Protein–protein interactions of a whey–pea protein co-precipitate

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms behind protein–protein interactions in a co-precipitate of whey protein isolate (WPI) and pea protein isolate (PPI). A co-precipitate and blend, consisting of 80% WPI and 20% PPI, were compared. Covalent disulphide interactions were studied by blocking of free thiols with N-Ethylmaleimide (NEM), while electrostatic interactions were studied in systems with 0.5 m NaCl and hydrophobic interactions with 0.2% SDS. Protein solubility, stability and secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein structures were analysed. Co-precipitation did not introduce different protein–protein interactions than the direct blending of proteins. SDS affected solubility (P < 0.05), secondary and tertiary structure. However, the effects of NEM and NaCl were significant greater (P < 0.05) on the same parameters and thermal stability, especially when combined (P < 0.01). Thus, the protein–protein interactions in a whey–pea co-precipitate and protein blend consisted of disulphide bonds and electrostatic interactions.

Production of safflower protein isolates: Composition,yield and protein quality

The use of laboratory- and commercially-prepared safflower meal for the production of protein isolates is described. The isolates were obtained by micellisation and isoelectric precipitation techniques, the latter being the most efficient procedure. Previous treatments received by the meal, for example heating, influenced the protein recovery. In general, isolates produced by micellisation were more soluble than samples obtained by isoelectric precipitation. The colour of the protein isolates depended on the isolation technique and type of safflower meal utilised. All isolates had a similar amino acid composition and levels of in-vitro protein digestibility.

Short communication: Muscle protein synthetic response to microparticulated whey protein in middle-aged men

Whey protein concentrate (WPC) is a high-quality dairy ingredient that is often included in formulated food products designed to stimulate muscle anabolism. Whey protein concentrate can be affected by UHT processing, and its sensory properties are not compatible with some formulated food products. Microparticulated WPC (mWPC) is a novel ingredient that is resistant to heat treatment and has enhanced sensory properties. When 16 healthy middle-aged men consumed 20 g of either WPC or mWPC, both proteins increased plasma essential AA and leucine concentrations with no detectable difference in curve kinetics. Myofibrillar protein synthesis was increased in both groups for 90 min after ingestion with no difference between groups. Ingestion of mWPC resulted in a muscle anabolic response that was equivalent to that of WPC over the full 210-min measurement period. Formulated products incorporating mWPC or standard WPC would provoke equivalent anabolic responses.     

Solubility of commercial milk protein concentrates and milk protein isolates

High-protein milk protein concentrate (MPC) and milk protein isolate (MPI) powders may have lower solubility than low-protein MPC powders, but information is limited on MPC solubility. Our objectives in this study were to (1) characterize the solubility of commercially available powder types with differing protein contents such as MPC40, MPC80, and MPI obtained from various manufacturers (sources), and (2) determine if such differences could be associated with differences in mineral, protein composition, and conformational changes of the powders. To examine possible predictors of solubility as measured by percent suspension stability (%SS), mineral analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and quantitative protein analysis by HPLC was performed. After accounting for overall differences between powder types, %SS was found to be strongly associated with the calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and sodium content of the powders. The FTIR score plots were in agreement with %SS results. A principal component analysis of FTIR spectra clustered the highly soluble MPC40 separately from the rest of samples. Furthermore, 2 highly soluble MPI samples were clustered separately from the rest of the MPC80 and MPI samples. We found that the 900 to 1,200 cm⁻¹ region exhibited the highest discriminating power, with dominant bands at 1,173 and 968 cm⁻¹, associated with phosphate vibrations. The 2 highly soluble MPI powders were observed to have lower κ-casein and α-_S1-casein contents and slightly higher whey protein contents than the other powders. The differences in the solubility of MPC and MPI were associated with a difference in mineral composition, which may be attributed to differences in processing conditions. Additional studies on the role of minerals composition on MPC80 solubility are warranted. Such a study would provide a greater understanding of factors associated with differences in solubility and can provide insight on methods to improve solubility of high-protein milk protein concentrates.

