial protease (e.g. Bioplase: commercial name) originated from a microorganism belonging to Bacillus genus (e.g. Bacillus subtilis) to effect enzymatic hydrolysis of the protein. Insoluble components are separated and removed from the resultant enzymatic decomposition mixture to obtain an easily soluble hydriolyzed milk protein free from unagreeable taste. The hydrolyzed product is suitable as an transintestinal nutrient, nutrition drink, etc. |
