Effects of varying time/temperature-conditions of pre-heating and enzymatic cross-linking on techno-functional properties of reconstituted dairy ingredients

The effects of varying time/temperature-conditions of pre-heating and cross-linking with transglutaminase (TG) on the functional properties of reconstituted products from skim milk, WPC and sodium caseinate was analyzed. The degree of cross-linking (DC) of skim milk proteins could be increased from 54.4% to 70.5% by varying process conditions. Thereby the water-holding capacity (WHC) increased from 10% to 20%, while the heat stability decreased. The burning-on was lower than that of the non-treated products at optimum pre-heating conditions (90 °C/30 s). Using sodium caseinate as substrate for TG the DC increased from 39.2% to 100% due to the improvement of the process. As a result the WHC increased by 30% and the heat stability up to 380%. However, the burning-on of casein increased as well. TG-treated sodium caseinate started to gel at 10% protein, whereas untreated sodium caseinate gelled not before 15% protein. The WHC of enzyme-treated whey proteins was lowered. The heat stability of WPC could be doubled by TG-treatment, and the burning-on of the products was, especially at optimum pre-heating conditions, less pronounced. The degree of denaturation of TG-treated whey proteins was 2–5% higher than that of untreated samples.     

Influence of Xanthan–Curdlan Hydrogel Complex on Freeze‐Thaw Stability and Rheological Properties of Whey Protein Isolate Gel over Multiple Freeze‐Thaw Cycle

The effect of adding xanthan–curdlan hydrogel complex (XCHC) at 2 concentrations (0.25 and 0.5% w/w) on the freeze‐thaw stability of heat‐induced whey protein isolate (WPI) gel was investigated. Samples were stored at 4 °C for 24 h before subjected to 5 freeze‐thaw cycles alternating between ?16 °C (18 h) and 25 °C (6 h). Adding XCHC to the WPI solution resulted in the reduction of a significant amount of syneresis up to 5 repeated freeze‐thaw cycles. Addition of XCHC decreased the amount of syneresis from 45% in the control sample (pure WPI gel) to 31.82% and 5.44% in the samples containing 0.25% and 0.5% gum, respectively, after the 5th freeze‐thaw cycle. XCHC increased the storage modulus (G′) of the gels and minimized the changes of the G′ values over the 5 freeze‐thaw cycles, indicating improvement of the stability of the system. Furthermore, the minimum protein concentration for gel formation decreased in the presence of the XCHC. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that addition of XCHC resulted in the formation of a well‐structured gel with numerous small pores in the network, which consequently improved the water retention ability during the temperature abuses up to 5 freeze‐thaw cycles. These results have important implications for using XCHC in the formulation of the frozen WPI‐based products with improved freeze‐thaw stability and rheological properties.     

Preliminary observations on the effects of milk fortification and heating on microstructure and physical properties of stirred yogurt

The aim of this work was to study how milk fortification and heating affect yogurt microstructure (micellar characteristics, protein network) and physical properties (viscosity, water-holding capacity (WHC), and graininess). Milk was fortified with skim milk powder (control), whey protein concentrate (WPC), caseinate, or a mixture of caseinate and whey protein. Two heat treatments were applied, giving average whey protein denaturation levels of 58% and 77%. For caseinate-enriched yogurts, the heating effect was negligible. When milk was enriched with WPC, heating led to a high level of cross-linking within the gel network. Heating increased yogurt viscosity and WHC, but also graininess. When milk was fortified with a blend of WPC and caseinate giving a whey protein-to-casein ratio of 0.20, the yogurt viscosity was greatly improved, while graininess was kept low. The results show a relationship between micelle solvation and yogurt microstructure, as well as micelle size in milk base and yogurt graininess.     

Preliminary evaluation of endogenous milk fluorophores as tracer molecules for curd syneresis

A front-face fluorescence spectroscopy probe was installed in the wall of a laboratory-scale cheese vat. Excitation and emission filters were chosen for the selective detection of vitamin A, tryptophan, and riboflavin fluorescence. The evolution of the fluorescence of each fluorophore during milk coagulation and syneresis was monitored to determine if they had the potential to act as intrinsic tracers of syneresis and also coagulation. The fluorescence profiles for 2 of the fluorophores during coagulation could be divided into 3 sections relating to enzymatic hydrolysis of κ-casein, aggregation of casein micelles, and crosslinking. A parameter relating to coagulation kinetics was derived from the tryptophan and riboflavin profiles but this was not possible for the vitamin A response. The study also indicated that tryptophan and riboflavin may act as tracer molecules for syneresis, but this was not shown for vitamin A. The evolution of tryptophan and riboflavin fluorescence during syneresis followed a first-order reaction and had strong relationships with curd moisture and whey total solids content (r = 0.86-0.96). Simple 1- and 2-parameter models were developed to predict curd moisture content, curd yield, and whey total solids using parameters derived from the sensor profiles (standard error of prediction = 0.0005-0.394%; R² = 0.963-0.999). The results of this study highlight the potential of tryptophan and riboflavin to act as intrinsic tracer molecules for noninvasive inline monitoring of milk coagulation and curd syneresis. Further work is required to validate these findings under a wider range of processing conditions.

