WHEY PROTEIN AGGREGATES PARTICLES AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to whey protein aggregate particles that can be used to stabilize foams, and more particularly edible foams, such as foamed dairy products. The invention provides a process for preparation of such whey protein aggregates, for the use of such particles for stabilizing foam, as well as edible foams or foamed product comprising such whey protein aggregate particles.

主权项

1. A process for the preparation of whey protein aggregate particles comprising the steps:
a. dispersing whey protein in an aqueous medium to form an aqueous solution; b. adjusting the pH of the solution obtained in step a) to a pH above 7; c. allowing the whey protein to hydrate in the solution obtained in step b); d. denaturing and gelling the whey protein by heating the solution of hydrated whey protein obtained in step c); e. drying the denatured and gelled whey protein obtained in step d) to form dry whey protein aggregate; and f. reducing the dried whey protein aggregate to a particle powder.
