Abstract:

The present study aimed to develop a new technology of combined TGase-catalyzed cross-linking and microfiltration for the separation of CGMP from whey powder. The main technological parameters of TGase-catalyzed cross-linking were studied. Subsequently, the productivity, purity and amino acid composition of CGMP product were analyzed.  Results showed that a CGMP product with about 70% purity was obtained through 80 min TGase-catalyzed cross-linking with a substrate concentration of 8% and a TGase dose of 7 U/g at pH 6.5, 39 ℃ followed by microfiltration for 6 cycles.

Key words: casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP), transglutaminase (TGase), microfiltration, whey powder
