Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a composition including free amino acids, oligopeptides and polypeptides, characterized in that the process comprises at least the following step: adding at least two different peptidases, which are present in purified form, to a composition comprising at least one protein.
Claims23
A process for producing a composition comprising free amino acids, oligopeptides, and polypeptides, comprising:
- adding at least one purified microbial exopeptidase and at least one purified microbial endopeptidase to a composition comprising at least one protein;
- and
- incubating the at least one exopeptidase, the at least one endopeptidase and the composition at a temperature of 40° C.-60° C.;
- wherein:
- prior to adding the at least one purified microbial exopeptidase and at least one purified microbial endopeptidase, the concentration of the at least one protein in the composition is 5-30 wt % based on the total weight of the composition;
- prior to adding the at least one purified microbial exopeptidase and at least one purified microbial endopeptidase, the pH of the composition is 4-6;
- and
- the amount of the at least one purified microbial exopeptidase and at least one purified microbial endopeptidase added to the composition is 2-10 grams of each peptidase per 100 grams of the at least one protein.
