Two experiments, utilizing 204 broiler chicks of the Maniker strain, were conducted to study the effects of dried whey and chitin on the growth of chicks. In the first experiment, diets containing 5%, 10%, or 15% dried whey, or a control diet with no whey, were fed to chicks from 1 day to 4 weeks of age. There were no significant differences among the dietary groups, with respect to the rate of growth or protein or feed efficiency. In the second experiment, chicks were fed with diets containing no whey, 2% chitin, 20% dried whey, or 20% dried whey plus 2% chitin, from 1 day to 4 weeks of age. Adverse effects (diarrhea, crooked toes and enlarged cecum) were observed in the group fed 20% dried whey. The protein efficiency ratio (PER) and feed efficiency ratio (FER) tended to improve in the dietary groups with dried whey, as compared to the control group. No significant differences were observed in the total carcass nitrogen and lipid levels of dietary groups. But the chitin-supplemented diets tended to improve on the growth rate compared to the groups without chitin. The results of the two experiments suggest that the growing broiler chick can tolerate up to 15% dried whey in the diet, without any harmful effect on growth. Also, chitin may improve the poorer growth rate of chicks fed dried whey, but not all of the adverse effects of whey.

This investigation was undertaken in order to elicit the relationship between the extent of ultrafiltration processing of whey and its effect on composition and yield of resultant whey protein concentrate (WPC). Cheddar cheese whey was fractionated through ultrafiltration to an extent of 70, 80, 90, 95, 97.5% and 97.5% volume reduction followed by I stage and II stage diafiltration. After each level of ultrafiltration, the composition of WPC was monitored. Similarly, the initial whey was adjusted to 3.0, 6.2 and 7.0 pH levels and ultrafiltration was carried out to elicit the effect of pH of ultrafiltration on the composition. Further, initial whey was adjusted to different levels of whey protein content ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 per cent and subjected to ultrafiltration to different levels. The various range of retentate obtained were further condensed and spray dried in order to assess the yield of WPC per unit volume of whey used and the quantity of whey required to produce unit weight of product. With the progress of ultrafiltration, there was a progressive increase in protein content and decrease in lactose and ash content. The regression study led to good relationships with $R^2$ values of more than 0.95 between the extents of permeate removed and the resultant changes in composition of each of the constituents. Whey processed at pH 3.0 had significantly a very low ash content and high protein content as compared to processing at 6.2 and 7.0. The yield of WPC per unit volume of whey varied significantly with the initial protein content. Higher initial protein content led to higher yield of all ranges of WPC and the quantity of whey required per unit weight of spray dried WPC significantly reduced. Regression equations establishing the relationship between initial protein content of whey and the yield of various types of WPC have been derived with very high $R^2$ values of 0.99. This study revealed that, the yield and composition of whey can be monitored strictly by controlling the processing parameters and WPC can be produced depending on the food formulation requirement.

This study was carried out to evaluate the growth characteristics of Propionbacterium freudenreichii KCCM 31227 and production of organic acids in whey broth. Bacterial growth and increase rate of TTA (Total Titratible Acidity) were analysed. Log numbers of Propionibacterium freudenreichii KCCM 31227 was at the highest peak at 7.5${\times}10^7$ cfu/ml in fementation of 72 hr in 12% whey broth treated with low temperature long time method (60$^{\circ}C$, 30min) containing 1% yeast extract. TTA value of 12% whey broth treated with low temperature long time method and containing 1% yeast extract showed the highest peak at 5.2 in fermentation of 72 hr. The increase rate of cells and TTA in whey broth revealed almost the same tendency. Production of propionic and acetic acids showed higher value in the whey broth treated with low temperature long time method.

This experiment was carried out to study changes in solubility and emulsifying properties of whey protein. Whey protein hydrolysates were obtained from tryptic hydrolysis of whey protein concentrate at pH 8.0 and 37$^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours. Emulsifying activity of whey protein hydrolysate was highest at 4 hours of hydroysis and at 5.50% of DH. During hydrolysis of whey protein concentrate with trypsin, ${\alpha}$-lactalbumin was not easily broken down. But ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin was hydrolysed rapidly from the early stage of hydrolysis, producing several low molecular weight peptides, which have to participate in increasing emusifying activity. The solulbility of hydyolysates tended to increase depending on hydrolysis time; however, there was a gradual decrease after 5 hours. The hydrolysate had a minimum solubility near the isoelectric point range (pH 4∼5). The more hydrolysed the whey protein concentrates, the more soluble they are near the pl. They aye also more soluble above pH 6. Emulsifying activity of hydrolysates showed similar results to solubility. Creaming stability gradually increased when hydrolysis increased, increasing rapidly above pH 8 after 4 hours of hydrolysis.

