The Effect of High-Pressure Microfluidization Treatment on the Foaming Properties of Pea Albumin Aggregates.

The effect of dynamic high-pressure treatment, also named microfluidization, on the surface properties of thermal pea albumin aggregates (AA) and their foaming ability was investigated at pH 3, 5, and 7. The solubility of albumin particles was not affected by the increase in microfluidization pressure from 70 to 130 MPa. Particle charge depended only on the pH, whereas protein surface hydrophobicity was stable at pH 5, decreased at pH 3, but increased at pH 7 after microfluidization treatment and with the applied pressure.

Drying method determines the structure and the solubility of microfluidized pea globulin aggregates.

The effects of microfluidization and drying method on the characteristics and techno-functional properties of pea (Pisum sativum L.) globulin aggregates were investigated. Pea globulin aggregates were microfluidized at 130 MPa and spray-dried or freeze-dried thereafter.

The foaming properties of camel and bovine whey: The impact of pH and heat treatment.

The effect of heat treatment (70°C or 90°C for 30min) on the foaming and interfacial properties of acid and sweet whey obtained from bovine and camel fresh milk was examined. The maximum foamability and foam stability were observed for acid whey when compared to sweet whey for both milks, with higher values for the camel whey. This behavior for acid whey was explained by the proximity of the pI of whey protein (4.
