Dietary fiber is a group of important food polysaccharides, which may improve gastrointestinal function and alter the bioavailability and nutritional value of other food components. The interaction mechanism of psyllium fiber (PSY) and whey protein (WP) and the influence on the characteristics of polysaccharides and protein were investigated. The results of circular dichroism spectra and differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that PSY could protect WP by increasing its melting temperature. The textural profiles implied that WP could improve the edibility of the psyllium fiber. The IR spectrum and colorimetric assay indicated the product of Maillard reaction between psyllium and whey protein with the heating condition. The SEM showed that the structure of the mixture became stronger with higher temperature. Furthermore, the mixture with the ratio of WP/PSY as 1:2 had three times of the bile acid binding ability of PSY, which could be developed as a nutraceutical additive with prevention of hyperlipidemia.

Oral intake of degalactosylated whey protein increases peripheral blood telomere length in young and aged mice.

In order to elucidate novel actions of degalactosylated whey protein (D-WP) in comparison with intact whey protein (WP), the effects of oral intake of D-WP on peripheral blood telomere length and telomerase were examined in young and aged mice. In young mice, peripheral blood telomere length was significantly elongated following oral intake of D-WP for 4 weeks. mRNA expression of both telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and telomerase RNA component (TERC) was significantly increased in the peripheral blood following oral intake of D-WP for 4 weeks.

Egg sausages, an essential component of traditional Chinese hot pot cuisine, have specific storage requirements and are predominantly distributed through refrigerated channels. A significant consideration in the freezing of egg sausages pertains to syneresis and textural modifications that manifest in the protein gel structure upon thawing. This research investigated the efficacy of incorporating whey protein isolate, soy protein isolate (at concentrations of 0.

In this research, the emulsification method was used to encapsulate in microparticles of whey protein concentrate (WPC) at different levels (1%, 2%, and 4%) and gum Arabic (GA) at three levels (0/5%, 1%, and 1/5%) and a constant level of sunflower oil (5%). The results showed that emulsions with higher quantities of wall materials exhibited better encapsulation efficiency (67%/57%) and preservation ability at different temperatures, different pH, and presence of 1% bile salt. During the storage time, the droplet size of the emulsion increased more than two times (from 2.

Molecular characteristics of emulsifiers such as their molecular weight (MW) and surface charge, not only affect the stability of the emulsion but also can have an impact on its capacity to either inhibit or promote microbial proliferation. These characteristics can affect the behavior of pathogens such as Typhimurium in emulsion systems. The growth and thermal resistance of .
