We will use a new technology called high hydrostatic pressure-enzymatic hydrolysis (HHP EH) to convert phosvitin from egg yolk residue into a valuable ingredient for natural foods and calcium supplements. Phosvitin is a protein from egg yolk with 120 different binding sites for calcium, making it an excellent calcium carrier. Using HHP EH, we will cut phosvitin into smaller pieces (peptides) that still bind large amounts of calcium. These calcium carrier peptides may provide more available calcium to people when they are added to food products or taken in capsules as calcium supplements. The HHP EH technology is proven, but we must still optimize the processing conditions for phosvitin. The HHP EH processor mixes water, phosvitin and enzymes in a process like human digestion. We can control the pressure in the processor, the temperature, and the incubation time. We aim to find the optimal conditions to cut phosvitin into smaller peptides that bind the most calcium. Our research in this project will supply the required optimized HHP EH parameters and lead to a prototype commercial system. Our central commercial and economic outcomes are to supply food products based on HHP EH peptides to substantial and rapidly growing global markets. Our research will diversify Canadian agriculture by boosting demand for waste yolk from egg processing, and eventually for other low-value and underused animal products.

我们将使用一种名为高静水压酶解（HHP EH）的新技术将蛋黄渣中的磷维素转化为天然食品和钙补充剂的宝贵成分。磷维素是一种来自蛋黄的蛋白质，它有120个不同的钙结合位点，是一种很好的钙载体。使用HHP EH，我们将把光维素切成更小的片段（肽），这些片段仍然能结合大量的钙。当这些钙载体肽被添加到食品中或作为钙补充剂胶囊服用时，可能会为人们提供更多可用的钙。HHP EH技术已经得到了验证，但我们仍然需要优化光维素的加工条件。HHP EH处理器在类似人类消化的过程中将水、磷素和酶混合在一起。我们可以控制处理机的压力，温度和孵育时间。我们的目标是找到最佳条件，将磷维素切割成更小的肽，结合最多的钙。我们在这个项目中的研究将提供所需的优化HHP EH参数，并导致一个原型商业系统。我们的核心商业和经济成果是为大量快速增长的全球市场提供基于HHP EH肽的食品。我们的研究将通过增加对鸡蛋加工过程中产生的废蛋黄的需求，并最终增加对其他低价值和未充分利用的动物产品的需求，使加拿大农业多样化。
