Notes:
Membrane-processed acid whey protein concentrates were studied for their foaming and emulsifying properties in dilute whey protein solutions and in a 30% fat emulsion. Among the compositional factors and physicochemical characters which significantly correlated with foaming and emulsifying properties were protein hydrophobicity, solubility, free-sulfhydryl content, phosphorus and β-lactoglobulin concentration. Heptane binding was negatively correlated with foam overrun and foam stability of whey protein solutions, whereas, exposed hydrophobicity was positively correlated with overrun in the whipped topping.
