Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of industrial catalysis, and in particular relates to a photocatalytic composite material and a method for removing lactose from milk products. Background Art

[0002] Animal milk products such as milk, goat milk and camel milk and dairy products are rich in nutrients. Taking milk as an example, every 100 grams of milk contains approximately 54 kcal of energy, 3 grams of protein, 3.2 grams of fat, 3.4 grams of carbohydrates, 15 mg of cholesterol, 24 micrograms of vitamin A, 0.03 mg of thiamine, 0.14 mg of riboflavin, 0.1 mg of niacin, 1 mg of vitamin C, 0.21 mg of vitamin E, 104 mg of calcium, 73 mg of phosphorus, 109 mg of potassium, 37.2 mg of sodium, 11 mg of magnesium, 0.3 mg of iron, 0.42 mg of zinc, 1.94 micrograms of selenium, 0.02 mg of copper, and 0.03 mg of manganese. Although dairy products are rich in nutrients, a large number of people have adverse reactions to the lactose in dairy products, which is called lactose intolerance, also known as lactose indigestion or lactose malabsorption. The main reason is that the human body does not produce lactase to break down lactose. The lactose in dairy products cannot be digested and absorbed. The lactose will be broken down by bacteria in the intestines and turned into lactic acid, thereby destroying the alkaline environment of the intestines, causing the intestines to secrete a large amount of alkaline digestive fluid to neutralize the lactic acid, which can easily cause mild diarrhea.

[0003] Lactose is a carbohydrate found in human and mammalian milk. It is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose with a molecular formula of C 12 H 22 O 11 In nature, lactose only exists in the milk of mammals. The lactose content in cow's milk is generally 4.5-5.0%. Lactose is a disaccharide formed by the combination of D-glucose and D-galactose with a β-1,4 bond, also known as 1,4-galactoside glucose, which is a reducing sugar. Lactose has two isomers: α-lactose and β-lactose. α-lactose can easily combine with a molecule of crystal water to become α-lactose hydrate (α-Lactose Monohydrate), so there are actually three configurations of lactose. That is, α-lactose hydrate, α-lactose anhydrous and β-lactose.

[0004] Lactose intolerance has not yet been treated with good medical treatment methods such as drugs. Currently, dietary adjustment has become the best way to solve the problem of lactose intolerance. Lactose hydrolyzed milk with a hydrolysis degree of 70%-90%, also known as low-lactose milk, is a choice that can ensure the nutritional value of milk and can be used by lactose intolerant people. The main physical and chemical indicators of low-lactose milk currently sold on the market are: milk fat ≥3.1%, protein ≥2.9%, non-fat milk solids>8.1%, hydrolysis rate ≥70%, specific gravity ≥1.028, lactose ≤1.2%, acidity ≤18°T, which means that the problem of lactose removal still exists. Many companies cannot solve the problem of removing lactose from milk products due to technical reasons, so low-lactose milk on the market has just started. According to the mechanism of lactose hydrolysis in milk, there are four production methods for low-lactose milk: physical removal, chemical acid hydrolysis, enzyme hydrolysis and genetic engineering technology. The physical method mainly removes most of the lactose by filtering, and uses multi-stage membrane separation and centrifugation to remove lactose, so that the total sugar level is below 0.5%, and the product basically retains the original nutritional essence and taste of milk. However, the physical method removes the vitamins and minerals that are very important to the human body along with lactose. If they are added later, the production cost will be greatly increased, and the nutrients will be wasted; the acid hydrolysis method uses strong acid and high temperature to hydrolyze lactose (pH1-3, temperature 100-150℃). This method is very easy to cause the raw milk to deteriorate and cannot be used at present; the enzyme hydrolysis method is to hydrolyze lactose into monosaccharides that are easily absorbed and utilized by the human body by adding exogenous β-galactosidase. This method has mild hydrolysis conditions, simple products, good taste, and will not destroy other nutrients in milk. It is the safest and most effective method for producing low-lactose milk to date. However, exogenous proteins will be mixed into milk, and the production cost is high. The enzyme is easily contaminated by microorganisms when acting, and the action time is difficult to control. At the same time, since lactose is hydrolyzed into monosaccharides, its sweetness will increase by 3-4 times. In addition, the Maillard reaction is prone to occur during sterilization, resulting in browning, which affects the sensory quality of the product. The industrial production of low-lactose milk by enzyme hydrolysis requires high investment and high technical difficulty. The last and more direct method is to ferment raw milk into yogurt for consumption. Lactose is decomposed into a molecule of galactose and glucose, which can be directly absorbed and utilized.

[0005] Existing invention patents show that there is little research on the removal of lactose. For example, the disclosed invention patents (CN202011396680.5, CN202011396984.1, CN202011396982.2) proposed a method for synthesizing derivatives of galactose and lactose, but did not mention the removal of lactose. The disclosed Chinese invention patent (CN202011396680.5) proposed a method for synthesizing galactose derivatives and their application in the preparation of oligosaccharides. The disclosed invention patent (CN202210558827.9) proposed a processing equipment for lactose-free dairy products involving dairy products, but did not make innovations and breakthroughs in the lactose removal process. The authorized Chinese invention patent "Method for removing lactose from a solution" (CN201580006107.X) provides protein-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, which contain magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to which proteins or enzymes that bind lactose have been fixed. The protein-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles are particularly suitable for separating lactose from solutions containing lactose, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, flavored milk, etc. The protein-functionalized MNPs can be added to a solution containing lactose and bind to the lactose in the solution. Then, the MNPs bound to lactose can be magnetically removed from the solution, for example, by applying an external magnetic field. The MNPs in this method need to be protected, and two methods are used: the first method is to coat the MNPs with an organic shell, such as a surfactant, a polymer, and a biomolecule. Another method is to coat the MNPs with an inorganic layer, such as silica and a metal, and finally to combine with lactase to obtain a low-lactose product. The separation problem of the magnetic nanoparticles is not detailed, and the overall industrialization is difficult. The patent also expires in 2021. The authorized Chinese invention patent "A method for preparing low-lactose milk" (CN200710000802.2) provides a method for preparing low-lactose milk. The method includes steps of purification, sterilization, cooling, preparing composition (stabilizer), adding lactase and filling, etc., and adopts enzymatic hydrolysis method. The method has good effect overall. Although lactose cannot be completely removed and the protein content is slightly reduced, dietary fiber is also added to the formula to basically maintain the flavor of the milk. The above method can be said to prepare low-lactose milk, which cannot completely remove lactose and will reduce the quality of the milk. At the same time, lactose is not converted into usable high-value and high-nutrition ingredients for human absorption.

[0006] The present invention proposes a method for preparing low-lactose milk products using the principle of photocatalysis. First, a photocatalytic material is prepared, and nano-TiO 2 and food grade activated carbon (AC), or use TiCl 4 , ethylene glycol, and food-grade activated carbon hydrothermal synthesis of TiO 2 / activated carbon composite material, which is applied to food-grade pollution-free conductive substrates such as titanium plates or graphite plates, the coated substrate and a titanium plate of the same area are loaded into a reactor, and liquid milk to be treated is put into the reactor. Under stirring conditions, strong sunlight or weak ultraviolet light is applied, and a low voltage is applied to the two plates at the same time. Under this condition, the lactose and glucose in the liquid milk are reacted to produce sugars such as erythrose that can be absorbed by the human body. Summary of the invention

After a certain reaction time, liquid milk B is obtained for use;

[0012] (4) The liquid milk B described in step (3) is filtered and impurities are removed under certain temperature conditions, and then sterilized to obtain liquid milk C.
