Cm. Bryant et Dj. Mcclements, MOLECULAR-BASIS OF PROTEIN FUNCTIONALITY WITH SPECIAL CONSIDERATION OF COLD-SET GELS DERIVED FROM HEAT-DENATURED WHEY, Trends in food science & technology, 9(4), 1998, pp. 143-151
Whey proteins are widely used as ingredients in foods because of their
unique functional properties, i.e. emulsification, gelation, thickeni
ng, foaming and water-binding capacity. This review describes the rece
nt development of cold-setting whey protein ingredients and their pote
ntial application in foods. We emphasize the importance of an understa
nding of the molecular basis of protein functionality to the developme
nt of ingredients. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
