A method for the production of a hydrolysate comprising: (a) admixing at least one protein or a portion thereof with: (A) at least one endoprotease; and (B) (a′) at least one proline tolerant tripeptidyl peptidase or fermentate comprising a proline tolerant tripeptidyl peptidase predominantly having exopeptidase activity wherein said proline tolerant tripeptidyl peptidase is capable of cleaving tri-peptides from the N-terminus of peptides having: Proline at P1; and synthetic amino acids at P1; or (b′) at least one proline tolerant tripeptidyl peptidase having exopeptidase activity wherein said proline tolerant tripeptidyl peptidase is capable of cleaving tri-peptides from the N-terminus of peptides having: Proline at PV; and synthetic amino acids at PV; and (b) recovering the hydrolysate. The invention also relates to methods for producing a hydrolysate comprising the use of an endoprotease an exo-tripeptidyl peptidase of the S53 family and an aminopeptidase, to uses of a proline tolerant tripeptidyl peptidase, compositions, food and/or feed additive compositions comprising the same, as well as hydrolysates and uses of proline tolerant tripeptidyl peptidases.

The disclosure discloses a method for preparing feed by bacteria-enzyme synergistic fermentation, belonging to the technical field of fermentation engineering. According to the disclosure, Lactobacillus plantarum JUN-DY-6, protease and cellulase are used as a starter, and Camellia seed meal or rapeseed meal is used as a substrate. The bacteria-enzyme fermentation product has higher yield of organic acids and flavor substances and better palatability, and can be used for preparing feed additives. The L. plantarum of the disclosure can inhibit growth of harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli, S. aureus and Salmonella in the intestinal tract of poultry and livestock, and is good for health of the intestinal tract. The method increases the added value of Camellia seed meal and rapeseed meal, and is conductive to reuse of waste.

A method of preparing a protein concentrate and protein concentrate compositions are described. The method relates to combining an aqueous process stream from a grain milling process with an oil seed material to form a slurry, steeping the slurry, and isolating a protein concentrate from the slurry. In one embodiment, the aqueous process stream comprises a soluble protein. In some embodiments, the method includes additional steps such as enzymatic treatment, washing of the isolated protein concentrate, and drying the protein concentrate.

The present invention describes a bio-based process to produce high quality protein concentrate (HQPC) by converting plant derived celluloses into bioavailable protein via aerobic incubation, including the use of such HQPC so produced as a nutrient, including use as a fish meal replacement in aquaculture diets.
