Electrofiltration (EF) was used to selectively separate cationic (basic) peptides contained in a tryptic beta-lactoglobulin (beta-LG) hydrolysate, with particular emphasis on the isolation of basic sequence beta-LG 142-148, which is a potential antihypertensive peptide. Both the influence of feed solution pH and operating parameters (transmembrane pressure, feed velocity) were assessed to find optimum conditions enabling the fractionation between peptides during EF. The cathode (-) was inserted in the permeate side to increase the separation of basic peptides contained in the tryptic beta-LG hydrolysate as compared to conventional NF. The highest separation factor between basic and neutral peptides was obtained at pH 9 using G-10 membrane with a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 2,500 g/mol, at 5 V with the lowest transmembrane pressure (0.344 MPa) and feed velocity (0.047 m/s). The transmission behavior of the peptides during EF was better explained when taking into account the positive/negative charge ratio. Because of its 3+/1- charge ratio, beta-LG 142-148 had the highest transmission during EF. Consequently, its relative concentration was raised from 3.5% in the initial tryptic beta-LG hydrolysate up to 38% in the permeate. The electric field seemed more effective when the convective/shearing forces were minimized.

β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) is the major allergen in dairy products, but research on the optimal conditions for antigen reduction in β-LG using different enzymes remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the antigenicity, structural characteristics, and peptide distribution of advantageous protease hydrolysates capable of eliminating the allergenic epitopes of β-LG selected via bioinformatics tools. The results showed that under optimal enzymatic hydrolysis conditions, the antigen reduction rates for the four advantageous proteases acting on β-LG were 47.

Article Synopsis
- Phytosterol (PS) bioavailability can be improved through interactions with proteins, specifically in the C-24 hydroxyl group.
- Enzymatic hydrolysis of whey protein isolates (WPH) increases β-Lg production, enhancing protein structure for better interaction with PS.
- The study found strong correlations between hydrogen bonds and both encapsulation efficiency and bioaccessibility, suggesting that enhancing these properties significantly boosts PS absorption in food applications.

Whey protein (WP) has nutritional value, but the presence of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and α-lactalbumin (α-LA) cause allergic reactions. In this study, hypoallergenic whey protein hydrolyate (HWPH) was prepared by decomposing β-LG and α-LA of WP using exo- and endo-type proteases. The enzyme mixing ratio and reaction conditions were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM).

The inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) and the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) could normalize blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. This study evaluated the susceptibility of whey proteins to enzyme hydrolysis and the antidiabetic properties of protein hydrolysates from β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and α-lactalbumin (α-LA) solutions compared with whey protein isolate (WPI) solution treated at different heating temperatures (65, 75, and 85 °C). α-LA hydrolysate provided the lowest degree of hydrolysis (DH).

Two commercially available food grade fungal protease preparations (Fungal Protease 31,000 and Fungal Protease 60000) were found to hydrolyse bovine acid whey proteins but left the beta-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) intact under the processing conditions used. Comparative analysis before and after hydrolysis of bovine acid whey, by 1D- and 2D-PAGE, RP-HPLC and intact-mass mass spectrometry showed that the β-Lg remains intact and in high yield after hydrolysis by the fungal proteases. The β-Lg could be separated from the whey protein peptide hydrolysate by ultrafiltration.
