Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of obtaining protein hydrolysates useful as flavoring agents. More specifically, the invention provides a method of obtaining from a proteinaceous sustrate a hydrolysate enriched in free glutamic acid and/or peptide bound glutamic acid residues, which method comprises the steps of subjecting the substrate to a deamidation process, and subjecting the substrate to the action of a specific acting proteolytic enzyme.
Claims39
A method of producing a deaminated hydrolysate from a proteinaceous substrate, comprising the steps of:
- (i) subjecting the substrate to a deamidation process;
- (ii) subjecting the substrate to the action of a specific acting proteolytic enzyme;
- and
- (iii) subjecting the substrate to the action of one or more unspecific acting endo- and/or exo-peptidase enzymes.
