The acute and chronic effects of whey proteins on calcium metabolism and bone were evaluated. In acute studies, 8-week-old male rats were gavaged with 50 mg whey protein concentrate (WPC) and 25 mg calcium. 45Ca was administered intravenously or orally. Kinetic studies were performed, and femurs were harvested. Four of seven WPCs significantly increased femur uptake of 45Ca compared with controls. One WPC at 50 mg enhanced calcium absorption over a range of calcium Intakes from 35.1 ± 9.4% to 42.4 ± 14.0% (P < 0.01). Three of the most effective WPCs were tested further in a chronic feeding study. One hundred 3-week-old rats were randomly divided into four adequate dietary calcium (ADC; 0.4% Ca) groups (control of 20% casein and three WPC groups with 1% substitution of casein with each of three WPCs) and two low calcium (LC; 0.2% Ca) groups (control of 20% casein and one WPC group with 1% substitution of casein with one WPC). After 8 weeks, there was no effect of WPCs on femur uptake of 45Ca among ADC groups and there was no effect of WPCs on calcium retention, femur breaking force, femur bone mineral density, or total femur calcium at either dietary calcium intake. However, whole body bone mineral content (BMC) was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the three whey protein concentrate ADC groups compared with the ADC control group. Total BMC at the proximal tibia in whey protein ADC groups was increased, as shown by peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Our results indicate that the acute calcium absorption–enhancing effect of whey proteins did not persist through long-term feeding in rats. However, the initial enhancement of calcium absorption by whey protein was sufficient to Increase BMC.

The purpose of the work was to investigate the effect of whey proteins and dry whey concentrates on the change of titrated and active acidity during digestion. In order to stabilize the consistency in the production of low-fat yogurts, dry whey was selected that met the requirements of State Standard 4552:2006. It is used to improve the taste of finished products, to add flavor, to improve the texture, as well as to improve overall quality. In addition, dry whey protein concentrate WPC 80 Milkiland was used. The addition of whey protein concentrate does not detract from the organoleptic characteristics of a normalized mixture, which allows it to be used in yogurt technology. The addition of whey proteins has a significant effect on the duration of gel formation. Whey protein concentrate and dry whey reduce the duration of latent fermentation and flocculation stages. The data obtained allows us to predict that they accelerate the coagulation process. This effect is enhanced by increasing the dose of protein concentrates. Conducted coagulation of milk with a different dose and observed changes in titrated and active acidity during the fermentation. Yogurt culture YF-L903, which includes Streptococcus salivarius subsp., Thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrűeckii subsp. Bulgaricus were used for fermentation. The highest growth rate of titrated acidity is recorded for option 1 (0.5% dry sucrose) and controls that for 4 hours. the fermentation reached 80 °T. The highest rate of decline in active acidity is recorded in option 1 (0.5% dry sucrose serum). All samples for 4 hours of fermentation reached 4.65–4.72 units. pH. Thus, the acidity slightly increases with increasing the dose of serum protein concentrate and does not increase with the use of dry whey.

The effects of ruminant whey and its purified fractions on neutrophil chemotaxis and superoxide production in sheep were studied. Both colostral whey and milk whey were found to inhibit chemotaxis regardless of whether they were autologous or homologous, but the inhibitory effects were abolished by washing neutrophils with culture medium before their use in the chemotaxis assay. Colostral whey and milk whey also inhibited the chemotactic activity of zymosan-activated serum. Whey fractions of various degrees of purity such as lactoferrin, lacto-peroxidase, lactoferrin–lactoperoxidase, α-lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin and whey protein concentrate were then studied. While none of these proteins showed any effects on chemotaxis, lactoferrin–lactoperoxidase and whey protein concentrate were found to have an enhancing effect on superoxide production in a dose-dependent manner. Our results provide information on the modulatory role of ruminant milk proteins in inflammatory responses and warrant future investigation.

In the confectionery industry, egg whites are most often used as foaming agents. Other foaming agents, such as soy proteins, blood albumin, sugar beet extract, soap root extract, licorice root, have not found widespread use, since they do not meet the requirements for organoleptic characteristics. Recently, much attention has been paid by manufacturers to the use of milk proteins. The production of dairy products produces significant amounts of whey, which, despite its high nutritional value, is still underutilized in the food industry. The article is devoted to the study of the functional and technological properties of whey proteins, combined mixtures of whey protein concentrate and egg white. Theoretical information on the functional and technological properties of proteins is presented. The technological factors affecting foaming and foam stability are considered. When performing the research, the generally accepted and special research methods were used. The foaming capacity and stability of the protein foam were determined by the Rauch method. Surface tension was measured by the stalagmometric method. Determination of the structure and dispersion of protein foams was carried out using an electron microscope. The functional and technological properties of whey protein concentrate have been investigated. It was found that when whey proteins were used, the whipped masses had stable stability, which was provided by the increased ability of proteins to hydration, surface activity, the type of intermolecular interactions, as well as an increased denaturation temperature and the ability to form gels. Thus, the totality of the studies carried out shows the feasibility of further study and use of whey proteins when creating a new assortment of whipped candy masses.

Suitability of polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes (UFM) commercial designed for water treatment have been investigated for separation of protein (PR) from sweet whey. Ultrafiltration (UF) of whey originated from dairy has been realized by self-made pilot plant which has been in service about one year. Influence of two whey temperatures (9 oC and 30 oC) on efficiency of protein concentration has been examined. Application of investigated UF elements has given whey protein concentrate (WPC) with 5 to 6 times excess amount of protein content in regard to starting one. In the same time the prevalent content of lactose has been removed to permeate. Better results have been occurred during the cold whey filtration. Besides the fact that molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of investigated membranes were 50-100 kDa, results showed very successful concentrating of whey proteins of dominantly lower molar weights than 50-100 kDa. Investigated membranes are beneficial for design and construction of UF plants for exploitation in small dairies.

Whey is a highly polluting by-product of cheese processing. However, it has valuable nutritional properties since it is a rich and balanced source of proteins and amino acids. Therefore, it has a broad range of functional properties that can be exploited for diverse applications. Research has shown how the enzymatic hydrolysis of whey proteins releases bioactive peptides. In the present study, the hydrolysis of whey protein concentrate (WCP) was performed using purified Sporisorium reilianum aspartyl protease (Eap1), commercial enzymes chymotrypsin (C) and trypsin (T), as well as different enzymatic combinations in order to determine which enzyme or combination allowed for the release of peptides presenting the highest antioxidant and antihypertensive activity levels; our results indicated that hydrolysis with Eap1 releases the best-performing peptides in comparison with individual enzymes and their combinations.
