Notes:
Heating milk at 120°C at pH 6.55 or pH 6.85 caused the denaturation of whey proteins and increased their association with the casein micelles. The dissociation of K-, β-, and αs-caseins (in that order by extent) from the casein micelles increased with severity of heat treatment. The effect was greater at higher pH. Gel filtration chromatography followed by gel electrophoresis of fractions showed the dissociated protein was composed of disulfide-linked k-casein/β-lactoglobulin complexes of varying composition, casein aggregates of varying sizes and some monomeric protein. When reconstituted concentrate was prepared from NFDM made from heated milk the non-sedimentable (88,000 ± g for 90 min) caseins or whey proteins/heating time profiles were altered and the rate of aggregation, as measured by turbidity of heated milks, was significantly reduced.
