The aims of this study were to develop a milk protein-based probiotic delivery system using a modified rennet-induced gelation method and to determine how the skim milk powder concentration level and pH, which can affect the rennet-induced intra- and inter-molecular association of milk proteins, affect the physicochemical properties of the probiotic delivery systems, such as the particle size, size distribution, encapsulation efficiency, and viability of probiotics in simulated gastrointestinal tract. To prepare a milk protein-based delivery system, skim milk powder was used as a source of milk proteins with various concentration levels from 3 to 10% (w/w) and rennet was added to skim milk solutions followed by adjustment of pH from 5.4 or 6.2. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG was used as a probiotic culture. In confocal laser scanning microscopic images, globular particles with a size ranging from 10 ㎛ to 20 ㎛ were observed, indicating that milk protein-based probiotic delivery systems were successfully created. When the skim milk powder concentration was increased from 3 to 10% (w/w), the size of the delivery system was significantly (p < 0.05) increased from 27.5 to 44.4 ㎛, while a significant (p < 0.05) increase in size from 26.3 to 34.5 ㎛ was observed as the pH was increased from 5.4 to 6.4. An increase in skim milk powder concentration level and a decrease in pH led to a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the encapsulation efficiency of probiotics. The viability of probiotics in a simulated stomach condition was increased when probiotics were encapsulated in milk protein-based delivery systems. An increase in the skim milk powder concentration and a decrease in pH resulted in an increase in the viability of probiotics in simulated stomach conditions. It was concluded that the protein content by modulating skim milk powder concentration level and pH were the key manufacturing variables affecting the physicochemical properties of milk protein-based probiotic delivery systems.

This study was performed to determine the feasibility of developing a healthy yogurt using tofu whey concentrates separated by nanofiltration (NF). The curd yogurt was prepared from whole milk with added skim milk powder, in which the NF powder was substituted at 0, 6.25, 12.5, or 25% for the skim milk powder. The quality characteristics were evaluated for pH, titratable acidity, viscosity, color, and viable cell counts. There were no significant differences in pH or titratable acidity between the control (yogurt with added skim milk powder only) and the yogurts with added NF powder, after 24 hr of fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$. The apparent viscosities of the yogurts with added NF powder were higher ($3,197{\sim}3,574\;cps$) than that of the control yogurt (3,196 cps). Lightness decreased, while yellowness increased, as the amount of NF powder increased. Sensory evaluations showed that the NF powder could be substituted for the skim milk powder at 6.25% without lowering the yogurt quality.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of various types of calcium sources on calcium metabolism. Sprague-Dawley male rate weighing approximately 82g were divided into 6 groups and fed experimental diets containing about 0.2% calcium for 4 weeks. Perilla leaves, dried sea mustard, mulberry leaves, loach, skim milk powder, and CaCO3 were used as calcium sources for this study. Food intake of experimental groups showed no significant difference from that of control group, but food efficiency ratio were higher in group fed loach as a calcium source. Apparent calcium absorption from perilla leaves, and skim milk powder groups as good as that in CaCO group. Femur length showed no significant difference among exjerimental groups with different calcium sources. The breaking force of bone was higher in loach and dried sea mustard groups. Weight, ash weight, and calcium content of the femur were higher in the loach diet group than in the others. Thus, calcium from not only skim milk powder but also perilla leaves, dried sea mustard, mulberry leaves, and loach appears readily available and all of these can be recommended as calcium sources.

Milk proteins have many potential sequences within their primary structure, each with a specific biological activity. In this study, we compared and investigated the bioactivities of hydrolysates of the domestic (A, B) and imported (C, D) skim milk powders generated using papain digestion. MALDI-TOF analysis revealed that all milk powder proteins were intact, indicating no autolysis. Electrophoretic analysis of hydrolysates showed papain treatment caused degradation of milk proteins into peptides of various size. The antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates, determined using 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and total phenolic contents (TPC) assays, increased with incubation times. In all skim milk powders, the antioxidant activities of hydrolysates were highest following 24 h papain treatment (TPC: A, 196.48 μM GE/L; B, 194.52 μM GE/L; C, 194.76 μM GE/L; D, 163.75 μM GE/L; ABTS: A, 75%; B, 72%; C, 72%; D, 57%). The number of peptide derived from skim milk powders, as determined by LC-MS/MS, was 308 for A, 283 for B, 208 for C, and 135 for D. Hydrolysate A had the highest antioxidant activity and the most potential antioxidant peptides amongst the four skim milk powder hydrolysates. A total of 4 β-lactoglobulin, 4 α_s1-casein, and 56 β-casein peptide fragments were identified as potential antioxidant peptides in hydrolysate A by LC-MS/MS. These results suggest that domestic skim milk could have applications in various industries, i.e., in the development of functional foods.

