Peptides prepared from marine raw materials by enzymatic hydrolysis thus needs additional processing to address these issues, either prior to hydrolysis or after the hydrolysis. Peptides do further have a characteristic bitter taste on its own linked to its molecular structure. This project, a collaboration between 3 leading industrial companies on marine oils and proteins (Aker Biomarine, Vedde (Triple999), and Calanus) focused on membrane technologies as a tool to remove non-desirable components from peptides and as a tool for improvement of organoleptic qualities in general. Membrane filtration, (pressure filtration using membranes with pore size down to retention of salts), has been used widely for production of clean water, and in the offshore industry for adjustment of ions in water from wells. Innolipid (the technology provider in this project) with competence on marine raw materials was assisted by the University of Stavanger to identify human resources and network. Scale up testing was performed by the company MT Separation. Dialysis is a type of filtration wherein water removed in the filtration along with various components passing the membrane is replaced by pure water. The project studied in detail efficiency of dialysis on removal of salts and other non-desirable components. A part of the non-desirable materials was efficiently removed whereas other items required to long time for dialysis with too much product (peptide) loss. The focus was to quantify and minimize loss of peptides on the selected membranes selected for ability to remove the specific contaminant to desired level. A couple of the contaminants proved to be easier removed prior to hydrolysis by alternative technologies. Since at least one contaminant contained much nitrogen, a process for quantifying peptides without relying on the traditional method of protein measurement was developed. And successfully so, and proving to be a tool for peptide work ahead. Organoleptic issues linked to the peptide structure itself was also addressed. The challenge here was to eventually remove a part of the peptides without too much product loss.
