The present invention describes a process for modifying a sweet protein or a taste modifying protein, comprising incubating a sweet protein solution or a taste modifying protein solution with a peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD).

Use of peptidylarginine deiminase to obtain improved sweet protein

The present invention relates to a process for preparing gelatin comprising a step of incubating a material comprising collagen with an enzyme composition comprising an acid protease which has at least 70% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, and preparing the gelatin. The invention also relates to gelatin obtained by a process as disclosed herein.

Process for the preparation of gelatin

The invention relates to a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2 or an amino acid sequence encoded by the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, or a variant polypeptide or variant polynucleotide thereof, wherein the variant polypeptide has at least 73% sequence identity with the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2 or the variant polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide that has at least 73% sequence identity with the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2. The invention features the full length coding sequence of the novel gene as well as the amino acid sequence of the full-length functional polypeptide and functional equivalents of the gene or the amino acid sequence. The invention also relates to methods for using the polypeptide in industrial processes. Also included in the invention are cells transformed with a polynucleotide according to the invention suitable for producing these proteins.
