Abstract
Emulsifying agents are prepared by sequentially treating a biological material with a protease and with a lipase. The enzymatically treated biological material may be pasteurized during or following the enzymatic treatment.
Claims23
A process for preparing an emulsifying agent consisting essentially of sequentially treating egg yolk with a protease at a pH from 4 to 8.5 and at a temperature from 0.degree. C. to 65.degree. C. and then treating the protease-treated egg yolk with a pancreatic lipase at a pH from 4 to 8.5 and at a temperature from 0.degree. C. to 60.degree. C.
