Background: Whey protein supplements might be a potential risk factor for the restoration surface due to its pH and lactose content.

Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of whey protein beverages on the microhardness of four restorative composites with different microstructures (Filtek Z 350XT, Filtek Z 250XT, Filtek Bulk Fill (FBF), and Filtek 60).

Materials And Methodology: Forty disc-shaped samples from each material (in total 160) were prepared and wet polished. The samples of each group were randomly divided into four subgroups and subjected to four immersion media namely, whey protein Concentrate (WPC), whey protein Isolate (WPI), whey protein water (WPW), and distilled water (DW). The immersion protocol was performed twice for 10 min daily for 30 days followed by immersion in artificial saliva for another 10 min and stored in DW till the next cycle. The pre immersion and post immersion microhardness of all the samples were recorded with a Microhardness Tester FM-800. Data obtained were statistically analyzed using SPSS 25 software.

Results And Conclusions: All composites exhibited decline in microhardness, except for FBF. 60 composites which showed the highest decline in microhardness. WPC and WPI caused the greatest reduction in microhardness compared to WPW.

A mechanistic insight into whey protein isolate (WPI) fibrillation driven by divalent cations.

Food Chem

Protein fibrillation complex mechanisms led to an emerging trend in research for years. The mechanisms behind whey protein isolate (WPI) fibrillation driven by divalent cations remained still a matter of speculation. All cations (Ca, Fe, Mg, and Zn) enhanced the microenvironment polarity through π-π stacking, and the amide I and II shifts confirmed the fibrillation.

Dispersion stabilization of proteins by carrageenan in baked milk: A quantitative separation study.

Baked milk is subjected to prolonged high-temperature processing, which often undermines its dispersion stability. While carrageenan is known to inhibit milk demixing, its role in stabilizing heat-induced protein aggregates remains inadequately understood. In this study, we isolated casein micelles (CM), whey protein-casein aggregates (WPCA), and whey protein aggregates (WPA) from baked milk through centrifugation.

Emulsions play an important role in food systems by encapsulating and delivering active compounds, but maintaining their stability under various conditions can be challenging. This study explored how the concentrations of Tremella polysaccharides (TPs) (0-0.75 %) affects the structural of whey protein isolate (WPI) and the stability of their emulsions at pH 4.

We here explore confinement-induced assembly of whey protein nanofibrils (PNFs) into microscale fibers using microfocused synchrotron X-ray scattering. Solvent evaporation aligns the PNFs into anisotropic fibers, and the process is followed in situ by scattering experiments within a droplet of PNF dispersion. We find an optimal temperature at which the order parameter of the protein fiber is maximized, suggesting that the degree of order results from a balance between the time scales of the forced alignment and the rotational diffusion of the fibrils.
