Whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) ingredients are commonly used in the manufacture of partially-hydrolysed infant formulae. The heat stability of these emulsion-based formulae is often poor, compared with those made using intact whey protein. The objective of this study was to improve the heat stability of WPH-based emulsions by conjugation of WPH with maltodextrin (MD) through wet heating. Emulsions stabilised by different protein ingredients, whey protein isolate (WPI), whey protein hydrolysate (WPH), heated WPH (WPH-H), and WPH conjugated with MD (WPH-C) were prepared and heat treated at 75°C, 95°C or 100°C for 15min. Changes in viscosity, fat globule size distribution (FGSD) and microstructure, evaluated using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), were used to monitor the effects of hydrolysis, pre-heating and conjugation on the heat stability of the emulsions. Heat stability increased in the order WPH

Background: Approximately 6.7 million people in the US are diagnosed with an Alzheimer's disease (AD), with greater incidence in women and minorities. Approximately 11 million family members provide uncompensated care to their family members with dementia, with more than 60% reporting high or very high levels of stress, a condition associated with increased risk for AD.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is referred as one of the most common causes of dementia and frailty. To address this impending public health crisis, there is a critical need to identify simple and reliable biomarkers for early AD diagnosis. Recent research has highlighted the potential utility of salivary lactoferrin (Lf) as a promising biomarker for AD diagnosis.

Despite the WHO recommendations in favor of breastfeeding, most infants receive infant formulas (IFs), which are complex matrices involving numerous ingredients and processing steps. Our aim was to understand the impact of the quality of the protein ingredient in IFs on gut microbiota and physiology, blood metabolites and brain gene expression. Three IFs were produced using whey proteins (WPs) from cheese whey (IF-A) or ideal whey (IFs-C and -D) and caseins, either in a micellar form (IFs-A and -C) or partly in a non-micellar form (IF-D).

In this study, the potential of using an emulsion gel based on whey protein concentrate (WPC) and pullulan (PUL) to encapsulate and deliver astaxanthin (AST) was investigated. PUL concentration was observed to affect the microstructure of WPC/PUL/AST emulsion gels, and the performance of emulsion gels was evaluated by encapsulation efficiency, simulated gastrointestinal digestion, storage stability, hardness, and water holding capacity tests. The WPC/PUL/AST emulsion gels had the highest encapsulation efficiency, gastrointestinal digestion retention, and bioaccessibility of (91.

Characterizing major bovine milk proteins, including whey and casein, is of significant interest in the dairy industry. The diverse array of protein proteoforms can be different in terms of genetic variation, breed ways, lactation stage, and animal nutritional status. Current routine methods for bovine milk protein profiling are typically based on immunological techniques, infrared spectroscopy, slab gel isoelectric focusing, capillary electrophoresis, and high-performance liquid chromatography.