This study was carried out to investigate the rheological properties of bread dough containing whey ferment cultured by L. acidophilus KCCM 32820 and P. freudenreichii KCCM 31227. Instrumental analysis such as farinograph, amylograph, extensograph, fermentation power, total titratable acidity (TTA) of dough and pH of dough were tested. On farinograph, difference of water absorption between doughs with and without whey ferment was 0.4% and dough containing whey ferment showed long development time of 3.2 min compared to dough without whey ferment, but showed shorter stability of 16.2 min. On amylograph, there was no significant difference on gelatinization and maximum viscosity temperature; however, maximum viscosity of flour with whey ferment revealed low amylograph unit. On extensograph, value of resistance and R/E ratio of dough containing whey ferment were higher than those of dough without whey ferment. On analysis of dough fermentation power by yeast, dough without whey ferment showed higher volume than dough with whey ferment during fermentation of 240 min. However, TTA of dough was higher in dough with whey ferment than that of the control without whey ferment, even though pH value was low.

In this study, Pullulan Production from whey medium by Aureohsidium pullulans was investigated. When the Pullulan production from whey medium was carried outs final cell concentration was similar to sucrose basal medium but Pullulan concentration was less than 5g/$\ell$. For pullulan production from whey medium, adaptation culture technique was tried on lactose and galactose base medium When the adaptation culture technique was not applied, the maximum concentration of pullulan was 3.4g/$\ell$ for lactose, 2.5g/$\ell$ for galactose. Adapted strains produced 10~12g/$\ell$ from lactose, 10~11g/$\ell$ from galactose. The pullulan production from lactose basal medium was 13.5g/$\ell$ for lactose adapted strains and 18.6g/$\ell$ for galactose adapted strains. When the adapted strains were inoculated on whey medium, maximum pullulan production was obtained at initial pH 3.0.

The purpose of this research was to study the effects of kefir whey (kefir whey, peptides, lactic acid) on skin care properties including skin lightening effect and acne treatment. The final aim was to develop a new cosmetic product and enhance the value of dairy products. The results of skin lightening tests showed that all three kefir whey components (kefir whey, peptides and lactic acid) had inhibitory ability against melanin synthesis. Furthermore, copper chelating analysis demonstrated that both kefir whey and kefir whey peptides could chelate the copper in tyrosinase, which might explain the mechanism of inhibition. The ability for acne treatment indicated that lactic acid level higher than 60 mg/ml could inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acne, whereas no inhibition was found with other components.

Casein과 whey의 가수분해 물에 대한 항산화 능을 측정하기 위해 연구를 수행하였다. pH에 따른 Total antioxidant capacity(TAC)는 casein 및 whey 모두 pH 6.0 에서 보다 pH 7.4에서 더 높은 TAC 결과를 나타내었다. Casein이 whey보다 농도가 증가함에 따라 TAC 값이 증가하였으며 이는 배양시간이나 pH에 따른 TAC 측정에서와 같이 casein이 whey보다 더 높은 TAC 값을 나타내고 있으나, $2,000{\mu}g/mL$에서는 TAC 값이 감소하여 casein, whey 모두 유사한 TAC 값을 나타내었다. Trypsin에 의한 casein 및 whey의 가수분해는 반응 10분 이후부터는 NPN 량이 더 이상 증가하지 않았으며 casein보다 whey가 분해율이 낮았다. Trypsin처리한 casein과 whey의 TAC를 측정한 결과로서 trypsin 처리구가 무처리구에 비해 높은 TAC 결과를 나타내었다.

Fermented whey solution presenting bifidogenic growth stimulation (BGS) activity was processed as prototypes such as sterilized fermented whey (SFW), spray-dried fermented whey (SDFW), and freeze-dried fermented whey (FDFW) and their BGS activities were compared. In optical density ($OD_{600}$) test, the BGS activity of three prototypes, which showed similar activities, were significantly different with non-fermented whey solution adjusted to pH 4.5 as a control (P<0.05). In viable cell count test, SDFW had the most positive influence than other prototypes on the BGS activity even though the difference was not significant. However, the activities of all prototypes were significantly different than the negative control (no addition). These results indicate that the processed prototypes of fermented whey solution show BGS activities and might be commercialized, with further evidences, in animal or human studies.

A Whey-based medium was formulated with Lactobacillus brevis to investigate whether any functional peptides could derive from whey protein. The optimal concentrations of the ingredients of the medium for the growth of Lactobacillus were determined as 2% whey protein concentrate and 1% glucose and 0.5% yeast extracts. The growth of Lb. brevis was improved with the supplementation of yeast extracts than glucose. The viable cells counts of Lb. brevis reached to 2.0 × 10$^8$CFU/mL in the whey-based medium. The whey protein hydrolysates recovered from the supernatant after centrifugation at 10,000 x g for 10min induced strong inhibitory activity against ACE. When the whey protein hydrolysate were partially purified by a membrane tubing below 8,000Da, the partially purified fraction remained 64.7 ${\pm}$ 3.6% of the ACE inhibition activity of the whey protein hydrolysates and IC$_{50}$ was 38.8 ${\pm}$ 2.2mg/mL. The whey-based medium was proved to be effective in producing ACE inhibitory peptides by lactic bacteria fermented whey protein.
