BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Proteins in milk are roughly classified into casein and whey protein, and the casein is mainly αs-.
It is composed of casein, β-casein, and κ-casein. The whey protein is mainly composed of α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin. Among the components of these proteins, αs-casein and β-lactoglobulin are proteins that are rarely present in human milk, and a nutritional composition for childcare using milk protein as a protein source may be an allergen for artificial nutrition. is there. For this reason, studies have been made so far to reduce the above αs-casein and β-lactoglobulin from milk proteins as much as possible by means such as fractionation or decomposition.

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to solve this problem, the present inventors have found that a crude proteolytic enzyme produced by a Mucor bacterium has a protease having an optimum activity around pH 6. And a protease having an optimal activity around pH 3 coexist, and the protease having an optimal activity around pH 3 selectively decomposes αs-casein in milk protein but has an optimal activity around pH 6.

Therefore, by newly purifying a crude proteolytic enzyme produced by a bacterium belonging to the genus Mucor, a protease having an optimal activity in the vicinity of pH 6 contained in the crude enzyme is removed as much as possible to reach a pH of around 3. After obtaining a protease fraction having an appropriate activity, αs-casein is selectively decomposed by adding a protease having an optimal activity in the vicinity of pH 3 to a milk protein solution,
It was possible to obtain a hypoallergenic milk protein with reduced αs-casein, and completed the present invention. That is, the present invention causes a milk protein solution to act on a milk protein solution with a protease produced by a bacterium belonging to the genus Mucor and having an optimal activity around pH 3 (hereinafter referred to as "a protease having an optimal activity around pH 3" of the present invention).

As is clear from FIG. 3, the protease having the optimum activity in the vicinity of pH 3 of the present invention is α in milk protein.
It can be seen that s-casein is decomposed well, but β-casein is hardly decomposed. On the other hand, as is clear from FIGS. 4 and 5, both the active fractions 2 and 3 of the DEAE-Toyopearl chromatograph mainly containing the protease having the optimum activity around pH 6 are αs-
It can be seen that casein has a weak decomposition power and that αs-casein and β-casein are decomposed to the same extent. Therefore, the protease having the optimum activity in the vicinity of pH 3 of the present invention obtained by removing the protease having the optimum activity in the vicinity of pH 6 as much as possible from the crude proteolytic enzyme produced by Mucor spp. It can be seen that it can be efficiently used for the purpose of the present invention for selectively degrading αs-casein in proteins.

As is apparent from FIGS. 6 and 7, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
When a crude proteolytic enzyme prepared according to the description of 6-261691 is used, a large amount of protease having an optimum activity is present around pH 6, and the protease has a pH of 6.5 or 7.0. Even under the reaction conditions of αs-
It is understood that not only casein but also β-casein is degraded. However, as is clear from FIGS. 8 and 9, when the protease of the present invention having an optimum activity in the vicinity of pH 3 is used, it is effective under both reaction conditions of pH 6.5 and pH 7.0. Degradation of αs-casein progresses over time, but degradation of β-casein progresses slowly. Then, when the difference between β-casein and αs-casein remaining in the reaction product after the reaction for a certain period of time is taken, it is found that a constant value of about 40 to 50% continues to be exhibited. That is, from the results of comparing FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, FIG. 9, by using the protease having the optimum activity in the vicinity of pH 3 of the present invention, the βs-casein in the milk protein is left and αs- It can be seen that casein can be selectively degraded.
