The invention relates to construction of a heat-resistant beta-galactosidase
mutant. When the heat-resistant beta-galactosidase (BgaB)
mutant (BgaB-F341T) provided by the invention is used for a
lactose hydrolysis process to produce low-
lactose products, the inhibition action of the
hydrolysis products to the hydrolytic activity of the
enzyme can be effectively removed, so that the
hydrolysis reaction is thoroughly carried out and the hydrolysis efficiency is improved; and when the heat-resistant beta-galactosidase (BgaB)
mutant (BgaB-F341T) is used to replace medium-temperature
lactase, the low-temperature hydrolysis process of low-
lactose milk can be innovated. The hydrolysis temperature can be set at 55-60 DEG C, at the temperature, not only is the hydrolysis
reaction speed high, but also common impure
bacteria in the milk has stopped growing, therefore the product
hygiene and quality problems caused by impure bacterial
contamination can be effectively controlled; and in addition, by the high-temperature hydrolysis process using the heat-resistant
lactase, the
lactose hydrolysis and
pasteurization processes can be combined, not only is the
production cycle shortened, but also the
energy consumption is reduced by taking full use of the
waste heat from the
pasteurization process, thus significantly saving production cost.
