Abstract
A method for making a milk product (e.g. a yogurt) comprising adding an effective amount of an N-linked glycosidase and/or an O-linked glycosidase to milk.
Claims8
A method for producing a fermented milk yogurt product comprising:
- (a) treating a milk substrate with an enzyme having O-linked glycosidase activity, and
- (b) fermenting the milk substrate with lactic acid bacteria,
- wherein the fermented milk yogurt product that has increased gel firmness relative to a fermented milk yogurt product produced with a comparable method but without the enzyme having O-linked glycosidase activity,
- wherein treating the milk substrate with the enzyme having O-linked glycosidase activity does not increase syneresis in the fermented milk product relative to a fermented milk yogurt product produced with a comparable method but without the enzyme having O-linked glycosidase activity, and
- wherein the enzyme having O-linked glycosidase activity is selected from α-N-acetyl-galactosaminidase (EC number:
- 3.2.1.49);
- α-galactosidase (EC number:
- 3.2.1.22);
- neuraminidase (EC number:
- 3.2.1.18);
- and combinations thereof.
