Definitions
- This invention relates to the use of lactase derived from microorganisms for purposes of hydrolysis of lactose in dairy related products and in particular in milk.
- Lactose in dairy products presents both a processing problem in concentrating milk and the manufacture of cheese as well as a health problem for people with lactose intolerance.
- Considerable work has therefore been done on the conversion of lactose in dairy products to a combination of simple sugars, which are more readily processed and are also more readily digested by lactose intolerant people.
- the lactase enzyme which hydrolyses lactose, is commercially available and is normally manufactured by the culturing of lactase producing microorganisms, such as bacteria, yeast or moulds.
- United States Patent 4,007,283 suggests the radical rupture of cell membranes to remove lactase from the cultured microorganisms. After cell rupture, usually by mechanical techniques, the enzyme is then purified as extracted from the culture and used in normal way.
- United States Patent 4,234,687 discloses the splitting opening of cells to release lactase from the bacterial cells. The debris of cell wall and the like in the culture is separated from the lactose, the lactase is then introduced to milk to hydrolyse the lactose.
- United States Patent 4,332,895 disclosed the use of immobilized whole cells for the hydrolysis of lactose.
- the whole cells are immobilized in a gel, lactase is released from the whole cells to hydrolyse lactose in whey and milk.
- lactase producing bacteria may be treated by sonication techniques to release lactase into the bacterial culture material. Such sonicated culture material may then be introduced directly into milk, whey or other dairy products to hydrolyse lactose.
- the bacterial cells may be introduced to the dairy product and sonicated in situ to release lactase into the dairy product for hydrolysis of lactose. We have found that such techniques effectively hydrolyse the lactose in the dairy products without affecting colour, smell, or taste of the dairy product.
- a composition useful for enzymatically hydrolysing lactase in dairy products comprises a sonicated culture medium containing microbial cells which produce lactase within the cells during culture wherein: the cells are non-toxic to humans and compatible with dairy products; sonication of the cells ruptures the cells to release thereby said lactase into the culture, and the culture media containing ruptured cell wall material, any remaining whole cell material after sonication and contents of said ruptured cells.
- a process for enzymatically hydrolysing lactose in dairy products comprises the use of the above composition.
- the culture medium, as treated, is introduced into the dairy product and incubated for a sufficient period of time to hydrolyse lactose to an acceptable degree.
- a process for enzymatically hydrolysing lactose in dairy products comprises adding the culture of bacterial cells to the dairy product and sonicating the dairy product to release in situ the bacterial cell content. The system is then incubated at a temperature in the range of 55°C to hydrolyse lactose in the dairy product.
- the above composition can be prepared by culturing the bacterial cells in a suitable culture medium to produce lactose within the cells and continuing culture of the cells until lactose concentration is at a maximum for harvest.
- the culture medium is then sonicated to rupture a majority of the cells to release thereby the lactase into the culture medium.
- the bacterial cells employed in the process are of a species which, when treated by sonication to release cell contents into the culture medium and the medium is introduced to the dairy product, and the system incubated at a temperature in the range of 50° to 60°C, the lactase as released from the cells retains its lactose hydrolysing activity while other enzymes and proteins released from the contents of the bacterial cells do not affect dairy product quality due to neutralization or inactivation at the higher incubation temperatures.
- Figure 1 is a graph showing relationship of enzyme activity versus pH of culture during sonication of cells in culture.
- Figure 2 is a graph showing relationship of enzyme activity versus temperature of culture during sonication of cells in culture.
- Applicant's discovery leads to a more economical process for accomplishing lactose hydrolysis in dairy systems, products and the like.
- the process has been developed in a manner so as to have no regulatory or legal limitation because of its use of dairy microorganisms with a long history of industrial use and hence, safe for consumption.
- lactose hydrolysed milk is used in the manufacture of fermented dairy products, such as, cottage cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, and the like.
- fermented dairy products such as, cottage cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, and the like.
- lactase enzyme may be immobilized on a resin where the dairy products are passed through the resins to achieve chemical hydrolysis of lactose in the dairy product. It is preferable to carry out such reactions at high temperature and low pH which is not practical for treatment of foods due to major side effects.
- ordinary dairy type microbial cultures may be grown to produce lactase.
- lactase there are a variety of techniques for optimizing the culture of such microorganisms.
- the culture is subjected to a sonication treatment to rupture the cells and thereby release into the culture medium, the bacteria or yeast cell contents which includes lactase.
