High-intensity ultrasound pretreatment influence on whey protein isolate and its use on complex coacervation with kappa carrageenan: Evaluation of selected functional properties.
Abstract The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of high-intensity ultrasound (HIUS) treatment on whey protein isolate (WPI) molecular structure as a previous step for complex coacervation (CC) with kappa-carrageenan (KC) and its influence on CC functional properties. Protein suspension of WPI (1% w/w) was treated with an ultrasound probe (24 kHz, 2 and 4 min, at 50 and 100% amplitude), non HIUS pretreated WPI was used as a control. Coacervation was achieved by mixing WPI and KC dispersions (10 min). Time and amplitude of the sonication treatment had a direct effect on the molecular structure...

Comparing the effects of whey and casein supplementation on nutritional status and immune parameters in patients with chronic liver disease - a randomized double-blind controlled trial.
This study compared the effects of whey protein isolate (WP) and casein (CA) supplementation on nutritional status and immune parameters of CLD patients who were randomly assigned to take 20 g of WP or CA twice a day as a supplement for 15 days. Body composition, muscle functionality and plasmatic immunomarkers were assessed before and after supplementation. Patients were also classified according to the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) into less (MELD <15) and more (MELD≥15) more severe disease groups. Malnutrition, determined by the Subjective Global Assessment at baseline, was observed in 57.4% and 54.2% of...

Age ‐ and duration‐dependent effects of whey protein on high‐fat diet‐induced changes in body weight, lipid metabolism, and gut microbiota in mice
In this study, we investigated the beneficial effects attributed to whey protein in the context of high ‐fat diet (HFD) in mice at two different ages, with short or longer durations of whey protein supplementation. Here, a 5‐week dietary intervention with HFD in combination with either whey protein isolate (WPI) or the control nonwhey milk protein casein (CAS) was performed using 5‐week or 10‐ week‐old C57BL/6J mice. Notably, the younger mice had no prior history of ingestion of WPI, while older mice did. 5‐week‐old HFD‐WPI‐fed mice showed a decrease in weight gain and changes in the expression of genes w...

Preparation of Ca-alginate-whey protein isolate microcapsules for protection and delivery of L. bulgaricus and L. paracasei.
Abstract To promote the application of probiotics that are beneficial to hosts, calcium-alginate (Ca-Alg) coated whey protein isolate microcapsules were prepared for protection and delivery of L. bulgaricus and L. paracasei. The internal layer was formed with transglutaminase-induced gelation of whey protein isolate (WPI). Sodium alginate (SA) was applied to form outer layer with external Ca2+ gelation method. The microcapsules loaded with probiotics were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The re...

Molecules, Vol. 25, Pages 3313: Preparation and Compatibilization of PBS/Whey Protein Isolate Based Blends
Andrea Lazzeri In this paper the production of biopolymeric blends of poly(butylene succinate) PBS and plasticized whey protein (PWP), obtained from a natural by-product from cheese manufacturing, has been investigated for the production of films and/or sheets. In order to add the highest possible whey protein content, different formulations (from 30 to 50 wt.%) were studied. It was found that by increasing the amount of PWP added to PBS, the mechanical properties were worsened accordingly. This trend was attributed to the low compatibility between PWP and PBS. Consequently, the effect of the addition of soy lecithi...
