| Research Abstract |
Low-phenylalanine (Phe) milk with amino acids as a nitrogen source is currently in common use for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU), however, more than a few of the patients with PKU dislike these special dietary products because of the bad taste and odor peculiar to some of the amino acids contained in them. The aim of our study is that a more palatable and dietric milk is prepared by using a low-Phe peptide as a protein source, because it has been reported that peptides do not have the unpleasant odor and are more easily aborbed.
Whey protein was used as the protein source. Pepsin was used to obtain the peptide containing phenylalanine (Phe) as the C-terminal and carboxypeptidase was used to shorten the peptide chain and to remove the Phe terminal. The hydrolysate was fractionated by a cellulofine GH-25m or charcoal column to obtain the low Phe peptides. Low-Phe peptide (LPP) milk was made at Yukijirushi (Snow Bland) Milk Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Thirty-two normal healthy subjects

and 12 children with PKU aged 11 years or over reported that they found the product less palatable than ordinary powdered milk for infant feeding but the product more palatable than the milk formula with amino acid powders as the main constituent. On the other hand, PKU children aged 3-10 years who had long been on amino acid-based milk formulas for PKU had no liking for the LPP-milk simply because they had gotten used to the taste and odor peculiar to amino acid powders. They could set used to the LPP product as well, chould they be placed on it early enough in life. Actually, both LPP-milk and low-Phe milk with amino acid mixture are acceptable to PKU infants aged 2 years or less because their sense of taste is still immature. Finally, LPP-milk has been used on 6 infants with PKU and a normally developed female PKU, who wants to become pregnant, for more than a year with great effectiveness in reducing the the serum Phe concentrations. Diarrhea is less frequent in the infants on LPP-milk than those on milk with amino acid mixture because the former has a lower osmolality than later. Less
