Abstract
The optimum condition for the developement of a whey beverage from the concentrated whey was studied. Reverse osmosis system was used to obtain concentrated lactose from cheese whey. The hydrolysis degree of lactose by $\beta$-D-galactosidase was determined using HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography). The order of hydrolysis degree was 1:1, 2:l and 3:l concentrated lactose. It resulted from the concentrated salt which slightly inhibited $\beta$-D-galactosidase with constant enzyme dosage. The optimum condition for enzyme dosage was 2% in non-concentrated lactose, 3% in 2:l and 3% in 3:l concentrated lactose after 4 hours of reaction. When the 3:l concentrated lactose was used, more than 70% was hydrolyzed by 3% enzyme dosage. Furthermore the change of fermented whey by lactic acid bacteria was investigated. Based on the result of sensory test, the most favorable response was obtained at pH 4.2 and titratable acidity of 0.7% about 6 hours of fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$ with 2%: thermophilic starter.
농축유청으로부터 유청음료 제조를 위한 최적조건을 조사하기 위해 역삼투장치(reverse osmosis system)를 사용하여 치즈유청 속의 유당을 농축한 수 $\beta$-D-glactosidase로 가수분해시켜 그 분해정도를 HPLC(high performance liquid chromatography)로 측정하였다. 유당의 가수분해 정도는 농축적 유청, 2배 농축 유청과 3배 농축 유청 순으로 가수분해되었고 일정량의 효소첨가에 의해 농축된 염이 $\beta$-D-Galactosidase에 대한 약간의 저해작용을 일으켰다.
