Water Binding in Whey Protein Concentrates

Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Whey Protein Concentrates: Peptide HPLC Profiles

Hydrolysis of whey protein concentrates (WPCs) at different temperatures and pHs, using three enzymes: pepsin, trypsin, and Alcalase, was monitored during more than 5 hr by reversed phase HPLC/UV,

Impact of Ovine Whey Protein Concentrates and Clarification By-Products on the Yield and Quality of Whey Cheese

The effects of the addition of whey protein concentrates and clarification by-products obtained from ovine cheese whey and deproteinized whey (Sorelho) on the yield and quality of the whey cheese (Requeijão) have been evaluated. Whey protein concentrates were obtained by ultrafiltration of skimmed whey and Sorelho. The clarification by-products were obtained after the treatment of the skimmed w...

Optimization of Cheese Whey Ultrafltration/Diafltration for the Production of Beverage Liquid Protein Concentrates with Lactose Partially Removed

The processing of cheese whey pre-concentrated by reverse osmosis is carried out through ultrafiltration in diafiltration mode to produce whey protein concentrates with lower lactose content to be incorporated in beverages. The initial cheese whey protein and lactose contents are 2.13g/100g and 13.22g/100g, respectively.The commercial membranes, GR95PP, supplied by Alfa Laval, Denmark, we...

Effects of enzymatic hydrolysis on the allergenicity of whey protein concentrates.

Cow's milk whey consists of many protein components and some of them are antigens to human and known to modulate immune responses. Enzymatic hydrolysis is a useful method to modify proteins with allergenicity. The objective of this study was to identify whether the in vitro enzymatic hydrolysis could reduce the allergenicity of whey protein concentrates (WPC). In this study, WPC were hydrolyzed...