Effect of processing methods and protein content of the concentrate on the properties of milk protein concentrate with 80% protein

In recent years, a large increase in the production of milk protein concentrates (MPC) has occurred. However, compared with other types of milk powders, few studies exist on the effect of key processing parameters on powder properties. In particular, it is important to understand if key processing parameters contribute to the poor solubility observed during storage of high-protein MPC powders. Ultrafiltration (UF) and diafiltration (DF) are processing steps needed to reduce the lactose content of concentrates in the preparation of MPC with a protein content of 80% (MPC80). Evaporation is sometimes used to increase the TS content of concentrates before spray drying, and some indications exist that inclusion of this processing step may affect protein properties. In this study, MPC80 powders were manufactured by 2 types of concentration methods: membrane filtration with and without the inclusion of an evaporation step. Different concentration methods could affect the mineral content of MPC powders, as soluble salts can permeate the UF membrane, whereas no mineral loss occurs during evaporation, although a shift in calcium equilibrium toward insoluble forms may occur at high protein concentration levels. It is more desirable from an energy efficiency perspective to use higher total solids in concentrates before drying, but concerns exist about whether a higher protein content would negatively affect powder functionality. Thus, MPC80 powders were also manufactured from concentrates that had 3 different final protein concentrations (19, 21, and 23%; made from 1 UF retentate using batch recirculation evaporation, a similar concentration method). After manufacture, powders were stored for 6 mo at 30°C to help understand changes in MPC80 properties that might occur during shelf-life. Solubility and foaming properties were determined at various time points during high-temperature powder storage. Inclusion of an evaporation step, as a concentration method, resulted in MPC80 that had higher ash, total calcium, and bound calcium (of rehydrated powder) contents compared to concentration with only membrane filtration. Concentration method did not significantly affect the bulk (tapped) density, solubility, or foaming properties of the MPC powders. Powder produced from concentrate with 23% protein content exhibited a higher bulk density and powder particle size than powder produced from concentrate that had 19% protein. The solubility of MPC80 powder was not influenced by the protein content of the concentrate. The solubility of all powders significantly decreased during storage at 30°C. Higher protein concentrations in concentrates resulted in rehydrated powders that had higher viscosities (even when tested at a constant protein concentration). The protein content of the concentrate did not significantly affect foaming properties. Significant changes in the mineral content are used commercially to improve MPC80 solubility. However, although the concentration method did produce a small change in the total calcium content of experimental MPC80 samples, this modification was not sufficiently large enough (<7%) to influence powder solubility.     

The role of sarcoplasmic protein in hydrostatic pressure-induced myofibrillar protein denaturation

To observe the role of sarcoplasmic protein (SP) on myofibrillar protein (MP) denaturation under a hydrostatic pressure (HP), MP isolated from bovine muscle was treated with 300 MPa by increasing concentrations of SP (0, 0.8, 1.6, and 3.2 mg/ml) from bovine. SDS-PAGE patterns of soluble proteins in 0.1M NaCl (pH 7.4) indicated that a protein (about 100 kDa) from MP decreased with increasing concentrations of SP and that a 97 kDa protein from SP observed with 0.1 MPa was not observed with 300 MPa. SDS-PAGE patterns of soluble proteins in 0.6 M NaCl (pH 7.4) and Ca-ATPase activity showed that the denaturation of myosin heavy chain (MHC) was accelerated with increasing SP concentrations with the 300 MPa treatment. Thus, the addition of SP enhanced HP-induced denaturation of MHC and of a protein from MP of about 100 kDa.

