A method for preparing a low-bitter rice protein peptide

This invention provides a method for preparing low-bitter rice protein peptides, relating to the fields of food processing and bioengineering. The method involves preparing rice protein slurry, followed by ultra-fine pulverization using an ultra-high pressure, high-energy fluid mill. Through the synergistic effect of extreme shearing, cavitation, and impaction, the dense protein structure is efficiently disrupted, exposing enzyme cleavage sites and directionally reconstructing hydrophobic ends. Subsequently, a combination of endopeptides and exopeptides is added for enzymatic hydrolysis. The endopeptides achieve efficient hydrolysis, while the exopeptides precisely remove terminal hydrophobic amino acids, controlling bitterness generation at its source. This invention overcomes the technical bottlenecks of low efficiency and high bitterness associated with traditional enzymatic hydrolysis. The resulting rice protein peptides have a degree of hydrolysis exceeding 11%, a protein recovery rate exceeding 55%, and a bitterness value far lower than commercially available products. Furthermore, the process is continuous and the conditions are mild, making it suitable for high-end fields such as infant formula, sports nutrition foods, and special medical foods.
