The invention relates to a process for producing a modified cheese whey protein, including reacting a cheese whey protein with transglutaminase and comprising one or both of the following steps: (a) subjecting a cheese whey protein to an alkali treatment and/or a preheat treatment, prior to reacting the cheese whey protein with the transglutaminase; and/or (b) reacting the cheese whey protein with the transglutaminase under alkaline condition and/or while heating at a temperature that does not inactivate the transglutaminase. The modified cheese whey protein obtained by such a process has an excellent texture such as an excellent feeling during swallowing without a rough feeling and maintains its properties such as emulsifiability, foamability and water holding capacity. It can be used in a variety of foods. |
