Description
DESCRIPTION
METHOD OF PURIFYING WHEY OF LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION BY
ELECTRODIALYSIS
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method of purifying whey separated from lactic acid fermentation liquid by electrodialysis.
The whey contains angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibiting peptides. The peptides obtained in the purified whey according to the present invention can be used for anti-high blood pressure agent or foods, when the whey is further treated for oral administration.
Background Of The Invention
The angiotensin-converting enzyme, hereinafter referred to as ACE, is mainly present in lungs and vascular endothelial cells, and acts on angiotensin I
(Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu) to remove a dipeptide
(His-Leu) at its c-terminal and to form angiotensin II , which has a strong blood pressure increasing activity. The ACE also has an ability to decompose and to inactivate bradykinin which decreases blood pressure. Thus, the ACE acts to increase blood pressure by producing angiotensin II on the one hand, while decomposing bradykinin to increase blood pressure.
Accordingly, when the angiotensin-converting enzyme is inhibited, high blood pressure could decrease, and many drugs which contain the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor have been developed and used for anti-high blood pressure.
Certain peptides were recently found to be useful, being as low in toxicity and highly safe anti-high blood pressure agents, and natural and synthetic peptides are reported to be possible anti-high blood pressure drugs (Japanese Patent Publication No.120,225/1991) . It is also known that peptides containing Ile-Pro-Pro (hereinafter referred to as IPP) or Val-Pro-Pro (hereinafter referred to as VPP) as its basic peptide structure have ACE inhibiting properties, and that these peptides can be produced in large amounts by culturing certain lactic acid bacteria, or lactic acid bacteria and yeast (Japanese Patents Nos.2,782, 142 and2, 782, 153) . Drugs or foods consisting ofthe peptides areproposed to be highly safe and useful in a small amount for decreasing high blood pressure in forms of oral administration, when the cultured liquid is treated for purification and separation.
It may be possible to use the fermentation liquid as obtained in accordance with the processes described in the above patents as the ACE-inhibiting drugs or foods containing the ACE inhibiting peptides (hereinafter referred to as ACEI peptides) . However, it may have poor palatability for oral intake, and is not appropriate to drink without further purification processes, because they contain lactic acid and some other substances to some extent. Accordingly, it is desirable to remove substances other than the ACEI peptides from the liquid. Drugs or foods in a dry form including the peptides in more concentrated form than the liquid are more useful. Proteins and the ACEI peptides having IPP or VPP as its
basic peptide structure, which are produced by culturing lactic acid bacteria or lactic acidbacteria and yeast are partlyhydrolyzed to form IPP and VPP in the cultured broth. Disclosure of Invention
The fermentation liquid is subjected to treatments for solid-liquid separation, including centrifugation and filtration to obtain whey as a supernatant, which contains a major portion of the ACEI peptides. The acids and other impurities in the whey may be removed by subjecting the whey to one or a combination of the following treatments including electrodialysis, a treatment with ion exchange resins, hollow fiber membrane dialysis, reverse osmosis treatment, and hydrophobic column chromatography. The purified whey is converted to dry matter containing ACEI peptides.
Electrodialysis is generally considered to be one of the most advantageous techniques topurify the whey, however, generally known dialysis has disadvantages in that it took a long period for the dialysis, because of slow movement of ions due to polarization or fouling. Another disadvantage of electrodialysis is low efficiency in recovering the end product ACEI peptides, because proteins and other compounds having large molecule sizes resolved in the whey may decrease permeability of acids, water, and other ions through the ion exchange membrane. On the other hand, ACEI peptides, such as IPP andVPP, having small molecular sizes easilypenetrate through the membrane.
We have now found that when an anion exchange membrane having a permeability of diffusion coefficient in a range of 3.0 to 9.0 X10"6 cm/sec, more preferably in a range of from 5.0 through 7.0 X10"6 cm/sec, is used for purification and concentration of the whey, which is obtained from lactic acid fermentation liquid by separation, and contains ACEI peptides, the lactic acid and other ions are smoothly removed, and the ACEI peptides can be recovered in veryhigh yield for avery short period of treatment; nevertheless, the membrane is called loose-type membrane and has rather large holes, through which charged substances having large molecular weights easily penetrate.
Accordingly, there is provided a method of purifying whey separated from lactic acid fermentation liquid containing ACEI peptides by electrodialysis, which comprises using an anion exchange membrane having a permeability of diffusion coefficient in a range of 3.0 to 9.0 X10"6 cm/sec, and more preferably in the range of 5.0 through 7.0 X10"6 cm/sec. in the dialysis.
