Hydrolysed milk proteins for dialysis procedures

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A medicinal composition, particularly but not exclusively for use in fluids for medical dialysis contains, as an agent, for maintaining the osmolality of the fluid a protein, hydrolysate resulting from the action of a proteolytic enzyme on the sodium caseinate fraction of milk protein. The enzyme is preferably trypsin but other proteolytic enzymes and enzyme mixtures may be used, examples being chymotrypsin pancreatin, and pronase. The method of production involves treating the sodium caseinate in aqueous medium with the enzyme at the appropriate pH and temperature for optimum enzyme activity. The product of the enzymic hydrolysis after filtration through, a bacterial filter adjustment of …
