The Rehydration Ability of Whey Ingredients

The purpose of this research was to studythe ability of whey protein concentrates (WPC) and whey permeate produced with ultrafiltration of cheese whey to rehydrate. The products studied were cheese whey concentrate witha PDM percentage of 80% (WPC-80), and cheese whey permeate, both produced under the conditions of the PJSC Dairy “Voronezhsky”.WPC-80 and the whey permeate dissolution processes were studied using microscopy. Water-impermeable hydrophobic layers were formed at the boundary, preventing water penetration into dry particles. The result was a higher dissolution timeforWPC-80 compared with whey permeate. When WPC-80 came into contact with water,it initially formed an obtuse wetting angle with a slow change over time. Whey permeate reached the equilibrium wetting angle more quickly. Quickreconditioning of WPC moisture content required avoiding capillary penetration of water, which created a turbulent liquid flow. The application of these ingredients in different food industry areas can reduce the costs for finished products, contribute to cost-effectiveness, increase the total production, and reduce environmental risks.

Introduction. Contemporary food industry strives to increase the production volume of high-quality and biologically complete protein products. The Foodnet market also raised the demand for functional foods in Russia. The research objective was to develop a new functional curd product fortified with probiotic microflora. Study objects and methods. The study featured cow’s milk, skimmed milk, cream, whey protein concentrate Milkiland-WPC 80, pollen, glutamine, starter cultures DVS Danisco Probat 576 and Howaru Bifido ARO-1, buckwheat flour, and oat flour. The experiment included physicochemical, sensory, biochemical, and microbiological methods. Results and discussion. The milk-protein base of the curd product was produced in a GEA Westfalia KDB 30 curd separator. The research involved 15 and 20% cream with two different starter cultures. In case of 15% cream, Probat 576 Howaru Bifido appeared to be 1.66 times more active than ARO-1 Howaru Bifido, in case of 20% cream the result was even higher – 1.73 times. Probat 576 also demonstrated a better active acidity, i.e. 5.5 after three hours, which was two hours faster than ARO-1. Mathematical modeling revealed the positive effect of buckwheat and oat flour on the cream fermentation process. Oat flour (5%) was the optimal prebiotic, while buckwheat flour added its color to the final product, thus spoiling its market quality. Conclusion. The new biotechnology for a curd product fortified with probiotic cultures can expand the range of functional products for sports diet.

Physicochemical quality of low fat mayonnaise using whey protein concentrate

Low fat mayonnaise as a low-calorie product modification has low emulsion stability. Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) has a high protein content and can act as a good emulsifier for emulsion of mayonnaise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate of a low-fat mayonnaise using WPC based on pH, moisture content, viscosity, and protein content. The materials used are egg yolk, sunflower seed oil, vinegar, WPC, and other complementary materials. This study used a laboratory experiment with a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment using control treatment without additional use of WPC and treatments using WPC as much as 5%, 10%, and 15% of the total oil use. The variables measured were pH, moisture content, viscosity, and protein. The results showed that the use of WPC in mayonnaise gave significantly different on pH, moisture content, viscosity, and protein content. The conclusion of this research that the use of WPC as much as 15% produces the best low fat mayonnaise.

A Comprehensive Review on the Interaction of Milk Protein Concentrates with Plant-Based Polyphenolics

Functional properties and biological activities of plant-derived polyphenolic compounds have gained great interest due to their epidemiologically proven health benefits and diverse industrial applications in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Moreover, the food processing conditions and certain chemical reactions such as pigmentation, acylation, hydroxylation, and glycosylation can also cause alteration in the stability, antioxidant activity, and structural characteristics of the polyphenolic compounds. Since the (poly)phenols are highly reactive, to overcome these problems, the formulation of a complex of polyphenolic compounds with natural biopolymers is an effective approach. Besides, to increase the bioavailability and bioaccessibility of polyphenolic compounds, milk proteins such as whey protein concentrate, sodium caseinate, and milk protein concentrate act as natural vehicles, due to their specific structural and functional properties with high nutritional value. Therefore, milk proteins are suitable for the delivery of polyphenols to parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, this review reports on types of (poly)phenols, methods for the analysis of binding interactions between (poly)phenols–milk proteins, and structural changes that occur during the interaction.

