Milk protein is often fractionated/concentrated by using various techniques in dairy industries. Among these techniques, ultrafiltration (UF) is particularly efficient at concentrating the casein fraction of milk protein. The objectives of this study were to produce casein hydrolysates by concentrating the casein fraction in skim milk using the UF technique and to investigate the chemical composition of the casein hydrolysates. The skim milk was concentrated using a UF laboratory test unit equipped with 10 kDa and 30 kDa membranes. After UF, the protein content of the milk was concentrated up to ~7.2% and the Ca was concentrated up to ~196 mg/100 g of milk. Trypsin was then added to the concentrated skim milk to produce the casein hydrolysates. The results of sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the casein fraction was not present after hydrolysis, indicating that casein in the milk had been hydrolyzed. The Ca content in the casein hydrolysates was much higher (p<0.05) compared to Ca content in commercial casein phosphopeptides (CPP) indicating that was acidified during the manufacture of commercial CPP. In conclusion, it seems that casein hydrolysates containing large concentrations of protein and Ca can also be made from concentrated UF milk without acidification or renneting.

Milk mineral, which is also called milk calcium, was recovered from concentrated skim milk ultrafiltration permeate (CUFP). Lactose, the major constituent of CUFP, was crystallized by the addition of ethanol; lactose precipitation was observed to increase as the ratio of CUFP to ethanol increased. The calcium content of CUFP remained constant at a CUFP to ethanol ratio of 1:2, while it significantly decreased at a CUFP to ethanol ratio of 1:4. When ethanol (95%, v/v) was reused to precipitate lactose out of CUFP, 85% of the initial lactose precipitated out, while 82% of calcium remained soluble in the CUFP after storage for 24 h.

The study investigated the effects of protein concentration, EGTA and strength of hydrostatic pressure on pH, viscosity and turbidity for ultra filtrated skim milk retentates. The results showed that hydrostatic pressure treatments up to 600 MPa did not affect the viscosity of skim milk, while the turbidity of skim milk increased at higher than 200 MPa. Addition of EGTA caused reduction in turbidity of skim milk, two times (2SR) and three times (3SR) concentrated skim milk retentates. Viscosity for 2SR and 3SR increased proportionally to the amount of EGTA, but viscosity of skim milk was not influenced by EGTA. High pressure treatment also did not cause any difference in viscosity and turbidity of skim milk. However, this treatment decreased viscosity and turbidity for 2SR and 3SR. In particular, 200 MPa treatment showed to induce a higher decrease in turbidity compared with 400 MPa.

Probiotics are often infused into functional foods or encapsulated in a supplement form to maintain a healthy balance between the gut microbiota and their host. Because there are milk-based functional foods such as yogurt and cheese on the market, it has been suggested that milk-based probiotics could be incorporated into skim milk proteins in a liquid capsule. Skim milk is mainly composed of casein and whey protein, which create a strong natural barrier and can be used to encapsulate probiotics. In this study, we compared the encapsulated probiotics prepared with milk-based concentrated cell mixtures using commercial probiotics. Probiotic capsules were emulsified with skim milk proteins using vegetable oil to form a double coating layer. The product was heat-stable when tested using a rheometer. The survival rate of the milk-based probiotic cells in the lower gastric environment with bile was significantly higher than commercial probiotics. Thus, milk-encapsulated probiotics exhibited greater efficacy in the host than other types of probiotics, suggesting that the former could be more viable with a longer shelf life under harsh conditions than other form of probiotics. Our findings suggested that, compared with other types of probiotics, milk-based probiotics may be a better choice for producers and consumers.

This study was to investigate principle of freeze concentration such as nucleation, crystal growth and procedure of freeze concentration, essential factor and application of freeze concentration. Especially, quality of milk was emphasized. For exemple, in sensory evaluation of freeze concentrated and reconstituted skim milk and whole milk, taste, color, mouth feel and texture were superior to control. Recently developed technique of freeze concentration for quality milk and dairy products may be expected for advanced quality of various milk and dairy products in near future.

Yogurt containing high ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was developed using lactic acid bacteria and germinated brown rice. Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. plantarum, and L. brevis OPY-1 strains were inoculated into Lactobacillus MRS broth for use as yogurt starter. After treatment with 5% monosodium glutamate in MRS broth, L. brevis OPY-1 strain isolated from Kimchi produced GABA concentration of 8,003.28 nmol/mL. Starter was inoculated into fermentation substrate mixture containing germinated brown rice extract and blend of powdered whole milk and skim milk. Samples were incubated, and viable cell colonies were counted. Highest number of lactic acid bacteria was reached between 16 and 20 hr. Concentrated rice milk fermented with high GABA-producing strain contained GABA concentrations of $137.17\;{\mu}g/g$ D.W., whereas concentrated fermented milk prepared by conventional method contained GABA of $1.29\;{\mu}g/g$ D.W. Sensory evaluation panelists gave favorable ratings to fermented rice milk containing high GABA concentration.

Calcium-stimulated ATPase ($Ca^{2+}$-ATPase) which has optimal pH value at 7.0 was found in the membrane fraction of human milk, and its enzymatic properties were studied. The purified $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase required 0.45 mM Ca ion for maximal activity. Among the nucleosides, $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase showed a higher substrate specificity to ATP and UTP than to CTP and GTP. $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase had apparent Km value of 0.065, and V max of 7.63 mol ATP hydrolyzed/mg pro-tein per min, respectively. $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase was potently inhibited by lanthanide, vanadate, and p-chloromercuribenzoate, and inactivated by EDTA, and CDTA and EGTA, but were unaffected by N-ethylmaleimide, $NaN_3$, ouabain, or oligomycin, and was completely inactivated by heating at $60^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. This enzyme activity was concentrated in the membrane fraction of the cream and skim milk membrane, but not founded in bovine milk.

이전의 연구에서 토양으로부터 많은 양의 세포외 단백질분해 효소를 생산하는 신종 중온세균 Chryseobacterium sp. JK1를 분리하였다. 이 균주가 생산하는 단백질 분해효소의 특성조사 결과 최적반응온도와 pH는 각각 $40^{\circ}C$와 7.0이였으며, 좁은 최적온도 구간과 비교적 넓은 pH 구간인 pH 6.0-9.0에서 높은 활성을 보여주었다. 그리고 단백질 분해효소는 EDTA 또는 EGTA, PMSF와 금속이온 $Ag^+$ 또는 $Cu^{2+}$의 첨가에 의해 강하게 저해 되었으며, $Al^{3+}$의 첨가에 의해 약하게 저해되었다. Pepstatin과 금 속이온 $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Fe^{2+}$ 또는 $Mg^{2+}$의 첨가는 저해에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 이와 반대로 단백질분해효소는 이가 금속이온인 $Mn^{2+}$ (5 mM)의 첨가에 의해 효소활성이 향상되었다. 농축된 배양 상등액의 활성염색 분석으로 67과 145 kDa 크기의 주요 밴드 두 개가 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과들로 Chryseobacterium sp. JK1 균주가 식품산업에 응용 가능한 세포외 중성의 serine 단백질 분해효소를 생산한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