- the sonication treatment ensures that, for example, the bacterial culture material contains low levels or undetectable levels of viable bacterial cells, but surprisingly retains high enzymatic activity for breaking down the lactose in milk and other dairy products.
- the sonicated culture can be added directly to milk, whey or other dairy products to hydrolyse lactose without any side effects.
- the lactase By use of proven food grade microorganisms to produce the lactase, it may be safely added to the dairy products in view of their long history of safe application in industry, without any of the need for further regulatory approval.
- milk treated with the sonicated culture can be marketed as a lactose reduced product, without the need for any further treatment to remove the sonicated bacterial culture.
- microorganisms selected for use in accordance with this invention are those with high levels of intracellular lactase enzyme.
- B ⁇ fidobacterium Propionibacterium Pediococcu ⁇ and such other genera possessing the ability to ferment lactose It is appreciated that this list contains hundreds of individual species and strains, most of which are used by the dairy industry.
- Yeasts there are several types of yeasts that also ferment lactose including the following genera: Candida (e.g. Candida kefir)
- Kluyveromyces e.g. K. marxianus
- the sonicated culture may be preserved in variety of manners in accordance with techniques routinely employed by those skilled in the art.
- Selected organisms are grown in a suitable culture medium until optimum enzyme production is achieved. Optimum, pH and temperature conditions may be employed in the production of the crude enzyme.
- the cultures are subjected to sonication at a suitable frequency, for example, in the range of 16 KHz. The period of sonication is selected to ensure that most, if not all cells are ruptured to release the lactase enzyme.
- the treated culture is then added to the dairy product for purposes of hydrolysing the lactose.
- the microorganisms may be added to the dairy product and then sonicated to release in situ enzyme into the dairy product for purposes of lactose hydrolysis.
- microorganisms of the above list may be selected which produce lactase and which, when the lactase is released from the microorganisms and used to hydrolyse lactose in milk, can withstand higher incubation temperatures, preferably in the range of 50° to 60°C. At these higher incubation temperatures, it has been found that the lactase retains its hydrolysing activity while other proteins and enzymes, as contents of the ruptured cells and which normally have an impact on milk quality by either reducing its pH and/or adding to its bitterness and other unsuitable characteristics, are neutralized and/or denatured.
- a particularly useful species in this regard is L. delbrueckii subs p.
- the bacteria may be cultured at a suitable temperature and pH to optimize production of the lactase.
- the lactase may then be harvested by sonicating the bacteria to rupture a majority of the bacteria and thereby release lactase into the culture media. It has been found that incubation of the dairy product with the released lactose in the culture medium of this bacteria actively hydrolyses lactose to levels in the range of 75% without appreciably affecting the quality of the dairy product. This is presumed to be due to inactivation at these higher temperatures of other enzymes and proteins released into the medium during rupture of the cells.
- Example 1 Propagation of cultures Pure cultures of S. thermophilus and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus were isolated from a commercial yogurt sample. The isolated cultures were examined for purity by conventional methods (Hardie et al, 1986. In “Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology," The Williams and Wilkins Co . , Baltimore, MD. ) . Freeze-dried culture of L. acidophilu ⁇ was obtained from Dept. of Microbiology, North Carolina State University.
- NDM non-fat dry milk
- the organisms grown in the APT broth were routinely propagated and transferred successively three times, then the active cultures were transferred to Lactobacilli MRS broth (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Michigan) or Difco APT broth containing either 0.01 g/mL glucose (GAPT) or 0.01 g/mL lactose (LAPT) .
- the cultures were grown for 18 hr.
- cultures were immediately chilled and centrifuged at 16300 x g for 10 min at 1°C in a Sorvall Model RC-5B (Du Pont Co., Diagnostic and Bioresearch Systems, Wilmington, DE) superspeed centrifuge.
- the harvested cells were washed by dissolving in lOOmL distilled water, recentrifuge, and suspended in 20 mL distilled water for sonication in two portions. One portion was used in the -gal assay which represented the total enzyme activity. The other portions were centrifuged at 13100 x g for 10 min to remove the cell debris. The supernatant liquid was also assay for 0-gal to estimate the free enzyme which was not bound to the cell wall. The difference between the two assays represented the enzyme bound to the cell wall. The cell debris were dried at 105°C for 2.5 hr to obtain the dry weight of cell suspensions.
- Example 5 Properties of ⁇ -galactosidase
- the enzyme isolated from acetone precipitation was diluted 1500 times in distilled water for L. delbrueckii ⁇ ub ⁇ p. bulgaricu ⁇ and S. thermophilu ⁇ lactases, and 250 times for L. acidophilu ⁇ lactase.