Two-Dimensional protein map of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Construction of a gene–protein index

This publication marks the beginning of the construction of a gene–protein index that relates proteins which are resolved on the two-dimensional protein map of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with their corresponding genes. We report the identification of 36 novel polypeptide spots on the yeast protein map. They correspond to the products of 26 genes. Together with the polypeptide spots previously identified, this raises to 41 the number of genes whose products have been identified on the protein map. The proteins identified here are concerned with four major areas of yeast cellular physiology: carbon metabolism, heat shock, amino acid biosynthesis and purine biosynthesis. Given the molecular weight and isoelectric point of the identified proteins, and the codon-usage bias of the corresponding genes, it can be estimated that 25 to 35% of all the soluble yeast proteins are detectable under the labelling and running gel conditions used in this study.

Effects of silage protein degradability and fermentation acids on metabolizable protein concentration: A meta-analysis of dairy cow production experiments

A meta-analysis was conducted using data from dairy cow production studies to evaluate silage metabolizable protein (MP) concentrations. The data consisted of 397 treatment means in 130 comparisons, in which the effects of silage factors (e.g., date of harvest, wilting, silage additives) were investigated. Within a comparison, a fixed amount of the same concentrate was fed. A prerequisite of data to be included in the analysis was that silage dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ammonia N, lactic acid (LA), and total acid (TA) concentrations and digestibility were determined. A smaller data set (n = 248) comprised studies in which silage water-soluble N concentration was also analyzed. The supply of MP was estimated as amino acids absorbed from the small intestine using a model with constant values for ruminal effective protein degradability (EPD) and intestinal digestibility of rumen undegraded protein. Microbial protein was calculated on the basis of digestible carbohydrates and rumen degradable protein (RDP). Alternative models were used to estimate microbial protein formation, assuming the energy values of RDP and TA to be equivalent to 1.00, 0.75, 0.50, 0.25, and 0 times that of digestible carbohydrates. Because EPD values are seldom determined in production trials, they were derived using empirical models that estimate them from other feed components. The goodness of fit of models was compared on the basis of root mean squared error (RMSE) of milk protein yield (MPY) predicted from MP supply (adjusted for random study effect) and Akaike's information criterion. Metabolizable protein supply calculated from basal assumptions predicted MPY precisely within a study (RMSE = 16.2 g/d). Variable contribution of RDP to the energy supply for microbial synthesis influenced the precision of MPY prediction very little, but RMSE for MPY increased markedly when the energy supply of rumen microbes was corrected for TA concentration. Using predicted rather than constant EPD values also increased RMSE of MPY prediction. These observations do not mean that the supply of MP from undegraded feed protein is constant. However, it suggests that our current methods overestimate the range in EPD values and that the techniques have so many inherent technical problems that they can mask the true differences between the feeds. Including new elements in feed protein evaluation models may not improve the precision of production response predictions unless the consequent effects on the supply of other nutrients are taken into account.     

Increasing the protein content of ice cream

Vanilla ice cream was made with a mix composition of 10.5% milk fat, 10.5% milk SNF, 12% beet sugar, and 4% corn syrup solids. None of the batches made contained stabilizer or emulsifier. The control (treatment 1) contained 3.78% protein. Treatments 2 and 5 contained 30% more protein, treatments 3 and 6 contained 60% more protein, and treatments 4 and 7 contained 90% more protein compared with treatment 1 by addition of whey protein concentrate or milk protein concentrate powders, respectively. In all treatments, levels of milk fat, milk SNF, beet sugar, and corn syrup solids were kept constant at 37% total solids. Mix protein content for treatment 1 was 3.78%, treatment 2 was 4.90%, treatment 5 was 4.91%, treatments 3 and 6 were 6.05%, and treatments 4 and 7 were 7.18%. This represented a 29.89, 60.05, 89.95, 29.63, 60.05, and 89.95% increase in protein for treatment 2 through treatment 7 compared with treatment 1, respectively. Milk protein level influenced ice crystal size; with increased protein, the ice crystal size was favorably reduced in treatments 2, 4, and 5 and was similar in treatments 3, 6, and 7 compared with treatment 1. At 1 wk postmanufacture, overall texture acceptance for all treatments was more desirable compared with treatment 1. When evaluating all parameters, treatment 2 with added whey protein concentrate and treatments 5 and 6 with added milk protein concentrate were similar or improved compared with treatment 1. It is possible to produce acceptable ice cream with higher levels of protein.     

