Emulsification properties of bovine milk protein isolate and associated enzymatic hydrolysates

Abstract Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions were prepared using bovine milk protein isolate (MPI) or MPI hydrolysates containing 1.60% (w/v) protein, 3.60% (w/v) lipid blend and 7.00% (w/v) lactose. The role of enzymatic treatment of MPI with FlavourzymeTM, NeutraseTM and ProtamexTM at two hydrolysis time points per enzyme [ranging in degree of hydrolysis (DH) from 15.6 to 37.1%] on the emulsifying properties was determined. All emulsion samples had mean fat globule size (d43) values