New type yogurt base were prepared from milk added with skim milk powder or purple sweet potato, and fermented by lactic acid bacteria (Streptococcus thermophilus and Bifidobacterium infantis, 1:1, v/v). The yogurt proudcts were evaluated for acid production(pH, titratiable acidity), number of viable cell, viscosity, sensory properties, and color value. The composition of some organic acids was also analyzed by GC. The acid production slightly decrerased by addition with purple sweet potato. There was no significant difference in viable cell counts between control (yogurt added with only skim milk powder) and yogurt added with purple sweet potato, and viable cell counts of all samples were above 9.08 log cfu/ml. Viscosity of yogurt added with purple sweet potato(36,800∼46,000 centipoise) was higher than that of yogurt added with only skim milk powder(32,200 centipoise). The overall sensory score of yogurt added with purple sweet potato(38.6%, dry base) was the best of tested yogurt. The major organic acid of yogurt added with purple sweet potato was lactic acid. its content was 0.997∼1.203%. malic acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, and fumaric acid were analyzed out a little. Lightness and yellowness decreased by addition with purple sweet potato but redness increased. Total color difference($\Delta$E) with yogurt addition with purple sweet potato and only skim milk powder were very high(above 11.46).

분유와 분유로 제조된 cheese의 미세구조(微細構造)가 전자 현미경(顯微鏡)에 의해서 관찰되었다. 동결건조 분유는 사과모양을 나타내었다. 동결건조 분유로 제조된 cheese는 전형적인 용융 cheese와 비교하여 표면의 구조가 비교적 편편하고 백색의 균일한 침적물을 나타내었다. 도입 분유 역시 동결건조 분유와 거의 유사한 모앙을 나타내었고, 도입분유로 제조된 cheese는 균일한 분산을 나타내나 표면이 약간 거칠고 caseins matrix와 침적물 사이에 공간이 있다. 시판 분유는 건조중 변성된 것으로 불규칙한 변성 응고물의 모양을 나타내었다. 시판분유로 제조된 cheese의 모양은 불규칙하고 작은 침적물과 세공성이 큰 것으로 나타나 분유의 열변성도는 cheese의 세공성을 증가시키는 것으로 보인다. 변성된 단백질은 변성되지 않은 단백질보다 polyphosphate에 의한 단백질 분산성이 덜 효과적인 것으로 보인다. 분유로 제조한 cheese의 내부구조에서 지방구막과 casein micelle이 전형적인 용융 cheese에 비해 아주 근접해있고 casein micelle이 아주 치밀한 양상을 나타내었다. 분유의 용융 기작도 전형 적인 cheese의 용융과는 다른 것으로 보인다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of spirulina powder on the growth properties of lactic acid bacteria in reconstituted skim milk. The spirulina powder supplemented to S. thermophilus and L acidophilus slightly stimulated lactic acid production. In addition, the growth and acid production of L. bulgaricus were enhanced by the addition of spirulina powder. When the spirulina powder was added to reconstituted skim milk at the level of 1%, the mixed cultures of S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus showed higher numbers of viable cells and higher acid production than the other cultures. The effects of the addition amounts of spirulina powder (1%, 2% and 3%) to the reconstituted skim milk on the growth properties of the mixed cultures of S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus were evaluated. The pH of the skim milk with added spirulina powder was lower than that of the control, but the amount of spirulina did not have a significant affect. The titratable acidity increased with the incubation time until 12 hr. The number of viable cells in the skim milk with added spirulina increased according to the amount of spirulina. Thus, the spirulina was effective for the increasing lactic acid bacteria in yoghurt.

Protein-enriched dairy powder is widely consumed to promote muscle synthesis. Recently, in Korea, elderly people have also begun consuming protein powder products to prevent muscle loss. However, these protein-enriched powders have poor flowability and hydration properties because of the fine particles of spray-dried milk protein powder. Therefore, in this study, the fluidized bed agglomeration process was used to solve these problems. The rheological and physical properties of milk protein isolate (MPI)/skim milk powder (SMP) mixtures were effectively improved via fluidized bed agglomeration. The particle size of the MPI/SMP mixtures significantly increased from 35.7-58 ㎛ to 118-136 ㎛, the flowability level improved from fair (21.4-26.3) to good (15.7-16.3), and the cohesiveness level changed from intermediate (1.27-1.36) to low (1.18-1.19) after fluidized bed agglomeration. In addition, the wetting time of the agglomerated MPI/SMP mixtures was effectively reduced to 4.67-58.3 s by fluidized bed agglomeration. These findings may be useful for manufacturing protein-enriched dairy powders with good instant properties.

One of the most critical issues in the dairy industry, alongside the low birth rate and the aging population, is the decrease in demand for milk. In this study, the consumption trends of 12 major dairy products distributed in Korea were predicted using a logistic model, the Gompertz model, and the Bass diffusion model, which are representative S-shaped growth models. The 12 dairy products are fermented milk (liquid type, cream type), butter, milk powder (modified, whole, skim), liquid milk (market, flavored), condensed milk, cheese (natural, processed), and cream. As a result of the analysis, the growth potential of butter, condensed milk, natural cheese, processed cheese, and cream consumption among the 12 dairy products is relatively high, whereas the growth of the remaining dairy product consumption is expected to stagnate or decrease. However, butter and cream are by-products of the skim milk powder manufacturing process. Therefore, even if the consumption of butter and cream grows, it is difficult to increase the demand of domestic milk unless the production of skim milk powder produced from domestic milk is also increased. Therefore, in order to support the domestic dairy industry, policy support should be focused on increasing domestic milk usage for the production of condensed milk, natural cheese, and processed cheese.
