Systematical characterization of functional and antioxidative properties of heat-induced polymerized whey proteins.

ABSTRACT: Effects of pH (6-8), protein concentration (6-11%, w/v), heating temperature (70-95 °C) and time (5-30 min) on functional and antioxidative properties of heat-induced polymerized whey protein were systematically investigated. All samples were determined for solubility at pH 4.6, emulsion capacity and stability, and antioxidative properties involving 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis(2-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) scavenging abilities. Heating resulted in significant loss in solubility, emulsion capacity and stability for whey protein, p < 0.05. Heating decreased DPPH but enhanced ABTS scavenging ability for whey protein significantly, p < 0.05. Changes caused by pH variation were much stronger than those observed for other factors. Both protei
