PROCESSES FOR ENCAPSULATING PROTEIN AND PRODUCTS THEREOF

摘要

Methods of encapsulating fully denatured or partially denatured protein (e.g., whey) involving milling the protein into a fine powder, pouring the powdered protein into a bow! containing an encapsulating agent (e.g., lipid), heating the combination until the encapsulating agent melts, and mixing the combination until the protein is completely covered/encapsulated. After the protein is covered/encapsulated, it is cooled so that it can be added as an ingredient to other foods.
