PCT No. PCT/JP95/02552 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 28, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 28, 1997 PCT Filed Dec. 13, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO97/01964 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 23, 1997Provided is a water soluble processed whey protein powder produced by combining a partial heat-denatured whey protein with a non-denatured whey protein. The resulting processed whey protein powder is more soluble in water than the partial heat-denatured whey protein alone, and is capable of producing a gel that is stronger than that produced from partial heat-denatured whey protein alone. Furthermore, the resulting gel exhibits high water retention, superior elasticity and smooth consistency and is useful in the manufacture of food. Provided also are methods for producing the processed whey protein powder and the gel.
