Vitamin D(3) was entrapped in whey protein isolate (WPI) nanoparticles prepared by different calcium concentration and aggregation pH. Its stability was investigated in presence of air for 7days. Residual of vitamin D(3) in nanoparticles was higher compared to control samples (water, native WPI and denaturized WPI). Presence of calcium in composition of particles resulted in formation of compact structure and inhibition of oxygen diffusion in particle. Lower concentration of vitamin D(3) (280μg/ml versus 560μg/ml) had negative effect on residual amount of vitamin. The loss of vitamin D(3) during storage time was described by a second order reaction. The results illustrate that these nanoparticles can be used in clear or non clear beverages as enriching agent.

α-Dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs) generated from carbohydrates play a key role in food quality and safety as precursors. Lactose contributes to α-DCs generation in dairy products; however, α-DCs with intact lactose carbons have not been investigated so far. This study aimed to identify lactose-derived α-DCs, clarify the mechanism of its formation using model incubations, and investigate the distribution and contents of α-DCs in dairy products.

Blueberry anthocyanins (ACNs) have been widely applied in the food industry and medicine due to their numerous beneficial properties. However, the stability of ACNs is extremely poor. This study aimed to develop a delivery system for ACNs using nanocomplexes prepared from gellan gum (GG) and whey protein isolate (WPI) via Maillard reaction.

The gastric digestion behavior of different commercial Stage 1 infant formulae (for 0-6 months) with different formulation backgrounds was investigated using an dynamic infant human gastric simulator (iHGS). The microstructural arrangements of the protein and lipid, colloidal stability and protein hydrolysis during digestion were elucidated. During gastric digestion, casein-dominant formulations showed a higher extent of aggregation due to their high proportion of casein micelles that underwent coagulation upon acidification and via the action of pepsin.

The intricate interactions between stevioside (STE) and milk protein (mixtures of whey protein isolate and sodium caseinate, WPI/SC) as well as interfacial stabilization mechanisms were investigated. At the molecular scale, it was observed that the incorporation of the steviol hydrophobic skeleton enhanced the surface hydrophobicity of WPI/SC (from 1560.73 to 2175.

This study investigates the impact of conjugating whey protein (WP) with modified starch (MS), utilizing the Maillard reaction, on the characteristics of low-fat breakfast cream. The combination of WP and MS is significant due to its potential to improve the nutritional profile and textural attributes of low-fat dairy products, in response to consumer demand for healthier options. Various cream formulations were prepared with different ratios and concentrations of WP-MS conjugates, and their texture, water holding capacity, and sensory attributes were systematically analyzed.
