LACTASE ENZYMES WITH IMPROVED PROPERTIES

The present invention relates to new improved peptides and dimeric peptides exhibiting beta-galactosidase enzyme activity as well as methods using them for reducing the lactose content of milk-based compositions.

Lactase enzymes with improved properties

The present invention relates to new improved peptide or dimeric peptides exhibiting beta-galactosidase enzyme activity as well as improved methods for reducing the lactose content in compositions in particular at low temperatures.

Lactase enzymes with improved activity at low temperatures

Disclosed are peptides exhibiting betagalactosidase enzyme activity as well as dairy products comprising them and related methods for reducing the lactose content in compositions, such as dairy products.

Acidified milk product, which has a pH of between 3.0 and 5.0 and a content of lactose of at least 1.5 mg/ml, wherein the product contains a lactase, which retains its activity at a pH of 5.0 and a temperature of 37&#xb0; C. at a level of at least 5% as compared to its activity at the optimum pH of the lactase.

Fermented milk product with a reduced content of lactose

Disclosed are peptides and dimeric peptides exhibiting beta-galactosidase enzyme activity, as well as methods for producing a dairy product using them, and dairy products made by such methods. In some embodiments, the peptides exhibit beta-galactosidase enzyme activity at low and/or high temperatures.
