Characterization of Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) using multi-detector size-exclusion chromatography
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Whey protein Isolate is of high nutritional value, and has become an important source of functional ingredients in various health-promoting foods. It is widely used in infant formula to provide a natural source of amino acids for optimal growth and development, and is also often used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the food industry. WPI is also popular among athletes because of its ability to be digested very rapidly and help return the post-workout body back from a catabolic state to an anabolic state. It has been reported that WPI may possess anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer properties.

Screening of whey protein isolate hydrolysates for their dual functionality: influence of heat pre-treatment and enzyme specificity.
Heat pre-treated and non heat pre-treated whey protein isolate (WPI) were hydrolysed using α-chymotrypsin (chymotrypsin), pepsin and trypsin. The in vitro antioxidant activity, ACE-inhibition activity and surface hydrophobicities of the hydrolysates were measured in order to determine if peptides with dual functionalities were present. Dual functional peptides have both biological (e.g. antioxi...

متن کاملEffect of UV irradiation on the properties of whey protein solutions treated using a novel UV light reactor
The objective of this study was to investigate the structural changes of whey proteins in solution during continuous flow through a novel UV reactor that was designed to minimize poor UV penetration and heterogeneous UV dose distribution. Varying UV irradiation doses were obtained by controlling the flow rate and the mixing speed of the liquid through the reactor. Aqueous solutions of whey prot...
متن کاملEffects of protein concentration and oil-phase volume fraction on the stability and rheology of menhaden oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by whey protein isolate with xanthan gum
The influences of protein concentration (0.2, 1, 2wt%) and oil-phase volume fraction (5%, 20%, 40% v/v) on emulsion stability and rheological properties were investigated in whey protein isolate (WPI)-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions containing 0.2wt% xanthan gum (XG). The data of droplet size, surface charge, creaming index, oxidative stability, and emulsion rheology were obtained. The result...
متن کاملProperties of Cast Films Made from Different Ratios of Whey Protein Isolate, Hydrolysed Whey Protein Isolate and Glycerol
Whey protein isolate (WPI)-based cast films are very brittle, due to several chain interactions caused by a large amount of different functional groups. In order to overcome film brittleness, plasticizers, like glycerol, are commonly used. As a result of adding plasticizers, the free volume between the polymer chains increases, leading to higher permeability values. The objective of this study ...
