Methods of processing protein, methods of generating products with the processed protein, and products comprising and/or made with the processed protein. The methods of processing protein include hydrolyzing the protein with a proteolytic agent such as thermolysin to generate hydrolyzed peptides and, optionally, crosslinking the hydrolyzed peptides with a transglutaminase to generate crosslinked peptides. The methods reduce the allergenicity of allergenicity proteins such as β-lactoglobulin and casein. The methods of generating products with the processed protein include methods of making foams, emulsions, and/or food products with the processed protein. The products comprising and/or made with the processed protein accordingly include foams, emulsions, and food products. The foams, emulsions, and food products have decreased allergenicity compared to corresponding products made with non-processed proteins.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel protein crosslinking method. In the present invention, a crosslinking reaction is accelerated by causing both an oxidoreductase such as a laccase and a protein deamidase such as a protein glutaminase to act on a substrate protein.

The invention relates to a composition comprising at least one first aminopeptidase and at least one second aminopeptidase, the first aminopeptidase representing up to 40% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

The present invention relates to an acidified protein product. Particularly, the invention relates to acidified protein product which can be used as a cheese or a meat substitute that can be fried or grilled. The present invention relates also the processes for producing such acidified protein products.

The present disclosure generally relates to methods of preparing protein hydrolysates for use in pediatric nutritional compositions. Specifically, alpha-, beta- and/or kappa casein enriched casein, acid casein or caseinates can be hydrolyzed with proteases such as trypsin (trypsin-like), chymotrypsin (chymotrypsin-like), pepsin and/or plasmin to produce a hydrolysate that is close to the peptide composition of human breast milk.

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a casein hydrolysate by hydrolysis of casein with endogenous plasmin, and the casein hydrolysate obtainable by the method. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of preparing a casein hydrolysate without adding any exogenous enzymes such that an organic casein hydrolysate is obtained.
