Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of food biotechnology, and specifically relates to an instant casein composition and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Micellar casein has been widely used in various food and beverage industries, including sports food, weight loss food, special medical food and dairy products. The slow digestion characteristics of micellar casein can effectively delay hunger, making it have potential application value in sports nutrition food and weight management food. Micellar casein is used to make ice cream, clinical nutrition products, cheese and fresh dairy products. Micellar casein is different from other caseins / caseinates. It exists in a natural form and has excellent emulsification, suspension stability and thermal stability. When used in liquid preparations, it can withstand the heat treatment process during processing. However, it is sensitive to divalent ions, such as calcium ions, and it is easy to cause flocculation and precipitation of the system.

[0003] In existing production technologies, casein has very poor solubility and requires vigorous stirring to disperse in water. Furthermore, the formed colloid cannot be stably dispersed in water and is prone to precipitating a large amount of precipitation.

[0004] Chinese patent CN115633726B provides a method for preparing and applying casein, wherein casein is extracted from qula as a raw material, and the reaction system includes sodium citrate, sodium hydroxide, calcium chloride, trisodium phosphate, and an ethanol aqueous solution is added. The pH value of the system needs to be repeatedly adjusted, and the process is complicated. The casein finally obtained is mainly used for the preparation of cheese and is not instant soluble.

[0005] Chinese patent CN114181292B provides a preparation process for highly soluble casein peptides that improve sleep. While ensuring solubility, the peptide content of the enzymatic hydrolysis product can also be guaranteed, while also taking into account the activity of improving sleep. Through simple pretreatment and superposition of relatively specific pancreatic enzymes, bromelain or flavor proteases, the casein sequence is first lightly enzymatically cleaved to release the precursor peptide, and then accurately and appropriately compounded with other proteases for deep enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzyme consumption is very low, and the solubility and peptide content are significantly improved. However, this process belongs to the biological decomposition processing of casein, and the processed product is no longer complete casein. The process is complicated, and the product has poor flavor and no longer has the inherent flavor of casein.

[0006] Chinese patent CN102763762B provides a method for producing calcium caseinate using food-grade casein as a raw material. The instant calcium caseinate product produced has good solubility. This method belongs to a chemical reaction method in which casein reacts with calcium hydroxide. The obtained product is no longer casein, but caseinate. The product is a powder, and the dissolution process requires vigorous stirring, and the instant solubility is poor.

[0007] How to use natural casein micelles to prepare casein micelles that are fast-soluble, have good fluidity, are compatible with divalent ions, and are suitable for both solid and liquid dosage forms of food remains a technical challenge. Summary of the invention
