| Abstract: | Milk fat globules (MFG) were reconstituted with milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and milk fat (MF). Viscosity of the reconstituted MFG was highest at pH 5.0 and 4 min emulsifying, and rose with an increase of MFGM between 40–80 mg/g fat. Adsorbed protein/unit fat increased at acid pH with increase of MFGM. The composition of proteins adsorbed on the surface of MFG was not influenced by factors of reconstitution. The size and specific surface area of globules were influenced by emulsifying time, MFGM and MF concentrations, and pH. The size range of MFG prepared by standard method was 0.9–17 μm in diameter. Median diameter was 5 μm and specific surface area was 15,600 cm2/cm3 of emulsion. |
