Whey protein isolate (93.84% protein) was hydrolysed using bovine trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) at an enzyme-to-substrate ratio of 1.0% (w w(-1)) over a range of temperatures and pH. Residual protein was quantified using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Genetic variants A and B of beta-lactoglobulin (beta-Lg) and alpha-lactalbumin (alpha-La) showed higher resistance to trypsin hydrolysis at 25 degrees C than at 50 degrees C with higher susceptibility of beta-LgA than of beta-LgB. Under the conditions trialled, the highest (67.87%) residual pure alpha-La was at 25 degrees C and pH 8.5 (2 h hydrolysis; degree of hydrolysis 7.11%), while the lowest (7.99%) was at 50 degrees C, pH 8.5 (5 min). Above pH 7.5 and 40 degrees C, beta-Lg dimer-monomer transition occurred resulting in improved trypsin hydrolysis. Trypsin hydrolysis outside the optimum pH and temperature offers potential for selective removal of beta-LgAnd production of pure and native alpha-La. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