- the optimum pH of the enzyme was determined by measuring enzyme activity in phosphate buffer at 37°C over a pH range of 4.5-7.5 (8.5 in case of S .thermophilu ⁇ lactase) .
- the optimums for pH, as shown in Figure 1 are in the range of 6 to 7. Different proportions of 0.2M mono- and disodium phosphate buffer were used to obtain the desired pH.
- the optimum temperature for enzyme activity was then determined by measuring enzyme activity at the optimum pH over a temperature range of 35-65°C.
- the optimums for temperature as shown in Figure 2 , are in the range of 55°C.
- Example 6 Lactase activity and properties of sonicated dairy cultures After determining lactase activity of 2 strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cre oris and 2 strains of Lactobacillu ⁇ delbrueckii ⁇ ub ⁇ p. bulgaricu ⁇ 11842, the properties of crude lactase isolated from L. delbrueckii ⁇ ub ⁇ p. bulgaricu ⁇ 11842 were studied to ascertain whether sonicated dairy cultures can be used for lactose hydrolysis in milk.
- the enzyme activity was determined by incubating the sonicated cultures with o-nitro-phenyl- beta-D—galactopyranoside (ONPG) or o-nitrophenyl-beta-D- galactopyranoside-6-phosphate (ONPG-6P) and measuring the amount of o-nitrophenol released.
- Crude enzyme extract from L. delbrueckii ⁇ ub ⁇ p. bulgaricu ⁇ cultures of L . delbrueckii ⁇ ub ⁇ p. bulgaricu ⁇ 11842 were subjected to sonication at pH 7.0.
- the sonicated culture was incubated with autoclaved milk at 55°C and percent lactose hydrolysis is determined.
- the unsonicated and sonicated cultures of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 11842 showed the highest lactase activity per gram of culture. Upon sonication, there was about 3 to 8 times increase in the enzyme activity.
- the optimum pH and temperature for incubation of the milk with the crude lactase isolated from L. delbrueckii ⁇ ub ⁇ p. bulgaricu ⁇ 11842 was found to be 7.0 and 55°C. This is in keeping with the information shown in and discussed with respect to Figures 1 and 2. About 85% lactose hydrolysis was achieved in 16 h of incubation of sonicated culture of L. delbrueckii ⁇ ub ⁇ p.
- Example 9 Effect of sonication on release of ⁇ - galactosidase Upon sonication, maximum lactase activity was achieved after 4 min of sonicating L. delbrueckii ⁇ ub ⁇ p. bulgaricu ⁇ and S. thermophilu ⁇ , and after 12 min of sonicating L. acidophilu ⁇ cultures. High sonication time for L. acidophilu ⁇ culture as compared with other bacterial cultures may be an indication of rigid cell wall of this organism. Once the maximum lactase activity was achieved, there was no decrease in the enzyme activity on further sonication. This was in contrast with the observation of Kilara and Shahani (1976) . "Lactase activity of cultured and acidified dairy products". J.
- Dairy Sci . who reported a decrease in enzyme activity after 7 min sonication of a yogurt culture.
- the decrease in enzyme activity in their study may have been due to an increase in temperature during sonication which would cause inactivation of the liberated enzyme, as observed in our experiments. Controlling temperature of the culture during sonicating is therefore a preferred aspect of the process in releasing lactase into the culture medium.
- lactase produced by S. thermophilu ⁇ and L. delbrueckii ⁇ ub ⁇ p. bulgaricu ⁇ lactase are known as 0-D-galactoside galactohydrolase ( ⁇ -gal) (Wong et al, 1987) .
- ⁇ -gal 0-D-galactoside galactohydrolase
- thermophilu ⁇ especially in the skim milk system, and the survival in the acidic conditions was also satisfactory.
- S. thermophilu ⁇ contained the highest total lactase activity in broth systems, its activity in skim milk was much less pronounced.
- Cultures of S. cremori ⁇ possessed negligible amount of 0-gal activity under the present experimental conditions and thus the significance of its low pH survival for lactose malabsorbers needs to be studied further.
- the process according to this invention thereby, facilitates production of dairy products for lactose intolerant consumers, reasonable cost and allows a large segment of consumer population access to nutritious, economical food which have been denied in the past.
- the process of this invention does not introduce a foreign substance to the dairy products and hence, is safe and does not require regulatory approval.
- the process of this invention may be used by the manufacturers of dairy products, or may be carried out by dairy producers.
- the technique is readily achieved, easy to use and reliable in the hydrolysis of lactose in dairy products.
