Food producers are coming under increasing pressure to reduce fat content of foods. Fat forms a major structuring component in many foods responsible for the desirable texture which rich fats. Consumers want healthier whilst maintaining sensory properties these and using ‘natural’ ingredients. In this work we present suspensions soft gelled protein particles produced by heating induced gelation...

Abstract The effect of caseinomacropeptide (CMP) on the heat-induced denaturation and gelation whey proteins (2.5–10%, w/v) at pH 6.4 7.2, a protein:CMP ratio 1:0.9 (w/w), was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), oscillatory rheology (90 °C for 20 min) confocal microscopy. Greater frequency-dependence in presence CMP suggested that repulsive interactions between affected ...

Whey protein gels prepared under acidic conditions (pH<4.6) remain largely unutilized because of their weak and brittle nature in contrast to the favorable elastic gels produced at neutral or basic conditions. However, such usage is important, as low pH food products are desirable due to their shelf stability and less stringent sterilization processes. In this study, we use a two-step process i...

Whey proteins are mainly a group of small globular proteins. Their structures can be modified by physical, chemical and other means to improve their functionality. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of radiation on proteinprotein interaction, microstructure, and microbiological properties of whey protein-water solutions. Whey protein isolate (WPI) solutions (27-36% prot...

Byproduct utilization is an important consideration in the development of sustainable processes. Whey protein isolate (WPI), a byproduct of the cheese industry, and gelatin, a byproduct of the leather industry, were reacted individually and in blends with microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) at pH 7.5 and 45 degrees C. When a WPI (10% w/w) solution was treated with mTGase (10 U/g) under reducing...

Protein isolate was recovered from whole gutted fish using isoelectric solubilisation/precipitation (ISP). The objective was to determine chemical properties of heat-set gels made of the ISP protein isolate fortified with ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)-rich oils (flaxseed, fish, algae, krill, and blend). The extent of the PUFAs increase, ω-6/ω-3 FAs and unsaturated/saturated FAs ratios...

This paper deals with the investigation of the impact of the heat treatment of reconstituted skim milk conducted at different temperatures, and the adding of demineralized whey on the protein solubility, soluble protein composition and interactions involved between proteins in a chemical complex. Commercial skim milk has been reconstituted and heat treated at 75°C, 85°C and 90°C for 20 minutes....
