Valorization of Cheese and Tofu Whey through Enzymatic Synthesis of Lactosucrose

Hydrolysates of sheep cheese whey as a source of bioactive peptides with antioxidant and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activities

Enzymatic proteolysis may be employed to release bioactive peptides, which have been investigated for potential benefits from both technological and human health perspectives. In this study, sheep cheese whey (SCW) was hydrolyzed with a protease preparation from Bacillus sp. P7, and the hydrolysates were evaluated for antioxidant and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitory activities. ...

Effect of Protease-loaded Nanoliposome Produced by Heating Method on Yield and Composition of Whey and Curd during the Production of Iranian Brined Cheese

Background and Objectives: Fast proteolysis of cheese in ripening process may lead to the premature attack of casein, release of the majority of enzymes into the whey, and loss of cheese composition from curd to whey. In this study, the effect of liposomal Flavourzyme on proteolysis of Iranian white brined cheese, as well as on the yield and composition of whey and curd was investigated. Mater...

Synthesis of prebiotic carbohydrates derived from cheese whey 1 permeate by a combined process of isomerization and 2 transgalactosylation 3 Running title : Synthesis of prebiotic carbohydrates from cheese whey

Whey upgrading by enzyme biocatalysis

Whey is a co-product of processes for the production of cheese and casein that retains most of the lactose content in milk. World production of whey is estimated around 200 million tons per year with an increase rate of about 2%/per year. Milk production is seasonal, so surplus whey is unavoidable. Traditionally, whey producers have considered it as a nuisance and strategies of whey handling ha...

Formation of heat-induced protein aggregates in milk as a means to recover the whey protein fraction in cheese manufacture, and potential of heat-treating milk at alkaline pH values in order to keep its rennet coagulation properties. A review

The heat-treatment of cheese milk, or whey, to denature the whey proteins has long been the most applied means of recovering these proteins, either directly in the cheese curd, or as added to the cheese milk prior to renneting. In heat-treated milk, the interaction of the denatured whey proteins with the casein micelles, however, limits the primary phase of the enzymatic reaction, and prevents ...
