: This study examined the effect of whey protein consumption following high-intensity interval swimming (HIIS) on muscle damage, inflammatory cytokines and performance in adolescent swimmers. : Fifty-four swimmers (11-17 years-old) were stratified by age, sex and body mass to a whey protein (PRO), isoenergetic carbohydrate (CHO) or a water/placebo (HO) group. Following baseline blood samples (06:00 h) and a standardised breakfast, participants performed a maximal 200 m swim, followed by HIIS. A total of two post-exercise boluses were consumed following HIIS and ~5 h post-baseline. Blood and 200 m performance measurements were repeated at 5 h, 8 h and 24 h from baseline. Muscle soreness was assessed at 24 h. Creatine kinase (CK), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were measured in plasma. : No difference in 200 m swim performance was observed between groups. CK activity was elevated at 5 h compared to baseline and 24 h and at 8 h compared to all other timepoints, with no differences between groups. Muscle soreness was lower in PRO compared to HO ( = 0.04). Anti-inflammatory IL-10 increased at 8 h in PRO, while it decreased in CHO and HO. : Post-exercise consumption of whey protein appears to have no additional benefit on recovery indices following HIIS compared to isoenergetic amounts of carbohydrate in adolescent swimmers. However, it may assist with the acute-inflammatory response.

Technological properties of the furcellaran-whey protein isolate emulgels with various evening primrose oil concentration.

Int J Biol Macromol

December 2024

Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Food Technology, University of Agriculture, Balicka St. 122, PL-30-149 Cracow, Poland; Department of Product Packaging, Cracow University of Economics, Rakowicka 27, PL-31-510 Cracow, Poland. Electronic address:

Effect of different evening primrose oil content (1-20 %) on the rheological, mechanical, textural and microstructure of furcellaran/whey protein isolate emulsion gels were investigated at neutral, unmodified pH environment. The results indicate that, irrespective of the concentration, the oil acted as an inactive filler and was not chemically bound in the polymer network but only physically immobilized in it. The increasing oil amount in the material from 1 to 20 % resulted in a percentage decrease in hardness (52 %), gumminess (71 %) and stress relaxation ratio (17 %) which means that presence of the hydrophobic components weakens the structure of the material, but all samples exhibit elastic behaviour.

Article Synopsis
  • Whey protein contains allergenic proteins that affect its use in food products.
  • Current research investigates how processing methods, like polyphenol oxidase cross-linking, change the allergenicity of protein mixtures.
  • Findings show that mice consuming cross-linked whey protein exhibited more severe food allergies and intestinal injury, along with changes in immune cell composition and specific miRNA expressions, indicating potential biomarkers for milk allergy severity.

Article Synopsis
  • Whey protein is a nutritious animal protein, but its usefulness in food systems is limited by its sensitivity to environmental factors.
  • The study explores using radio frequency heating to couple whey protein with gum Arabic, significantly improving their functional properties compared to traditional water bath heating.
  • Results showed that the RF heating increased the glycosylation degree, enhancing emulsifying, foaming, and antioxidant qualities of the protein-gum conjugates.

This work elucidated the digestion behavior of low-oil phase Pickering emulsion gel (LOPPEG) stabilized by whey protein isolate (WPI) -γ-Oryzanol (γO) aggregated particles and interfacial adsorption properties of its simulated digestion products. Initially, following simulated digestion, WPI-γO LOPPEG exhibited lower free fatty acid release and protein digestibility compared to WPI LOPPEG. WPI-γO LOPPEG maintained lower interfacial tension and higher interfacial thickness than WPI LOPPEG.
