Among milk proteins, caseins are not subjected to chemical changes during heat treatment of milk; however, whey proteins are partially denatured following heat treatment. The degree of whey protein denaturation by heat treatment is decreased in the order of high temperature short time (HTST) > low temperature long time (LTLT) > direct-ultra-high temperature (UHT) > indirect-UHT. As a result of heat treatment, several changes, including variations in milk nitrogen, interactions between beta-lactoglobulin and k-casein, variations in calcium sulfate and casein micelle size, and delay of milk coagulation by chymosin action, were observed. Lysine, an important essential amino acid found in milk, was partially inactivated during heat treatment. Therefore, the available amount of lysine decreased slightly (1~4% decrease) after heat treatment, However, the influence of heat treatment on the nutritional value of milk was negligible. Nutritional value and nitrogen balance did not differ significantly between UHT and LTLT in milk. In conclusion, our results showed that heat treatment of milk did not alter protein quality. Whey proteins denatured to a limited extent during the heat treatment process, and the nutritional value and protein quality were unaffected by heat treatment.

In this study, we explored the synergistic effects of whey protein concentrate (WPC) and soybean protein components after fermentation with lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, and identified several peptides with desirable physiological functions, proteolysis, and immune effects. Antioxidant activity was determined using 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, ferric-reducing antioxidant power, and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays, followed by cross-validation of the four antioxidant activities. These assays revealed that samples with a 8:2 and 9:1 whey to soy ratio possessed higher antioxidant activity than the control samples. Antibacterial potency testing revealed high antibacterial activity in the 9:1 and 8:2 samples. Cytotoxicity testing of samples using 3-(4, 5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide revealed that only the 10:0, 1:9, and 0:10 samples had <80% viable cells, indicating no significant cytotoxicity. Nitric oxide (NO) assays revealed that NO expression was reduced in 8:2, 5:5, and 0:10 protein ratio fermentations, indicating low inflammatory reaction stimulatory potential. Cytokine expression was confirmed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. The 8:2 sample had the lowest inflammatory cytokine (interleukin [IL]-1α, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α) levels compared with the lipopolysaccharide-treated group. Amino acid profiling of the 8:2 sample identified 17 amino acids. These results suggest that inoculating and fermenting Lactobacillus plantarum DK203 and Lactobacillus paracasei DK209 with an 8:2 mixture of WPC and soybean protein releases bioactive peptides with excellent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making them suitable for functional food development.

High-protein fermented whey beverage (FWB) was manufactured using whey protein concentrate (WPC) and Lactobacillus plantarum DK211 isolated from kimchi. This study was designed to evaluate the anti-obesity activity of FWB in male rats fed a high-fat diet. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups (n=8 per group). The three groups differed in their diet; one group received a normal diet (ND), another, a high-fat diet (HD), and the third, a HD plus fermented whey beverage (HDFWB), for 4 wk. Supplementation with FWB (the HDFWB group) prevented weight gain and body fat accumulation. The food intake in the HDWFB group was significantly lower (p<0.05) than that of the HD group. The HDWFB group also showed a significant decrease in organ weights (p<0.05), except for the weight of the testis. There was a significant decrease in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides in the HDFWB group compared with the HD group (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in serum HDL-cholesterol levels among the experimental groups. Rats ingesting FWB (the HDFWB group) also showed a significant decrease in blood glucose levels, and plasma levels of insulin, leptin, and ghrelin compared to HD group (p<0.05). These results indicate that FWB has beneficial effects on dietary control, weight control, and reduction in fat composition and serum lipid level; consequently, it may provide antiobesity and hypolipidemic activity against high fat diet-induced obesity in rats.

The quality characteristics and storage stability of chicken breast meat (CBM) was investigated following the injection of whey protein (WP) as a curing ingredient. The moisture content of CBM decreased with increasing concentration of WP. The highest concentration of WP (7%) resulted in the lowest moisture and fat content and the highest protein content of CBM. Injection of WP elevated the pH and water holding capacity (WHC) of CBM. The cooking loss of CBM was significantly decreased with WP injections of 3% and higher. All WP injections increased the $L^*$ of the CBM but decreased the $a^*$ and $b^*$. WP injection increased the springiness, cohesiveness, and chewiness and decreased the hardness of the CBM. WP injection increased 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) after 3 and 7 days of storage. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content of the CBM increased with increased concentrations of WP. The total microbial count (TMC) of CBM injected with WP was higher initially and after 3 days of storage. Our results showed WP injection improved the WHC of CBM but decreased the storage stability by increasing TBARS, VBN and TMC.

