Mixed gels of carrageenan (Car) and caprine whey protein concentrate (WPCc) (pH 7) were studied and compared with those prepared with Car and commercial bovine whey protein concentrate (WPCb). Dynamic rheology studies indicate that gels with WPCc were weaker (lower G') than those made with WPCb. However, textural parameters such as, hardness, springiness and cohesiveness were similar in both type of gels. The addition of CaCl incremented the elastic modulus (G'), hardness and adhesiveness of gels. The samples with caprine whey showed higher water holding capacity than samples with bovine whey. Confocal laser scanning microscope images of the gels, showed very different aspects according to the type of WPC used: WPCc-Car gels exhibited aggregates of proteins that interrupt the carrageenan network, while WPCb-Car gels showed a homogeneous appearance with proteins distributed throughout all the matrix.

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.

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.
