Abstract
Abstract Phosphopeptides useful as alimentary products or as medicaments are obtained by a method of subjecting phosphocaseinates of monovalent cations or paracasein derived therefrom to enzymatic hydrolysis with at least one proteolytic enzyme that simulates proteic digestion in vivo in the human body, ultrafiltering the resultant hydrolysate with a membrane that retains the enzyme to obtain a permeate containing phosphopeptides and non-phosphorylated peptides, adding to the permeate a bivalent cation salt to form aggregates of the phosphopeptides, subjecting the resultant solution to ultrafiltration with a membrane that retains the phosphopeiptide aggregates, and recovering the retained phosphopeptides. The phosphopeptides form salts, which have dietetic uses, with macroelements such as calcium and/or magnesium and/or oligoelements such as iron and zinc.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
A method for recovering phosphopeptides from a casein-based material containing phosphocaseinates of monovalent cations or paracasein derived therefrom comprising subjecting said casein-based material to an enzymatic hydrolysis at a PH in the range of 7 to 9 and a temperature in the range of 37° to 45° C. by means of at least one proteolytic enzyme capable of substantially reproducing the proteic digestion which occurs in vivo in the human body, subjecting the resultant hydrolyzate to at least one ultrafiltration step on membranes which retain the enzyme but allow all the peptides of the hydrolyzate to pass in the permeate to obtain a permeate containing phosphopeptides and non-phosphorylated peptides, adding to the permeate at least one bivalent cation salt to form aggregates of the phosphopeptides to produce a solution containing essentially the aggregates of phosphopeptides and the non-phosphorylated peptides, subjecting the solution to at least one ultrafiltration step with membranes that retain the aggregates of phosphopeptides and allow the non-phosphorylated peptides to pass through, and recovering the retained phosphopeptides.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
169 words
A method for recovering phosphopeptides from a casein-based material containing phosphocaseinates of monovalent cations or paracasein derived therefrom comprising subjecting said casein-based material to an enzymatic hydrolysis at a PH in the range of 7 to 9 and a temperature in the range of 37° to 45° C. by means of at least one proteolytic enzyme capable of substantially reproducing the proteic digestion which occurs in vivo in the human body, subjecting the resultant hydrolyzate to at least one ultrafiltration step on membranes which retain the enzyme but allow all the peptides of the hydrolyzate to pass in the permeate to obtain a permeate containing phosphopeptides and non-phosphorylated peptides, adding to the permeate at least one bivalent cation salt to form aggregates of the phosphopeptides to produce a solution containing essentially the aggregates of phosphopeptides and the non-phosphorylated peptides, subjecting the solution to at least one ultrafiltration step with membranes that retain the aggregates of phosphopeptides and allow the non-phosphorylated peptides to pass through, and recovering the retained phosphopeptides.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the phosphocaseinates are selected from the group contsisting of sodium, potassium and ammonium phosphocaseinates or derivatives of said phosphocaseinates.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
52 words
A method according to either of claims 1 or 2, wherein said casein-based material contains paracasein obtained by treating the monovalent cation phosphocaseinate with rennet, precipitating the paracasein contained in the resultant hydrolysis product by acidification to pH 4.6, and separating the precipitated paracasein from the supernatant solution which contains a caseinomacropeptide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the enzymatic hydrolysis step is carried out in a device which combines an ultrafiltration means with an enzymatic reactor to form a membrane enzymatic reactor.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
63 words
A method according to claim 4, wherein enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out continuously by feeding the casein-based material to a reaction zone so as to cause its intimate contact with the enzyme, withdrawing the reaction product continuously from the reaction zone, continuously passing the reaction product to an ultrafiltration zone, and continuously withdrawing a permeate from the ultrafiltration zone which constitutes the hydrolyzate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the pH is adjusted in the range of 7 to 8.5, during the enzymatic hydrolysis.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the proteolytic enzyme is pancreatin in the form of a natural pancreatic extract, or a synthetic mixture of trypsine and alphachymotrypsine.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the hydrolysis temperature is selected in the range of 37° to 40° C.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
Process according to claim 1, wherein bivalent cations contained by said recovered phosphopeptides are at least partially replaced by oligoelements selected from the group consisting of iron, zinc, copper, chromium, nickel, cobalt, manganese and selenium.
