Objective The study proposed an efficient and economic approach to hydrolyze whey protein isolate. Methods Using trypsin to hydrolyze the whey protein, this study investigated the influences of pH, hydrolysis temperature, enzyme-substrate ratio (E/S) and hydrolysis duration on the process of enzymatic hydrolysis. The orthogonal test method was used to design the experiments of the study. Result The optimized conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis were pH8, hydrolysis temperature 40°C,5% of E/S, and hydrolysis duration 2 hours. The hydrolysis degree was 26.5%. Conclusion The parameters identified from this study can benefit the development of whey protein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
