Claims17
1-15. (canceled)
A method for producing an acidified milk drink, said method comprising:
- a) acidifying a milk substrate comprising milk protein;
- and
- b) treating with an enzyme having a protein modifying activity which reduces the isoelectric point of the milk protein;
- wherein step b) is performed before, during or after step a).
1 more element
An isolated polypeptide having deamidase activity, selected from the group consisting of:
- a) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence which is at least 91% identical to (i) SEQ ID NO:
- 2, or (ii) amino acids 133-318 thereof;
- b) a polypeptide which is encoded by a polynucleotide which is at least 90% identical to (i) SEQ ID NO:1, or (ii) nucleotides 397-954 thereof;
- and
- c) a polypeptide which is encoded by a polynucleotide whose complement hybridizes under high stringency conditions with nucleotides 397-954 of SEQ ID NO:
- 1.
