5. Since no natural protein sources with these characteristics are
available, patients forced to take defined amino acid mixtures
6. Although synthetic amino acid mixtures are used in the dietary
management of hepatic patients, alternative supplies of enzymatic
protein hydrolysates with suitable characteristics are highly desired
7. To develop such hydrolysates, a complex strategy including the use
of specific proteases and post-hydrolysis processes to separate
peptides with an appropriate profile of amino acids is necessary
