Abstract
The invention relates to the use of a microdevice for the modification of protein with carbohydrate. Preferably for the glycation of protein with a mono-, di-, oligo- or polysaccharide(s). The invention also relates to the process for modifying protein with carbohydrate in a microdevice. The invention also relates to a process for preparing a food, feed, personal care, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, paper or corrugated board product comprising the process steps to prepare the modified protein and the step of combining the modified protein with at least one other ingredient.
Claims21
A process for preparing modified protein comprising the following steps:
- a) Mixing a composition of protein(s) (A) and a composition of carbohydrate(s) (B) to form a composition (C) in an aqueous medium;
- b) Optionally adjusting the pH of the composition (C), preferably to a pH of from 6.0 to 9.0, more preferably from 6.5 to 9.0, even more preferably from 7.0 to 8.5, most preferably from 7.0 to 8.0;
- c) Adding the composition (C) into a microdevice;
- d) Reacting the protein(s) with the carbohydrate(s) in the microdevice to obtain a composition comprising modified protein(s) (D).
A wheat protein(s) glycated with mono-, di-, oligo- or polysaccharide(s).
