This application relates to the field of dairy
processing technology, specifically disclosing a composite DHA
milk protein peptide, its preparation method, and its application. The process involves homogenizing DHA algal oil with an emulsifier under
high pressure to prepare a nano-sized DHA
emulsion (particle size 100-300 nm), achieving efficient encapsulation and stabilization protection of DHA. The resulting DHA
emulsion is then mixed with skim milk, and targeted
enzymatic hydrolysis with
trypsin and
flavor protease at 45-55℃ and pH 6.5-7.0 for 2-4 hours hydrolyzes the
milk protein into
small molecule peptides. After
enzyme inactivation and
drying, the composite DHA
milk protein peptide is obtained. This process significantly improves
protein digestibility while protecting DHA stability;
in vitro simulated
digestion experiments show a digestibility and
absorption rate of over 94.8%. Further application of this
protein peptide in the preparation of
liquid milk yields a DHA
retention rate of over 92%, and even after 6 months of storage at
room temperature, there is no obvious oxidized
fishy odor. This effectively solves the technical problems of DHA's easy oxidation and poor stability in dairy products, demonstrating good nutritional synergistic value and promising industrial application prospects.
