Abstract :

The gel properties of nanofiltered milk protein concentrate (NF-MPC) and evaporated milk protein concentrate (EP-MPC) was compared at different temperatures. The NF-MPC and EP-MPC samples were gelled at 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45�°C with glucono-�´- lactone (GDL) respectively. The rheological properties (storage modulus and loss tangent), firmness, the degree of whey separation, and the microstructure of EP-MPC and NF-MPC gels were determined. With increasing gelation temperature from 25 to 45�°C, gelation time was significantly shortened and the pH of gelation point was slowly increased. The differences in gel properties between NF-MPC and EP-MPC were significant. EP-MPC formed strong gel networks as well as had the much higher storage modulus (Gâ��) and firmness (except for the 25�°C sample) and lower degree of whey separation than gels formed by NF-MPC. The nearly identical maximum in loss tangent (tan �´) and similar microstructure were observed in both NF-MPC and EP-MPC gels at the same gelation temperatures. In summary, our results clearly demonstrated that EP-MPC has superior gel properties compared with NF-MPC, but it needs further study on the NF-MPC gel properties with the preheat treatment or calcium addition in practical application.