Effects of milk protein variants on the protein composition of bovine milk

The effects of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), β-casein (β-CN), and κ-CN variants and β-κ-CN haplotypes on the relative concentrations of the major milk proteins α-lactalbumin (α-LA), β-LG, α_S1-CN, α_S2-CN, β-CN, and κ-CN and milk production traits were estimated in the milk of 1,912 Dutch Holstein-Friesian cows. We show that in the Dutch Holstein-Friesian population, the allele frequencies have changed in the past 16 years. In addition, genetic variants and casein haplotypes have a major impact on the protein composition of milk and explain a considerable part of the genetic variation in milk protein composition. The β-LG genotype was associated with the relative concentrations of β-LG (A » B) and of α-LA, α_S1-CN, α_S2-CN, β-CN, and κ-CN (B > A) but not with any milk production trait. The β-CN genotype was associated with the relative concentrations of β-CN and α_S2-CN (A² > A¹) and of α_S1-CN and κ-CN (A¹ > A²) and with protein yield (A² > A¹). The κ-CN genotype was associated with the relative concentrations of κ-CN (B > E > A), α_S2-CN (B > A), α-LA, and α_S1-CN (A > B) and with protein percentage (B > A). Comparing the effects of casein haplotypes with the effects of single casein variants can provide better insight into what really underlies the effect of a variant on protein composition. We conclude that selection for both the β-LG genotype B and the β-κ-CN haplotype A²B will result in cows that produce milk that is more suitable for cheese production.

Ready-to-drink protein beverages: Effects of milk protein concentration and type on flavor

This study evaluated the role of protein concentration and milk protein ingredient [serum protein isolate (SPI), micellar casein concentrate (MCC), or milk protein concentrate (MPC)] on sensory properties of vanilla ready-to-drink (RTD) protein beverages. The RTD beverages were manufactured from 5 different liquid milk protein blends: 100% MCC, 100% MPC, 18:82 SPI:MCC, 50:50 SPI:MCC, and 50:50 SPI:MPC, at 2 different protein concentrations: 6.3% and 10.5% (wt/wt) protein (15 or 25 g of protein per 237 mL) with 0.5% (wt/wt) fat and 0.7% (wt/wt) lactose. Dipotassium phosphate, carrageenan, cellulose gum, sucralose, and vanilla flavor were included. Blended beverages were preheated to 60°C, homogenized (20.7 MPa), and cooled to 8°C. The beverages were then preheated to 90°C and ultrapasteurized (141°C, 3 s) by direct steam injection followed by vacuum cooling to 86°C and homogenized again (17.2 MPa first stage, 3.5 MPa second stage). Beverages were cooled to 8°C, filled into sanitized bottles, and stored at 4°C. Initial testing of RTD beverages included proximate analyses and aerobic plate count and coliform count. Volatile sulfur compounds and sensory properties were evaluated through 8-wk storage at 4°C. Astringency and sensory viscosity were higher and vanillin flavor was lower in beverages containing 10.5% protein compared with 6.3% protein, and sulfur/eggy flavor, astringency, and viscosity were higher, and sweet aromatic/vanillin flavor was lower in beverages with higher serum protein as a percentage of true protein within each protein content. Volatile compound analysis of headspace vanillin and sulfur compounds was consistent with sensory results: beverages with 50% serum protein as a percentage of true protein and 10.5% protein had the highest concentrations of sulfur volatiles and lower vanillin compared with other beverages. Sulfur volatiles and vanillin, as well as sulfur/eggy and sweet aromatic/vanillin flavors, decreased in all beverages with storage time. These results will enable manufacturers to select or optimize protein blends to better formulate RTD beverages to provide consumers with a protein beverage with high protein content and desired flavor and functional properties.
