The present invention relates to a method for producing a dairy product using an enzyme having lactase activity.
1 . A method for producing a dairy product comprising
a) providing a milk-based substrate comprising lactose; and
b) treating said substrate with an enzyme having lactase activity and having an amino acid sequence which is at least 70% identical to amino acids 28-1331 of SEQ ID NO: 2.
2 . A method for producing a dairy product comprising
a) providing a milk-based substrate comprising lactose; and
b) treating said substrate with an enzyme having lactase activity and having an amino acid sequence which is at least 70% identical to amino acids 28-1931 of SEQ ID NO: 1 or a fragment thereof.
3 - 24 . (canceled)
25 . A composition comprising a milk-based substrate an enzyme having lactase activity and having an amino acid sequence which is at least 70% identical to amino acids 28-1331 of SEQ ID NO: 2.
26 . The composition of claim 25 , wherein the milk-based substrate is milk or an aqueous solution of skim milk powder.
