The present invention relates to the use of enzymes in the production of food. In particular, the invention provides novel methods and applications for enzymes for the exploitation of agro-industrial by-products to obtain more palatable animal feed and food products suitable for human consumption. More specifically, the invention discloses a method for enzymatically degrading kaempferol-3-O-(2"'-O-sinapoyl-β-sophoroside), a recently identified bitter-constituent present in rapeseed that has, so far, prevented this plant from serving as a protein source for human nutrition. The invention further teaches the use of enzymes derived from the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune that are capable of hydrolyzing sinapyl ester-containing kaempferol-3-O-(2"'-O-sinapoyl-β-sophoroside) into non-bitter degradation products. Finally, the invention provides a feed, e.g., an animal feed or a food product for human consumption obtainable by the methods disclosed herein.
本发明涉及酶在食品生产中的应用。特别是,本发明提供了酶的新方法和应用,以利用农工副产品获得更适口的动物饲料和适合人类消费的食品。更具体地说,本发明公开了一种用酶降解
山奈酚-3-O-(2"'-O-苷酰-β-
槐糖苷)的方法,
山奈酚-3-O-(2"'-O-苷酰-β-
槐糖苷)是最近发现的一种存在于油菜籽中的苦味成分,迄今为止,这种苦味成分阻碍了这种植物作为人类营养的蛋白质来源。本发明进一步传授了从基枝孢霉(Schizophyllum commune)中提取的酶的使用方法,这种酶能够将含
山奈酚酯的
山奈酚-3-O-(2"'-O-sinapoyl-β-
槐糖苷)
水解为无苦味的降解产物。最后,本发明提供了一种饲料,例如,可通过本文公开的方法获得的动物饲料或供人类食用的食品。