Effects of pH and ionic strength on the rheology and microstructure of a pressure-induced whey protein gel

The effects of pH and ionic strength (I) on the properties of a pressure-induced gel from a whey protein isolate (0.2 g mL^?1) were studied using a series of buffers with different pH and ionic strength (I). The rheological properties and water-holding capacity (WHC) of the gel changed in a complex pattern with pH and I but could be successfully modelled using an artificial neural network (ANN) model. The degree of cross-linking of S–S bonds was higher at pH 8.0 than at pH 5.0; consequently, a rigid gel was formed at alkaline pH values. The geometric dimensions of the microstructure decreased with increasing pH and decreasing ionic strength, and the WHC mainly depended on the geometric properties of the microstructure. These results indicate that pH and ionic strength influenced the gel properties by controlling the cross-linking reaction and phase separation that occur during gelation. They also confirmed the good potential application of ANN in studies of gelation.

Properties of Acidic Whey Protein Gels Containing Emulsified Butterfat

Changes in physical properties of whey protein gels following addition of emulsified fat were investigated. Gels were made by heating mixtures of dialyzed whey protein isolate at pH 4.60 with and without emulsified fat droplets. Addition of emulsified fat improved the gel-like qualities of these systems. Gel strength progressively increased upon addition of emulsified fat up to 30.00% by weight. Mean droplet size 1.85 km produced the greatest reinforcement of gel strength. Gels made with intermediate concentrations of protein were most sensitive to the effect. The elastic moduli and viscosities of whey protein gels at pH 4.60 increased with fat content, whereas syneresis decreased upon addition of fat.     

Effects of Polymerized Whey Proteins on Consistency and Water-holding Properties of Goat's Milk Yogurt

ABSTRACT The effects of polymerized whey proteins (PWP) on functional properties of goat's milk yogurt were investigated. PWP were prepared by heating whey protein isolate (WPI) dispersion (8.0% protein, pH 7.0) at 90 °C for 30 min. Three reconstituted goat milk (RGM) (12% total solids [TS] as control; RGM with 2.4% unheated WPI; and RGM with 2.4% PWP) and 1 RGM with 16.7% TS were prepared and inoculated with 0.04% yogurt starter culture. Inoculated milk was incubated at 43 °C for 5 h, cooled to 4 °C in an ice‐water bath, and then placed at refrigerator (4 °C) overnight before testing. Incorporation of PWP significantly (P < 0.001) increased the viscosity (by 80%) and decreased the syneresis (by 25%) of the yogurt samples, whereas addition of unheated WPI did not significantly affect the viscosity and syneresis compared with the control. There were no changes in pH, TS, ash, fat, protein, and lactose contents among yogurt samples except the solids fortified control. Yogurt with 16.7% TS had the lowest syneresis but did not improve in viscosity. Transmission electron microscopy micrographs demonstrated that the microstructure of the goat's milk yogurt gel with PWP was denser than the control. Results of this study indicate that polymerized whey proteins may be a novel protein‐based thickening agent for improving the functional properties of goat's milk yogurt and other similar products.     

Decreased gelling and emulsifying properties of myofibrillar protein from repeatedly frozen-thawed porcine longissimus muscle are due to protein denaturation and susceptibility to aggregation

The effects of freeze–thaw cycles (FT, 0, 1, 3 and 5 times) on protein functional properties of porcine longissimus muscle were investigated. FT increased gapping between muscle fibres and tore muscle fiber bundles. Myofibrillar protein (MP) isolated from FT muscle showed an increased hydrophobicity (P < 0.05), reduced thermal transition temperatures (T_max) and enthalpy of denaturation (ΔH) (P < 0.05), and enhanced susceptibility to thermal aggregation. These structural changes resulted in major losses in protein functionalities, e.g., 41–43% reductions (P < 0.05) in MP emulsifying capacity and emulsion stability after five FT cycles. The ability of MP to form a viscoelastic gel network, as analyzed by small-strain oscillatory rheological testing, also attenuated with FT cycles. The FT process lowered (P < 0.05) water-holding capacity (WHC), whiteness, and texture (hardness, springiness, chewiness and cohesiveness) of MP gels. Overall, repeated FT had a detrimental effect on the general functionality of porcine MP, and protein denaturation and aggregation were implicated in the functionality losses.     

Evaluation of Alternative Methods to Increase Calcium Retention in Cottage Cheese Curd

The effect of several alternative methods including addition of rennet, addition of carrageenan and use of 2:1 (v/v) preconcentrated skim milk by ultrafiltration (UF) upon calcium retention, yield, composition and sensory properties of dry curd cottage cheese was investigated. Although each of the processing methods resulted in the manufacture of dry curd cottage cheese with different compositions and properties, none of them was satisfactory for increasing calcium retention. Added carrageenan bound additional whey proteins, added rennet interfered with curd syneresis and whey expulsion during cooking and use of UF preconcentrated skim milk resulted in an increase in yield, total solids and protein of the curd.

