Article Synopsis
- Spray drying is a common method used to preserve bioactive ingredients and improve their storage stability, and this study investigated creating plant-based spray-dried powders using hemp, canola, and flax seed proteins combined with maltodextrin.
- The research assessed the oil-seed proteins' nitrogen solubility, emulsification, and foaming capabilities, along with analyzing the encapsulation process based on yield and efficiency.
- Results showed that the plant-based powders had a yield of 75.0% to 78.5% and efficiency levels of 58.4% to 77.5%, demonstrating that these powders have comparable characteristics to traditional whey protein powders, indicating the potential of oil-seed proteins in this application.
Although "zero waste" valorization concepts are gaining increasing attention, colostrum, a byproduct of milk production, remains underused due to technological challenges. Information about the fat fraction and the size of fat globules is needed to address these challenges, but such information is currently lacking. This study aimed to fill this gap in the knowledge by measuring the size distribution of bovine colostrum fat globules (CFG) and analyzing its relationships with postpartum milkings, parity, and fatty acids (FA) profile.
