Tea catechin role in decreasing the oxidation of dairy beverages containing linseed oil.

Dairy beverages containing emulsified linseed oil is a suitable vehicle for delivering polyunsaturated fatty acids to consumers. However, these beverages are prone to oxidation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding various concentrations (0, 0.

Encapsulation of hydrophobic aroma in whey protein nanoparticles.

Aroma-loaded nanoparticles (d < 300 nm) were prepared by cross-linking denatured whey protein through pH-cycling. The effect of nanoparticulation conditions and aroma concentration on the physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles and aroma release profile was studied. Better retention of aroma was observed when ethyl hexanoate was added before nanoparticle formation.

Effect of flaxseed lignans added to milk or fed to cows on oxidative degradation of dairy beverages enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Nutritional value is a priority in new product development. Using vegetable or marine oils, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, in dairy beverage formulations is an option to provide the consumers with healthier products. However, these formulations are prone to oxidation, which is responsible for rapid flavour degradation and the development of potentially toxic reaction products during storage.

Influence of dissolved gases and heat treatments on the oxidative degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids enriched dairy beverage.

The combined effect of dissolved gas composition and heat treatment on the oxidative degradation of a dairy beverage enriched with 2% linseed oil was studied. The dairy beverage was saturated with air, nitrogen, or a nitrogen/hydrogen mixture (4% hydrogen) before pasteurization or sterilization. Saturation with either nitrogen or a nitrogen/hydrogen mixture decreased the dissolved oxygen concentration in dairy beverages (Delta = 7.

Characterization of hydrophobic flavor release profile in oil-in-water emulsions.

An instrumental approach to better understand the release and persistence of flavor in oil-in-water emulsions has been developed. Emulsions were prepared with various whey protein (0.1% to 3.
