Changes in the solubility and SDS-PAGE profile of whey proteins during storage at different temperatures: A kinetic study
Whey is the soluble fraction of milk separated from the caseins during manufacture of rennet-coagulated cheese, (sweet whey) or use of acids (acid whey). Whey proteins are widely used in a variety of foods, primarily for their superior functional properties such as gelling and emulsification. Solubility is the major protein attribute affecting all functional properties. In this study, the effect of storage at different...
