Odor-active volatile sulfur compounds are formed in heated food protein systems. In the present study, hydrogen sulfide (HS) was found to be the most abundant sulfur volatile in whey protein solutions (whey protein isolate [WPI], a whey model system and single whey proteins) by gas chromatography-flame photometric detector (GC-FPD) analysis after heat treatments (60-90 °C for 10 min, 90 °C for 120 min and UHT-like treatment). HS was detected in WPI after heating at 90 °C for 10 min, and was significantly increased at higher heat load (90 °C for 120 min and the UHT-like treatment). Site-specific LC-MS/MS-based proteomic analysis was conducted, monitoring desulfurization reactions in these protein systems to investigate the mechanism of HS formation in heated WPI. Cysteine residues from beta-lactoglobulin were found to be responsible for the formation of HS in heated WPI, presumably via beta-elimination.

Characterization of Bifidobacterium bifidum growth and metabolism on whey protein phospholipid concentrate.

Whey protein phospholipid concentrate (WPPC) is a co-product generated during the manufacture of whey protein isolate. WPPC is depleted of simple sugars but contains numerous glycoconjugates embedded in the milk fat globule membrane, suggesting this fraction may serve as a carbon source for growth of bifidobacteria commonly enriched in breast fed infants. In this work, we demonstrate that WPPC can serve as a sole carbon source for the growth of Bifidobacterium bifidum, a species common to the breastfed infant and routinely used as a probiotic.

The nutritional value of any food product has historically been measured by the calorific value of individual components, harking back to the days of the development of the bomb calorimeter. A fuller understanding of nutrition later took into account the need for specific components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, that ere known to be required for good human health and growth. In milk and milk products, these include casein and whey proteins, lactose, milk fat triacylglycerides, minor lipid components (both charged and neutral), calcium, and micronutrients.

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).
