The invention belongs to the technical field of food, and particularly discloses hydrolyzed whey
powder with sheep
flavor and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: adding sheep
whey protein into water, and dissolving to obtain
protein liquid; adding flavourzyme,
chymotrypsin and
alkaline protease into the
protein liquid, and performing enzymolysis and
enzyme deactivation to obtain enzymatic
hydrolysate; and carrying out
nanofiltration on the enzymatic
hydrolysate by using a
nanofiltration membrane with the molecular weight
cut-off of 150Da, and carrying out
spray drying to obtain the hydrolyzed whey
powder. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving sheep
whey protein in water, carrying out enzymolysis by using flavourzyme,
chymotrypsin and
alkaline protease, carrying out
ultrafiltration by using
ultrafiltration membranes with different molecular weights, and carrying out
spray drying to obtain the hydrolyzed whey
powder with sheep
flavor, the content of beta-lactoglobules in the hydrolyzed whey powder is reduced by more than 90% compared with that before
hydrolysis, and the content of beta-lactoglobules in the hydrolyzed whey powder is reduced by more than 90% compared with that before
hydrolysis. The proportion of small molecules with the molecular weight smaller than 1000 Da in
total protein is larger than 60%, bitterness is avoided, and wide application prospects are achieved.
