Gelation, cheese properties

The valuable component of cheese whey is not the lactose but the whey proteins, primarily lactalbumin. The amino acid profile of these proteins is superior nutritionally to casein and is equal to or better than whole egg protein. The heat-denatured form of these proteins has been manufactured for many years usually by heating the cheese whey to precipitate the proteins. The product was tan colored and completely insoluble. With the advent of UF, these proteins could be recovered, concentrated and demineralized athermally. The result was a "whey protein concentrate" (WPC) with improved solubility and other functional properties (emulsification, foamability, water binding, gelation and cloud stability). [Pg.233]
