Whey protein hydrolysates (WPH) were prepared from whey protein concentrate (WPC) by partial or extensive hydrolysis. WPC and two WPH types were characterized by a descriptive sensory analysis. WPC exhibited a "milky", "sweet", and "mild milk fat" odor, whereas extensively hydrolyzed whey protein (E-WPH) demonstrated "cheese-like", "acrid odor", and "sour" olfactory characteristics. In E-WPH, 3-(methylthio)-propanal, phenylacetaldehyde, and 3-methylbutanoic acid were specifically detected with high flavor dilution factors upon aroma extract dilution analysis. These odor-active compounds likely contributed to the olfactory characteristics of E-WPH, and their concentration increased together with that of their respective putative precursors: free methionine, phenylalanine, and leucine.

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.

The glycomacropeptide (GMP) present in the cheese whey byproduct can be an excellent antifreezing agent due to its unique molecular structure. The objective of this study was to concentrate this peptide and investigate its ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) ability. Heat denaturation of the non-GMP proteins and preparative liquid chromatography were used to create fraction 1 (F1) and fraction 2 (F2) and these were tested using the splat assay and a modified sucrose sandwich assay to investigate their IRI activity.

Background: Impacts of milk proteins (MPs) on inflammation are uncertain. The current systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluated the effects of whey protein (WP), casein protein (CP), or MP supplementation on serum levels of cytokines and adipokines in adults.
Methods: A comprehensive search of various online databases was conducted to find appropriate clinical trials published until September 2024.
