Description du sujet
When processing whey and lactose-free dairy products, the dairy industry produces large quantities of lactose. The bioconversion of lactose into lactobionic acid can transform this by-product into a high value-added ingredient. Recently, we demonstrated the possibility of using electrodialysis with bipolar membrane (EDMB) to produce lactobionic acid which has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Hence, this project is part of a vast research project aiming a valuation of bio-food co-products and the development of eco-efficient processes (VITALE Consortium), through innovative and sustainable approaches based on electromembrane processes.
The objectives of this project are:
1) Determine the hydrolysis conditions by lactose oxidase allowing optimal production of lactobionate from lactose recovered after concentration by nanofiltration of acid whey before its deacidification by electrodialysis;
2) Produce lactobionic acid by electrodialysis with bipolar membranes (EDBM) under pulsed electric field (PEF) and evaluate the effectiveness of the process, including membrane fouling;
3) Develop a machine learning and/or biostatistical model predictive and/or explanatory of the impact of PEFs on the migration of lactobionic acid;
4) Study the bioactivity(s) of lactobionic acid.
