Beta galactosidase enzymatic hydrolysis: Kerry GroupRecent Research Landscape

The cluster focuses on the specific biocatalytic conversion of lactose into galacto-oligosaccharides and glucose/galactose. Controlling the enzymatic reaction pathway and filtration parameters enables the production of functional prebiotic fibers and lactose-free dairy derivatives.

What technical problems is Kerry Group addressing in Beta galactosidase enzymatic hydrolysis?

Poor enzyme filtrability

(9)evidences

The keywords explicitly address the difficulty of filtering lactase and the need for sterile filtration. Improving filtrability prevents membrane fouling and reduces processing time during enzyme purification.

Inadequate enzyme process stability

(8)evidences

Standard lactase enzymes often degrade during high-temperature processing or storage in dairy production. Improving stability ensures consistent hydrolysis and longer shelf life in fermented milk products.
