Whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) is now considered as an important and special dairy protein ingredient for its nutritional and functional properties. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effect of environmental relative humidity (RH) and storage temperature on the physicochemical stability of three WPH powders with hydrolysis degrees (DH) of 5.2%, 8.8% and 14.9%, respectively. The water sorption isotherms of the three WPH powders fitted the Guggenheim-Andersson-DeBoer model well. An increase in water content leaded to a decrease in glass transition temperature (Tg), following a linear Tg vs log water content relationship. Moreover, an increase in DH caused the decrease in Tg at the same water content. Changes in microstructure and colour occurred significantly when the WPH powders were stored at high environmental RH or temperature, especially for those with high DH.

Background/objectives: Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding glycoprotein with multiple bioactivities, including promotion of cell proliferation and differentiation, immunomodulation, and antimicrobial activity. Lf, a basic glycoprotein, can bind to α-lactalbumin (α-Lac), an acidic whey protein. The current study aimed to evaluate whether Lf forms protein complexes with α-Lac and proteins/peptides from whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) and nonfat bovine milk powder (MP) and whether forming protein complexes influences resistance to gastrointestinal digestion and affects the bioactivities of Lf in human intestinal epithelial cells (HIECs and differentiated Caco-2 cells).

The amino acid (AA) content of multiple samples of various dairy powders was determined, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the differences in AA profiles attributable to distinct manufacturing processes. Products examined included whole milk powder (WMP), skim milk powder (SMP), cheese whey protein concentrate (WPC-C), lactic acid casein whey protein concentrate (WPC-L), high-fat whey protein concentrate (WPC-HF), hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate (WPH), whey protein isolate (WPI), and demineralized whey protein (D90). WMP and SMP exhibited broadly similar AA profiles, with minor differences likely due to the minimal milk fat protein content, which is nearly absent from SMP.

Background: Spray-drying is considered a promising alternative drying method to lyophilization (freeze-drying) for therapeutic proteins. Particle counts in reconstituted solutions of dried solid dosage forms of biologic drug products are closely monitored to ensure product quality. We found that high levels of particles formed after reconstitution of protein powders that had been spray-dried under suboptimal conditions.

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used in the treatment of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), and the toxicity of GCs to aquatic organisms has aroused widespread concern. Powdered activated carbon (PAC) has proven effective in removing various trace organic pollutants. In this study, the adsorption behaviors of 20 typical GCs onto PACs were investigated at environmentally relevant concentrations (ng/L) in real wastewater, using four commercially available PACs (HDB, WPH, 20BF, PWA).

Unlabelled: A coarse canola oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion (dispersed mass fraction 0.1) was prepared by adding oil to whey protein hydrolysate (WPH)-citric pectin (CP) soluble complex (1% total biopolymer weight; WPH to CP mass ratio 6:1; pH 4.25) aqueous phase using a high shear homogenizer (4000 rpm, 2 min).
