Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a dairy product using an enzyme having lactase activity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A polypeptide having transgalactosylating activity, which is a truncated polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of amino acids 28-979 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or is a fragment thereof having transgalactosylating activity, wherein the polypeptide is isolated. 2. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the truncated polypeptide consists of the amino acid sequence of amino acids 28-979 of SEQ ID NO: 1. 3. The polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the truncated polypeptide consists of the amino acid sequence of a fragment of amino acids 28-979 of SEQ ID NO: 1. 4. A composition comprising the polypeptide of claim 1 . 5. The composition of claim 4 , which is a food composition. 6. The composition of claim 5 , which is a dairy product. 7. A method for producing a food product, comprising treating a substrate comprising lactose with the polypeptide of claim 1 . 8. A method for producing a dairy product, comprising treating a milk-based substrate comprising lactose with the polypeptide of claim 1 . 9. A method for producing galacto-oligosaccharides, comprising contacting the polypeptide of claim 1 with a milk-based substrate comprising lactose. 10. A method for producing galacto-oligosaccharides, comprising contacting the polypeptide of claim 2 with a milk-based substrate comprising lactose. 11. A polypeptide having transgalactosylating activity, which is a fragment having an amino acid sequence which is at least 98% identical to amino acids 28-979 of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the fragment consists of at most 952 amino acid residues and has transgalactosylating activity, wherein the polypeptide is isolated. 12. A composition comprising the polypeptide of claim 11 . 13. The composition of claim 12 , which is a food composition. 14. The composition of claim 13 , which is a dairy product. 15. A method for producing a food product, comprising treating a substrate comprising lactose with the polypeptide of claim 11 . 16. A method for producing a dairy product, comprising treating a milk-based substrate comprising lactose with the polypeptide of claim 11 . 17. A method for producing galacto-oligosaccharides, comprising contacting the polypeptide of claim 11 with a milk-based substrate comprising lactose.