Microbial bioconversion using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) provides several human health benefits. Although whey and whey-derived bioactive compounds can contribute to an improvement in human health, the potential anti-obesity effect of whey bioconversion by LAB has not been well studied. This study aimed to investigate whether bioconversion of whey by Pediococcus pentosaceus KI31 and Lactobacillus sakei KI36 (KI31-W and KI36-W, respectively) inhibits 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation. Both KI31-W and KI36-W reduced intracellular lipid accumulation significantly, without decreasing 3T3-L1 preadipocyte proliferation. In addition, obesity-related transcription factor (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ) and genes (adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein and lipoprotein lipase) were down-regulated significantly in 3T3-L1 cells in the presence of KI31-W and KI36-W. Collectively, these results suggest that bioconversion of whey by LAB exhibits anti-adipogenic activity and may be applied as a therapeutic agent for obesity.

The purpose of this study was to develop Mozzarella cheese analogues by using dairy products in the form of WPC 34, WPC 80, whey protein, demineralized whey powder, and lactose powder along with soy milk. Soy milk was separately blended with 5% WPC 34 (A), WPC 80 (B), DWP (C), WP (D), and LP (E) and also with 10% WPC 34 (F), WPC 80 (G), DWP (H), WP (I), and LP (J). Blending of soy milk and whey products showed that increase in the proportions of whey products (WPC 34, WPC 80, DWP, WP, and LP) led to increase in the protein, lactose, and SNF levels of the admixture. A decrease in fat content was observed for all cheeses prepared from mixtures, relative to those for the control cheese. The nitrogen content within analogue samples was higher than that in the control cheese and increased with increase in the proportions of whey products within soy milk. Higher water soluble nitrogen levels were observed in cheese prepared from whey-product-blended soy milk than in the control cheese. The non-protein nitrogen level within the control Mozzarella cheese was significantly lower than that in the Mozzarella analogues, and, in the case of cheese analogues, it increased with increase in the proportion of whey products in soy milk. With regard to the physicochemical and sensory qualities of the Mozzarella cheese analogues and control cheese, the pH of all analogue samples, with the exception of the cheese prepared from group G, was lower than that of the control Mozzarella cheese. Rheological studies showed that the hardness of Mozzarella cheese analogues was lower than that of the control Mozzarella, while the elasticity, cohesiveness, and brittleness of the analogues was higher. The control sample had a higher meltability level than any of the Mozzarella analogues. Mozzarella cheese prepared with the traditional method had higher browning and stretching levels than all the cheese analogues, but a lower oiling-off level.

이 연구는 Whey배지에 Whey protein concentrate 80% (WPC-80)와 Whey protein isolate(WPI)를 첨가하여 B. bifidum Bb-11의 생장촉진효과를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 또 이 단백질들의 구성성분인 $\alpha$-Lactalbumin과 $\beta$-Lactogluburin을 trypsin으로 처리하여 얻어진 분해물을 분자량에 따라 분획하여 각 분획별로 그 효과를 구명하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. WPC 첨가에 의한 효과는 대조구에 비하여 생장촉진효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으나, 첨가농도에 따른 차이는 근소하였다. WPI는 뚜렷한 생장촉진효과를 보여주지 못하였으며, 첨가량이 많을수록 생장이 억제되었다. 두 종류의 유청단백질을 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 동안 trypsin처리한 후 UF처리에 의하여 분획하고 각 분획들을 Centricon-30 으로 농축한 후, 얻어진 $\alpha$-lactalbumin 분해물 3분획에 대한 단백질농도는 각각 11.63mg, 7.79mg 및 5.21mg 이었고, $\beta$-Lactoglubulin 분해물 3분획은 각각 4.12mg, 5.30 mg 및 9.35mg 이었다. $\alpha$-Lactalbumin분해물 세 분획 모두 대조구에 비하여 높은 생장촉진효과를 나타내었으며, 그중에서 분자량 10,000~3,000Da(F-II)과 3,000Da 이하(F-III)의 두 분획이 모두 높게 나타난 것으로 보아, 분자량 10,000Da 이하의 peptide들이 bifidobacteria의 생장을 향상시키는 것으로 밝혀졌다. $\beta$-Lactoglubulin 분해물 세 분획들도 대조구에 비하여 생장이 좋게 나타났다. 분자량 10,000Da 이하의 peptide를 함유하는 두 분획은 생장이 우수하였으며 배양 24 시간후에는 분자량 3,000Da 이상의 두 분획(F-I, F-II)이 대조구에 비하여 빠르게 생장이 저하된 반면, 분자량 3,000 Da이하의 분획(F-III)에서는 계속적인 생장촉진효과를 보여주었다.