Rheological Properties of Mozzarella Cheese Filled with Dairy, Egg, Soy Proteins, and Gelatin

The Rheological behavior of mozzarella cheese filled with various proteins (whey protein, caseinate, egg white, soy protein isolate, gelatin) incorporated was determined by uniaxial compression at 10°C and the effect of temperature (10°C?60°C) by dynamic measurement. Mozzarella cheese with whey protein, caseinate, egg white, and soy protein isolate showed significant water retention during heating. Among the proteins, soy protein isolate induced the strongest gel network structure with mozzarella cheese. All proteins altered the viscoelastic properties of mozzarella cheese.     

Effects of various whey proteins on the physicochemical and textural properties of set type nonfat yoghurt

In this study, the changes during storage in the physicochemical, textural and sensory properties of nonfat yoghurts fortified with whey proteins, namely whey protein concentrates (WPC), whey protein isolates and whey protein hydrolysates, were investigated. Enrichment of nonfat yoghurt with the whey protein additives (1% w/v) had a noticeable effect on pH, titratable acidity, syneresis, water‐holding capacity, protein contents and colour values on the 14th day of storage (P < 0.01). The addition of whey proteins to the yoghurt milk led to increases in the hardness, cohesiveness and elasticity values, resulting in improved textural properties. The addition of WPC improved the texture of set‐type nonfat yoghurt with greater sizes in the gel network as well as lower syneresis and higher water holding capacity. This study suggests that the addition of whey protein additives used for fortification of yoghurt gave the best textural and sensory properties that were maintained constant during the shelf life.     

Citric acid cross-linking of heat-set whey protein hydrogel influences its textural attributes and caffeine uptake and release behaviour

Heat-induced whey protein gels were either pre-loaded with caffeine, then cross-linked with citric acid, or vice versa. Based on the results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the pre-loading then cross-linking procedure caused less cross-linkage formation than the cross-linking then caffeine loading (post-loaded) procedure. The latter also resulted in a firmer gel. The caffeine-to-protein ratio was approximately 8.5 μg mg⁻¹ in the non-cross-linked hydrogel; those of the caffeine-loaded then cross-linked and the cross-linked then caffeine-loaded hydrogels were 4.5 and 2.9 μg mg⁻¹, respectively. Cross-linking decreased swelling of the freeze-dried gels upon subsequent rehydration. It also influenced the extent of caffeine release from the protein hydrogel. Pre-loaded and post-loaded samples retained ∼78% and ∼88%, respectively, of the entrapped caffeine after immersion in water for 4 h; the non-cross-linked gel retained <55% of the initially loaded caffeine. Caffeine loading decreased gel water-holding capacity; subsequent citric acid cross-linking increased water-holding capacity.     

Eating quality of low‐fat beef burgers containing fat‐replacing functional blends

Tapioca starch, carrageenan, oat fibre, pectin, whey protein and a commercial mixture of carrageenan and locust bean gum were assessed for their ability to mimic fat characteristics in cooked low‐fat (10%) beef burgers. Thirteen different blends of the ingredients were formulated in order to examine their effects on quality parameters of low‐fat beef burgers. The beef burgers were tested for cook yield, water‐holding capacity (WHC), retention of shape, sensory and mechanical texture analysis. Most blends significantly (P<0.05) increased both cook yield and WHC, in particular blends containing tapioca starch, oat fibre, whey protein and the carrageenan/locust bean gum mixture. These blends substantially reduced both Warner–Bratzler and Kramer shear values. Sensory analysis showed that beef burgers containing tapioca starch, oat fibre and whey protein were acceptable in terms of flavour and texture. The low‐fat control was found to be the toughest and driest of the beef burgers examined. This study shows that blends of these ingredients can be used to offset the poor quality associated with low‐fat beef burgers. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

Preparation of nanoparticles from denatured whey protein by pH-cycling treatment

Low temperature cross-linking of denatured whey protein through pH-cycling is proposed to develop nanoparticles with controlled size and properties. Soluble polymers were produced by heating whey protein dispersions at low ionic strength and neutral pH. Nanoparticulation was induced by acidification of diluted polymer dispersions followed by pH neutralization. The effect of aggregation conditions on the physicochemical characteristics and stability of nanoparticles was studied. Nanoparticles with a diameter ranging from 100 to 300 nm were produced depending on the pH of aggregation (5.0, 5.5, 6.0), the added calcium concentration (0, 2.5, 5 mM) and the ageing time at the aggregation pH (0–75 h). The size and the turbidity of nanoparticle dispersions increased with increasing ageing time and calcium concentration. Nanoparticle voluminosity decreased with increasing calcium concentration during pH-cycling, suggesting a more compact and less porous internal structure. The stability of nanoparticles in the presence of different dissociating buffers (EDTA, urea, SDS and DTT) was evaluated and the results showed that whey protein nanoparticles were covalently cross-linked by disulphide bonds.
