Abstract: Milk protein from cow milk was continuously hydrolyzed in an enzyme membrane reactor to produce infant formulas. Trypsin was used as the hydrolyzing enzyme to modify the protein. Optimum parameters during the CSTMR’s operation were temperature 45℃, pH8.0, enzyme substrate ratio 1.84%, substrate concentration 0.4%, and pressure 0.05MPa. Through SDS- PAGE analysis, it was found that the hydrolysate contains less proteins than the unhydrolysate, especially the αs- casein is 90% hydrolyzed and over 50% β-lactoglobulin from milk serum is degraded.