It is an aspect of the present invention to provide an efficient method of electrodialysis to remove lactic acid and ions other than ACEI peptides from whey.
It is another aspect of the present invention to provide a method of purifying whey by electrodialysis to remove lactic acid and ions other than ACEI peptides in a short period of time.
Best Mode for Carrying Out of the Invention
The lactic acid fermentation liquid containing ACEI peptides can be obtained by culturing lactic acid bacteria, or lactic acid bacteria and yeast in accordance with the description in Japanese Patents Nos. 2,782,142 and 2,782,153. Whey can be obtained from the fermentation liquid as supernatant by solid-liquid separation, including centrifugation, filtration or decantation of the liquid. Whey thus obtained contains large amounts of ACEI peptides as well as acids, other ions and proteins, and subjected to electrodialysis for purification. If desired, the solutions may be partly concentrated under diminished pressure before subjecting to dialysis.
In themethod ofpurifying thewheybyelectrodialysis according to the present invention, an anion exchange membrane having a permeability of diffusion coefficient in the range of 3.0 to 9.0 X10"6 cm/sec, and more preferably, in the range of 5.0 to 7.0 X 10"6 cm/sec. is used. The diffusion coefficient was determined by the following processes; 0.5 normal sodium chloride solution-membrane-3 normal sodium chloride solution are stirred in a vessel, differences in the concentration of the sodium chloride is measured, and diffusion coefficient of the used membrane was determined by the formula of:
Diffusion coefficient (cm/sec. )= transferred amount of sodium chloride (mol/sec.) X area of membrane (cm2) XΔC(mol/cc)
Cation permeable ion exchange membrane which can be used in the present invention may not have any restrictions, and suitable membranes may include those having a permeability of diffusion coefficient in the range of 3.0 to 5.0 X10"6 cm/sec, and those in the range of 4.0 to 6.0 X10"6 cm/sec, and other membranes giving similar results may be used.
There are no more operating conditions to be added to conventional electrodialysis particularly according to the present invention, generally known electrodialysis units can be used, and the current applied to the electrodes is controlled to maximize current efficiency. The rate of conductivity of the whey to the current density may be that generally used, and the dialysis is performed at ambient temperatures up to about 50 °C, for 3 to 10 hours. During dialysis, acids including lactic acids, and other charged substances will be removed from the whey into a diffusate, while ACEI peptides remain in a dialyzate. According to the present invention, the dialysis is completed for a much shorter period with a higher yield of ACE inhibitor than that where anion exchange membrane having an outside range of the diffusion coefficient of the present invention is used. For medicinal applications, the purified whey solution may be dried by conventional drying methods.
EXAMPLE 1 112 Kilograms lactic acid fermentation liquid was prepared in accordance with Japanese Patent No. 2,782,153, and the liquid
was subjected to a centrifugation with 10, 000 r.p. . for 5 minutes. The supernatant (whey solution) contained 2.1 mg/lOOg of IPP, and 3.9mg/100g of VPP.
In the present invention, ACEI activities of IPP are 1.7 times that ofVPP, and accordingly, the amounts ofACEI peptides are defined as combined amounts of IPP and VPP calculated by the following formula:
Amount of ACEI peptides (as VPP amount )= amount of IPP(mg/100g) X1.7 +amount of VPP(mg/100g)
The supernatant obtained above was distilled under vacuum in a long plate type evaporator, "Super-Long Plate Evaporator RET-100 ," manufactured by Hisaka Co. , Ltd., Japan, to a total volume of one seventh (1/7), and a concentrated whey obtained. It had properties of pH 3.0; and contained 37.67 % (W/W) saccharide, 62.2% water, 13.8 % acid and 52.4 mg/lOOg ACEI peptides.
3Kg of the concentrated whey solution was subjected to a electrodialysis by using a unit of TS-2-10 type dialyzer, manufactured by Tokuyama Co., Ltd., Japan. The unit was assembled with 10 pairs of an anion exchange membrane "Neosepta AMX" having a permeability of diffusion coefficient of 6.0 XIO"6 cm/sec. and having an effective surface area of 2dM2 per sheet of membrane, manufactured by Tokuyama Co, .Ltd., Japan, and a cation exchange membrane "Neosepta CMX" having a permeability of diffusion coefficient of 5.0 XIO"6 cm/sec. and having an effective surface area of 2dM2 per sheet of membrane, manufactured by Tokuyama Co, .
Ltd., Japan. The voltage applied to the vessel was 14.2 volts, the initial current was 2.94 A, the final current was 1.41 A. The total current applied was 15.5 AH at 15 to 30 °C for 620 minutes. Results obtained are shown in Table 1.