Optimizing nanoencapsulation of Heracleum Lasiopetalum by response surface methodology

This study was carried out to optimize formulation for Heracleum Lasiopetalum (golpar) extract nanoencapsulation by response surface methodology (RSM). The primary emulsion was fabricated by (5-10 %) golpar extract (GE), (40-35 %) emulsifier span 80 (EM), and (50-60 %) sunflower oil (SO). The coating materials of nanoencapsulation were the composition of Lepidium sativum seed gum (LSG) and whey protein concentrate (WPC) at different ratios (1:0, 1:1, and 0:1). The yield of nanoencapsulation of golpar extract, particle size, and zeta potential was investigated as responses of RSM. The optimal formulation for nanoencapsulation of golpar extract were SO: 50.46%, GE 9.52%, and EM: 36.30% in LSG, SO: 57.07%, GE: 7.12%, and EM: 30.85% in LSG:WPC, and SO: 54.98%, GE: 9.05%, and EM: 39.87% in WPC coating. In conclusion, the nanoencapsulation of golpar extract prepared with the optimized formulation by RSM ensures the gradual release and sedimentation during storage with nanometric size and high yield of encapsulation. The nanocapsules of golpar extract can be used as a natural antioxidant in food systems.

Development technologyof yogurt with coffee

Formulations of yogurt flavored with coffee with a sugar content of 4 and 6 % and instant coffee Nescafe Gold in the amount of 0.5, 0.7 or 0.9 % were developed. The possibility of including in the formulation of low-fat yogurts protein enrichments, namely dry whey protein concentrate WPC 80 Milkiland in the amount of 1.5 %. A five-point scale has been developed to assess the organoleptic characteristics of new types of yogurt. It was found that the score of the consistency of the samples differed and decreased with increasing coffee content from 0.5 to 0.9 %. The sugar content did not affect the consistency, but higher taste scores were obtained with coffee-flavored samples with the addition of 5 % sugar compared to 4 %. Yogurts with 0.7 % coffee and 4 % sugar and both yogurts with 0.9 % coffee had the lowest scores compared to other yogurt samples. Changes in titratable acidity during yogurt fermentation and during storage were studied. It was found that the highest rate of increase of titratable acidity was registered for sample 3, which at 4 h of fermentation reached 98 °T compared to others, which is explained by the content of 2.2–4.5 % chlorogenic acid and other organic acids in instant coffee. It was found that lactic acid accumulated during storage of yogurts with coffee. On the first day of storage, its content ranged from 0.135–0.200 %, and on the 15th day increased to 1.22–1.42 %. Such changes are natural, because lactic acid is a product of lactic acid microflora metabolism during lactose fermentation. It was investigated that the active acidity at the end of fermentation was 4.56 units. pH against control – 4.72 units. pH and had a higher rate of decline compared to control. This can be explained by the mass fraction of lactose, which in the whey protein concentrate is 36 %. Also, this protein enrichment contains a large number of carboxyl groups, which increases the acidity of the clot and the finished product. All test samples were found to have better rheological properties due to the use of 1.5 % whey protein concentrate and sugar in the formulations. The parameters of technological operations in the production of yogurt with coffee are substantiated.

Infestations as a Natural Disaster: The Economic Impacts of the Fonterra Whey Protein Concentrate Contamination Incident

<p>This paper presents the results from an investigation into the economic implications for New Zealand of the 2013 Whey Protein Concentrate contamination incident (popularly known as the Fonterra Botulism scare). It assesses the impact of this incident to dairy exports using synthetic control methods. A synthetic counterfactual scenario where the incident did not occur is developed using weighted averages of the dairy exports of countries unaffected by the scare. The research finds that there was an initial negative shock to the exports of products that were thought to have been contaminated, but that there were no significant sustained impacts on other dairy products. The affected products make up only a small proportion of New Zealand dairy exports, with the vast majority of dairy exports being unaffected products. Infant formula exports appear to have recovered somewhat in the long run, however whey product exports remain lower than they otherwise would have been.</p>
